Overview

Project Butterfly is an Autodesk Technology Preview that enables AutoCAD® users to edit and collaborate on AutoCAD drawings through a Web browser. With Project Butterfly, AutoCAD users can share and work on DWGTM files with colleagues and clients from any computer with an Internet connection.

  • Share drawings with other people. View and edit DWGs without downloading any software, using just a Web browser.

  • Invite your project team to an online meeting where all sides can discuss and co-edit a drawing in real-time. Or browse through comments and changes on your own time.

  • Use Project Butterfly to collaborate with colleagues and clients. Anyone can access Project Butterfly, even if they don't have AutoCAD installed, and even if they don’t have a Project Butterfly account.

When working with drawings using Project Butterfly, you can use your Autodesk Single Sign-on account. This account is common to communities such as Autodesk Labs, Subscription Center, etc. If you have an existing Project-Butterfly-specific account, you may continue to use that.

Project Butterfly always presents the dialog on the right; however, your Autodesk Single Sign-on User ID can be used in place of Email along with its corresponding password.

If you do not have YouTube access, you can download the videos from this blog article.
