Both Android and iOS have continued to bring parity to mobile with every release making mobile a first class citizen of CAD.  Our teams here are always rethinking the way to approach common CAD workflows to fit on smaller, touch-based devices.  

Both updates are available for download from either the Apple App Store or Google Play now so hit UPDATE and let us know what you think!  ~Lou
