I read in an article that AutoCAD WS does not have much to do with AutoCAD so it is only the name but it is not like an iPhone version of the full-fledged program.
The naming is a bit misleading in this regard.

As a start, even if it only as a viewer. Would be great to have Virtual Building Explorer be able to export to iPad/iPhone

Putting AC on iPad is a cute kind of story - IMHO the developer is struggling to keep on top of what they have let alone add further to an overstretched team. Keep working on the core software I say - or it won't be relevant much longer.
We are wasting so much time on bugs and work arounds it is shaking my trust in the program to the core.

Point taken - The core software must be robust. I believe that the iPad and other tablets have the potential of changing how we work (I know that every year for the past few years have been when tablets are meant to take off 🙂

GS needs to be aware and ready to take maximum advantage before someone else does.
