Unleash the possibilities of cloud-based generative design
Unleash the possibilities of cloud-based generative design
With Autodesk Fusion cloud software, you can use iterative and generative design processes wherever you are. Generative design allows you to input goals, parameters, and constraints into the software and let the computer do the work of finding new and innovative solutions. Because the CAD software is cloud-based, the remote server carries the workload, leaving you free to use your computer for other tasks.

Frequently asked questions (FAQ) about cloud-based online CAD software
What is cloud-based online CAD software?
Cloud-based online CAD software lets you access CAD tools through a web browser or mobile app instead of installing software on your computer. It uses cloud-connected technologies to help you access drawings, collaborate with teams, and work across desktop, web, and mobile devices. Autodesk AutoCAD Web extends these workflows by providing online access to DWG files. For cloud-based product design and manufacturing workflows, Autodesk Fusion also provides browser-based CAD capabilities.
What are the benefits of cloud-based online CAD software?
Cloud-based online CAD software helps improve flexibility, productivity, and collaboration by giving you access to drawings from virtually anywhere. Teams can stay aligned on the latest designs, reduce manual file sharing, and streamline review and revision workflows across desktop, web, and mobile.
Who uses cloud-based online CAD software?
Cloud-based online CAD software is used by architects, engineers, construction professionals, designers, drafters, and project teams who need flexible access to CAD drawings. It supports office, remote, and job site work by helping teams stay connected and collaborate throughout the design process.
Which Autodesk products support cloud-based online CAD?
Autodesk offers several products that support cloud-based online CAD workflows. Autodesk AutoCAD includes AutoCAD Web, allowing you to view, edit, and share DWG drawings through a web browser or mobile device as part of your subscription. Autodesk also offers Fusion, a cloud-connected platform for product design and manufacturing. Explore Autodesk's cloud-based CAD solutions to find the right software for your workflow, industry, and project needs.
Can I use cloud-based online CAD software without installing software?
Yes. Cloud-based online CAD software lets you access CAD tools through a supported web browser without installing desktop software. With Autodesk Fusion or AutoCAD Web, simply sign in with your Autodesk account to open drawings, review designs, and make updates from virtually anywhere.
Can multiple people work on the same CAD drawing online?
Yes, cloud-based CAD workflows make it easier for teams to collaborate on shared drawings. Autodesk AutoCAD Web lets you share DWG files, review markups, and keep everyone working from the latest version of a drawing. This helps architects, engineers, and construction teams coordinate designs more efficiently and reduce version conflicts. Autodesk Fusion extends these cloud-based collaboration capabilities to product development workflows, helping connect design, engineering, and manufacturing teams.
What is the difference between cloud-based online CAD software and desktop CAD software?
Cloud-based online CAD software runs through a web browser or mobile app, giving you flexible access to drawings from virtually anywhere and making it easier to collaborate across teams and devices. Desktop CAD software is installed locally on your computer and can provide offline access and specialized capabilities depending on the product. Autodesk offers both desktop and cloud-based CAD solutions, including AutoCAD and Autodesk Fusion, so teams can choose the workflows that best fit their design needs. Many professionals use both together to balance flexibility, performance, and collaboration.
Can I switch between AutoCAD desktop and AutoCAD Web?
Yes, you can switch between AutoCAD desktop and AutoCAD Web as your work requires. With an AutoCAD subscription, you can access your drawings across desktop, web, and mobile using your Autodesk account. Start a project in AutoCAD desktop, then view, edit, review, or share your DWG files in AutoCAD Web when you're away from your computer. This gives you the flexibility to work from the office, home, or job site while keeping your designs up to date.
Is cloud-based CAD software secure?
Autodesk cloud-based CAD solutions include security features designed to help protect your design data. User authentication, managed cloud services, and access controls help you manage who can view and collaborate on your drawings while supporting secure, connected workflows. Autodesk designs its cloud services with security practices such as identity and access management, encryption, secure infrastructure, and ongoing security assessments to help safeguard customer data. For more information, visit the Autodesk Trust Center or explore Autodesk's Security Framework.
Can students and educators access cloud-based Autodesk CAD software for free?
Yes, eligible students and educators can access Autodesk software at no cost for educational use through the Autodesk Education plan. This includes Autodesk Fusion, a cloud-connected platform for product design and manufacturing. Students can use Fusion to build CAD skills, collaborate on projects, and explore real-world design and engineering workflows.
