Project Butterfly technology preview

Project Butterfly is a new Web CAD application from Autodesk that lets you edit and share AutoCAD drawings online from a Web browser without having to install or download anything.

It provides features that help accelerate and improve the design process by bridging the gap between you and the people you work with. Try Project Butterfly here.

Edit and Access: With Project Butterfly, AutoCAD drawings are available from anywhere. Open them and even edit them from any computer, using just a Web browser. Its editor is powerful and accurate while being easy to use, even for non CAD professionals. And you can download your drawings back to your computer after making changes to them.

Sharing: Sending files is a thing of the past. You can now have your colleagues, clients or friends view or edit your drawings online by sending them an invitation. Just like you, they open them up in their browser, so they don’t need CAD software or the drawing files. In fact, they don’t even need to have a Butterfly account, they’re like guests in your drawing. No copies of your drawing are created in the sharing process, so any changes your recipients make are applied directly to the drawing, so you don’t have to manage multiple files and different versions.

Meetings: Invite other people to an online meeting, where both sides discuss and edit the drawing in real-time. Yes, both sides can edit the drawing simultaneously.
You can control whether participants can edit the drawing or only view it, by setting permissions. As before, you can invite anyone to co-edit with you. Your participants don’t need a Butterfly account or any software.
