So AutoCAD WS is a free install for iPhone and iPad. That's neat.

DropBox is a free install as well, which ports drawings between your mobile devices and your PC. That's neat.

AutoCAD WS can load drawings from DropBox. That's neat.

Here's the question -

I've got an iPhone right now, about to get an iPad, but I'd rather not shell out the extra cash for a 64G one if I don't need it. When loading drawings out of Dropbox, is AutoCAD WS loading them from the cloud (over wifi) or is it loading them from local storage? Effectively, will the extra memory mean anything to me if I'm pulling drawings up on the iPad between meetings?

Any files you put on dropbox are synced to any regular computer. But with smart phones/ipads, etc.. those files are only downloaded when you click on it.
 
Don't forget Autocad WS is now available for Android too. Thinking removable Micro SD Cards.
