Tablets are great for consumption, less so for creation, especially heavy graphics work. They have to be or everyone would complain about how slow everything works. There are some very good reasons why 'apps' are so basic and simplistic. A little lag, but otherwise, full pc capabilities. That way there are far fewer compromises. I get around this by remoting my pc to my tablet. The super hi res screens are also a hindrance to speed, it's a lot of pixels to push. They simply do not have the horsepower to work complex 3d CAD. Some lighter-weight aspects could work, others would crush a tablet. Realistically I can't see how anything much could be acomplished on an ipad type tablet as the cpu and RAM levels are pretty minimal for any type of CAD work.

Would you expect to be able to edit designs? Would you expect full capability? What would be the purpose (collaboration, concept, detail engineering?) What kinds of things would you like to do. We have an app available for IOS and Android that lets you view, comment and a number of other things allowing you to work with a team and view/share progress.Īll that said I would like to hear your ideas on how you would use a tablet to work with Fusion. I am sure over time this will get better as the Internet gets faster but today we do this local.

We have the technology to solve it in the cloud but the latency makes it a bit annoying as it isn't a 1:1 drag/solve like you get local. That means when you edit a fillet or extrusion by dragging it, it is being solved on your computer. In Fusion 360 we do some things local on your computer and we do some things in the Cloud.ĭue to Internet latency we do all model computes local on the system. Our goal is to use whatever technology makes a given task better.
