Can I Use AutoCAD on the Web, iPad, or Mobile?

Short Answer
Yes. Your AutoCAD licence from Get Renewed Tech includes access to the full desktop application, AutoCAD Web, and the AutoCAD mobile app. This allows you to view, edit, and create drawings across multiple devices.

What Is Included with Your AutoCAD Licence?

  • Windows / Mac — AutoCAD desktop application
  • Web browser — AutoCAD Web
  • iPhone / iPad — AutoCAD mobile app
  • Android — AutoCAD mobile app

AutoCAD Web
AutoCAD Web allows you to open, edit, and save DWG files directly in your browser, without installing the desktop software.

This is useful if:

  • You are using a computer where you cannot install software
  • You need to quickly review or make small changes to a drawing
  • You want to access files from a shared or temporary device

To use it, go to web.autocad.com and sign in with your Autodesk account.

AutoCAD Mobile App
The AutoCAD mobile app allows you to view, create, and edit drawings on your phone or tablet.

Sign in with the same Autodesk email address your licence is assigned to, and any included features should become available automatically.

Can I Use Web or Mobile Instead of the Desktop App?
Yes, but the web and mobile versions are more limited than the full desktop application. They are best for viewing files, making smaller edits, and working while away from your main computer. For full drafting and design work, the desktop version is still recommended.

Other Included AutoCAD Toolsets
Your AutoCAD licence may also include access to specialised AutoCAD toolsets, such as:

  • AutoCAD Architecture
  • AutoCAD Electrical
  • AutoCAD MEP
  • AutoCAD Map 3D
  • AutoCAD Mechanical
  • AutoCAD Plant 3D
  • AutoCAD Raster Design

These can be accessed through your Autodesk account where available.
