Is Cloud Technology the Future of CAD Software?
Modern design is no longer a process carried out by individual specialists in closed offices. In industries such as architecture, landscape design, and construction, mobility and the ability to collaborate efficiently—with both teams and clients—are becoming key.
Modern technologies are transforming the traditional work model, enabling smoother and more efficient real-time project management. Cloud technology is gaining more recognition and remains a unique solution in the CAD software industry. One of the few solutions offering cloud-based work is GstarCAD 365.
A tool that will change teamwork?
The latest service from the well-known CAD program takes full advantage of cloud technology in this regard. It enables designers to simultaneously view and edit the same files in real time, regardless of their location—requiring only internet access and any device.
Real-time synchronization allows for instant idea sharing and project adjustments. Once data is synced, any changes made by a particular user are immediately visible to all team members. Additionally, collaborators can leave text comments or voice recordings, facilitating communication and reducing the risk of misunderstandings that may arise during the design phase.
Is it safe to store files in the cloud?
When answering the question: how to effectively share projects in real time, we cannot ignore a very important aspect—data security. It’s important to emphasize that the ability for multiple users to view and edit the same file doesn’t mean unauthorized people have open access to every created project. Access must be granted to view or edit a project.
So, how can you ensure your projects are fully secure? For this purpose, GstarCAD 365 offers the option to encrypt files, which significantly reduces the risk of third-party tampering. Furthermore, the software automatically notifies the project owner of every edit made, ensuring complete control over the creation, modification, and deletion of drawings.
Storing projects in the cloud also has other advantages—among them, no more need to send large files via email or external file transfer services. This makes project sharing with clients or team members quick and convenient and is not limited to one service—GstarCAD 365. Simply share a link to the file, and all users with the appropriate permissions can access it instantly.
A Step Towards a Better Future
Using cloud technology is a huge step forward in terms of teamwork across various design industries. The ability to work on a file simultaneously, quickly add notes and comments to drawings, is a huge benefit for any team. In the era of mobility and remote collaboration, comprehensive solutions that enable smooth, efficient, and secure project management at every stage are extremely valuable.
