- [Instructor] We're staying in the AutoCAD web app
and I've got the GF 1031 Southeast Madison cloud drawing
open in my AutoCAD web and mobile folders
like we saved previously.
Now, what I'm going to do is I'm going to show you
a really unique tool that's available
in both the AutoCAD web app and the AutoCAD mobile app,
and it's called traces.
And it allows me to collaborate quickly and easily
with somebody who might be back at the office
using the AutoCAD desktop app.
So I might be out on site somewhere
using the AutoCAD web app or the AutoCAD mobile app.
I've got my drawing on my device
which might be in a browser or in the mobile app.
And what I can do is I can add a trace to a drawing
that I've already saved to the web mobile folders.
I can do this with drawing save to things
like OneDrive and Google Drive as well.
It doesn't matter which type of cloud space you're using,
so to speak.
So in the drawing itself, I'm in the model tab,
and I'm going to zoom in on the restrooms here, like so.
There's the restrooms,
and you can see the WCs and the sinks and so on.
And what I want to do is go to the traces tab here, like so.
And click on new trace.
So when I click on new trace,
the drawing kind of goes a bit weird.
Don't worry about it, it's now in trace mode.
And you can see there's an SB there
letting people know that it's me
who's placing this particular trace in the drawing.
So this trace will be aligned with my Autodesk account.
So you'll notice there's the trace there with the time,
my name, it's just called Trace2 at the moment,
I'll rename that in a minute.
I'm going to come down here to the annotate tab
and select rev cloud.
And you'll notice I can change the arc length,
I can go rectangular, polygonal and so on.
I'm going to click on the arc length first.
And it's asking me there for an arc length.
I'm going to type in 250 as my arc length and press enter.
And then I'm going to select rectangular, like so.
I'm going to place a rectangular rev cloud about here,
click, drag it around the area, like so, click again.
There's my rev cloud in my trace.
Now what I'm going to do is come here to MTEXT, like so.
There's only multiline text available
in the web app and the mobile app.
So I'm going to click on MTEXT there.
And it asks me for a little area to place the text.
I'm going to zoom in a bit,
and I'm going to utilize this little space just here, like so.
So I'll click there
and I'm going to type in check rest rooms config.
So I'm going to ask to check the configuration
of the restrooms, give the text a good height.
I'm going to go for, let's say 200 there.
So that'll be 200 millimeters high in the model space.
I click on the tick to confirm, and there it is.
Let's see, check restrooms config.
So my trace is now placed in my drawing.
So I can go up here and click on the tick to say I'm done.
And then obviously I'm back in regular drawing mode.
I'm not in trace mode anymore.
I can then right click on the trace here.
And what I can do now is I can rename it.
And we'll call it restrooms.
And I can spell it correctly.
Obviously, that's always good.
Restrooms config, like that.
Press enter to confirm
and that is now a restrooms config trace.
That's done, finished, sorted.
I can now double click on the wheel to zoom extent
just like I can in the desktop app.
And what I'm going to do now is save the drawing
to my AutoCAD web and mobile folders.
So I just go up here, click on save.
I can also do a save as if I want to.
I'm not going to, I'm just going to click
on the actual save up here.
So I want to save.
You'll see that cashing because I'm in a browser
and it'll say it's saving.
And when that goes back to the word save,
we know that the drawing has been saved.
What I can do now is actually log out of my AutoCAD web app.
So I'll click here on my little sort of profile
and I can sign out, like so.
When I sign out, that'll take me back
to the web.AutoCAD.com page on the internet.
