Some time ago I looked into Project Draw, our first foray into diagramming on the web. Today we released – again on Autodesk Labs – our next-generation, web-based CAD tool…
You may have heard of Dragonfly, and possibly even Firefly, well now it’s time to meet Butterfly. [This makes me think of “When I see an elephant fly”, the song from Dumbo, which happens to have been the first movie I ever saw at the cinema (not that I remember the event itself).]
For more information on Project Butterfly, check out the announcement on Scott’s blog. Of particular interest is this technology’s ability both to import DWG from and export it to your desktop (assuming you don’t want to just leave the data in the cloud).
I’ll be looking into Project Butterfly with great interest over the coming months – especially understanding its potential from an extensibility perspective – and recommend you take a few minutes to take a look and tell us what you think (and want!).
Update
I’ve just found out about the Project Butterfly YouTube channel, in case anyone’s interested in watching some video content on this technology.
