To say our way of working over the past year has changed is quite an understatement. Many of us began and are still working from home, which presents its own set of challenges. With it, some things went away\u2014like the coffee pot, water cooler and power lunches\u2014but the actual work aspects remain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of those is collaboration. It was already in a state of change, but that change went into overdrive this year. The AutoCAD web app<\/a> and mobile app<\/a> are even more crucial to how we work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And there is another collaboration feature that\u2019s available right within AutoCAD. The Shared Views<\/a> feature has been included since the 2019 release, and you can use it to collaborate online with the people you’re working with. A shared view<\/a> provides a fast, accurate, yet simple way to share your design with whomever you like\u2014all without having to create an electronic version or compromising your .dwg file.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Creating a Shared View<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

There are a couple of ways to get started with Shared Views in AutoCAD, and they\u2019re both as easy as one, two, three. You can click on the Application menu (the big, red A) and, then from Publish, select Share View. You can also open the Shared Views palette, which is found in the Collaborate tab of the Ribbon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Shared<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\n
\n

From there, you\u2019ll be presented with a dialog box that lets you define some parameters about your share. Give it a name or accept the default. Choose between sharing a \u201csnapshot\u201d of the current view or the model and all layout views.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n
\"Share<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\n
\n

Click \u201cShare\u201d and AutoCAD will tell you it\u2019s about to process the view in the background. Just click Proceed to dismiss the message. You should see an animated icon at the far-right side of the status bar indicating that it\u2019s in progress. Go ahead and continue your work, as AutoCAD will tell you when the view is complete with a notification bubble.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n
\"Share<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Sharing and Collaborating<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

So, you\u2019ve generated your view\u2026 now what? You can click on the View in Browser link in the notification bubble to see it in your default web browser. You\u2019ll also get an email with a sharable link. Just send that link to whomever you want to share it. Use your favorite messaging system or just use email. The choice is yours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When they get your link, they will open it using the Autodesk Viewer<\/a> in their browser. There they can not only view and move around in your file, but also measure, comment, and mark up the design. They can share their feedback with you, and then you can access that feedback right from within your AutoCAD session.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some Final Thoughts<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\n
\n

Each view you create has an initial shelf life of 30 days, but you can extend it if you want. In fact, managing all aspects of your Shared Views can be done via the Shared Views palette. Each view you\u2019ve created will be listed, complete with a thumbnail and an ellipsis that will display various options when clicked.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n
\"Shared<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s about it. Pretty easy, I\u2019d say. No screen sharing sessions needed. No generating DWFs or PDFs and then going through uploading them somewhere, letting your remote team know, having them download them\u2026 nope. With five mouse clicks (three to get there, and two to make the view\u2014accepting the defaults), you\u2019ll simply have a link to share with whomever you need. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, the next time you need to collaborate with a colleague, give Shared Views in AutoCAD a try. It might just be the easiest change you make during this crazy year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
