- [Instructor] We're now back in good old AutoCAD
on the desktop, and what we're going to do now
is go from the Start tab in AutoCAD.
I've got no drawings open, whatsoever.
What I'm going to do is open up the drawing
that I saved in the cloud in the web and mobile folders
in the previous video.
You'll remember I had the drawing open
in the AutoCAD Web app
and I was in my AutoCAD Web and Mobile folders,
and I added a trace to the drawing
when I was in the AutoCAD Web app.
Now, imagine that trace
is now saved to the drawing somewhere
and somebody has now opened up AutoCAD
and now wants to open that web and mobile-based drawing.
So what they do is they make sure that there's signed in
using their Autodesk account, which they are, up here.
You'll also notice that I'm signed in
down here, bottom right.
There's my email address there.
And what it's doing is it's just letting me know
that I'm signed to my AutoCAD license
using my Autodesk account.
AutoCAD is a subscription-based product.
You have to be signed to use it.
I'm going to go up to the Quick Access tool bar up here,
click on Open from Web and Mobile,
and it'll now go
to the Open from AutoCAD Web and Mobile dialogue box.
If I come all the way down the list and keep scrolling,
just using the wheel on my mouse,
I'm looking for GF again, like I did last time.
So let's make sure that we find it.
There it is.
There's my cloud drawing there.
So what I'm I'm going to do, is I'm going to open that drawing up
in the AutoCAD desktop app.
So that'll take a few seconds to load up
and there it is there.
And that's my drawing
that I saved to the web and mobile folders.
Now, if I go to the Collaborate tab on the ribbon
and I click on my Traces palette,
surprise, surprise, there's my trace.
The Restrooms/Config trace.
When I click on it, that'll highlight it in the drawing.
Now isn't that cool?
That trace is readable in my AutoCAD desktop app software.
Even though I created that trace in AutoCAD in a browser.
I could have also created that trace
in the AutoCAD mobile app,
on something like a smartphone, or a tablet, as well.
So what I can do there now,
is while I'm in the trace, I'll check the Restrooms/Config,
I'll click on the revision cloud.
I can delete that. I'll just hit the Delete key.
Get rid of the multiline text, as well.
Again, hit the Delete key.
I can now close that trace, like so.
I'm done with it. It's finished.
I can right-click on it.
I could rename it as complete,
or I could just delete it from the drawing.
So there's now no traces left in the drawing.
And what I can do now is just double click on the wheel
to zoom extent, make any other necessary changes,
save it again, and then again, open it
in the web app later on
and make some are more changes and add more traces.
So that traces technology is incredibly useful
when you're working out on site and you need the mobility
when you're using your AutoCAD drawings.
Now, remember, if you've got a subscription to AutoCAD,
you've also got access to AutoCAD web and AutoCAD mobile.
Check them out, talk to your IT people,
your computer people,
and find out if you've got access to them
and check out which login you need to use to get into them.
So, AutoCAD web, very quick and easy it's web.autocad.com.
And if you need AutoCAD mobile,
you go to your relevant app store, download the AutoCAD app
and then use your Autodesk account credentials
to log into the app.
It's that quick and easy.
But it gives you that amazing degree of mobility
and collaboration with your AutoCAD drawings.
