A surveyors perspective – AutoCAD Review

I use this app continuously throughout out the day. I have the app loaded on an iPad mini which I carry in my front vest pocket with my field book. Fits great there. Here is my problem with the app: Construction surveyors work with coordinates continually throughout the day. Due to the limitations of this mobile version points and point files need to be generated on a pc version of cad. A wblock of this pc version is uploaded to the cloud and a coordinate text file is exported to a thumb drive to import to the field devices. So all “presurvey ” work needs to be done on a pc. So in essence the mobile version becomes just a VIEWER. I understand that with snap mode turned on coordinate values can be read directly from the mobile version but it is not practical (nor wise) to hand punch dozens or hundreds of points. It would be much quicker and less error prone to create a point node directly in the mobile version then have the ability to export these nodes to a text file. I would not think this would be hard to add to the code. A construction surveyors 2-cents.
