We have some questions about using Apricon C3 mobile and particularly about the options available to manage files with the iPad.
The purpose of this article is to describe the way I combine Apricon and iPad.

I start Safari and log on to Apricon in the usual way, as when I use my computer. And as with my PC do I need software to be able to manage the files in your projects. In iPad, I must have apps that can read the file format I want to work with.

AutoCAD WS, I have to open, edit, and save DWG files. Files can be saved locally in its edited form.

BOS 360 Glue to make corresponding with NWD files (Navisworks). However, you cannot save the files with changes to make.
A common feature of DWG and NWD is that if I open them from Apricon, I get a new tab in Safari where I be given the choice to either open directly into each app or other app. By selecting other app I get the option to save the file locally with the FileBrowser.

Filebrowser do I use to save files locally and access the file system in the iPad. With the app you can also access other computers, for example, to open files that are located on your company’s server or saving files from iPad to servers/computers.

PDF and Office files (Word and Excel) opens in new tab with Safari’s built-in support. The opened file, you can point to in order to get options to open (and save) it in FileBrowser or open with other app (such as Adobe Reader for PDF files).

I want to save multiple files at once to my iPad works sort of like in typical computing environment. I get a ZIP file to unpack with FileBrowser wherein a folder structure is created locally on the basis of the properties files are in Apricon.

A useful feature is to create summary-PDF by using the “print function”. By selecting multiple PDF files in Apricon and choosing the function print is created a PDF file of the selected documents. It can then save locally, or send to a printer.

It was a bit on how to open and save files from Apricon.
When it comes to saving to Apricon from his iPad is more limited. Images can be saved from iPad to Apricon, this is done with the function Save single in Apricon.

Other features of Apricon works well. For example, you can create packages, send message, manage your contact list, change the properties on your documents, etc. The project task management it is possible to work with it in the iPad. If you are an administrator, you can invite/delete users, manage rights, edit the project home page, etc.
