Design Feed
The Design Feed palette provides a way of adding messages and images to a
drawing, which you can then share with colleagues, clients, and consultants
online through Autodesk 360. The Design Feed posts are available in a
drawing whether you access them on the desktop, on the web, or with a
mobile device.
As an alternative to storing drawing files in your Autodesk 360 account,
AutoCAD 2015 enables you to store them locally on your computer’s hard
drive. In this case, the Design Feed data for these drawings are still stored
in Autodesk 360, but the association to the Design Feed data is maintained
by a unique Design Feed ID, which is saved in the drawing. If your company
uses a network, it might be more convenient to manage your drawing files
through a server rather than through individual computers. In this case,
anyone with an Autodesk 360 account and who has access to the server can
access the Design Feed associated with each drawing. Unlike saving drawings
in your Autodesk 360 account, authorized access to the drawings is maaged
only by the permissions set by the server.
Open the Design Feed palette from the Autodesk 360 Ribbon tab.
