ZWCAD Touch Update for Android Brings Exciting New Features

ZWCAD Design today announced the release of a brand new update for ZWCAD Touch on Android. Version 1.2 brings 3D view to Android, as well as image insertion, newly compatible 3rd party cloud storage services, as well as improved search functionality.

Fully Functioning 3D View

ZWCAD Touch for Android is finally catching up to its iOS cousin, updated with the highly anticipated 3D View and 3D View Control features. Users can now open .DWG files containing 3D solids, and switch among different visual styles, such as 2D and 3D wireframe. Greater control is also offered to users, allowing them to orbit, pan and zoom, enabling the thorough inspection of drawings and designs.

Insert Images to your Designs

Another sought-after feature from ZWCAD Touch iOS has now arrived on Android. Version 1.2 allows users to place photos in to designs. This feature has been used previously to add images of on-site issues to the design, make notes of inspiration and examples, and any other notable issues that would be hard to explain in writing.

ZWCAD Touch for Android also offers a new export feature, allowing users to send their drawings as a .JPG file to a collaborator without the access to ZWCAD Touch.

New SugarSync and Box Compatibility

ZWCAD Touch’s new compatibility with SugarSync and Box means that even more users can now share their drawings, not only between their PC and mobile devices, but also with clients and contributors.  Adding to the mainstream providers such as DropBox, GoogleDrive and OneDrive (formerly SkyDrive), as well as many others, third-party cloud synchronization allows users to automatically synchronize their work between their desktop PC and their mobile device,  indicating they can take their designs with them anywhere, worry free. It also allows synchronized sharing between departments and offices, encouraging greater and easier collaboration and annotation.

Improved Search Functions

Having received feedback from users regarding the inability to search for drawings throughout the phone’s folders, ZWCAD Touch for Android now automatically searches through all available folders, and filter out any unwanted folders without .DWG files, making it even easier for users to store, organize and find their drawings and designs.

ZWCAD Touch is available for Android and iOS. Click on the links to download, and keep an eye out on the brand new ZWCAD Touch Facebook page for more news, tips and tricks.
