Working off line
AutoCAD WS lets you save any of the DWG files in your online account locally onto your iPad, iPhone or iPod touch so that you can continue working with them even when you are not connected to the internet.
See the Tutorials.
In fact, by default, when using your iPad AutoCAD WS will download all the files you have in your online account to make them available offline. So try turning off Wi-Fi link on your iPad and then start the App and you should find your Electrical Diagram is there.
On my PC, AutoCAD WS did not download any drawings by default. But, if you click on the Drawings page then highlight the drawing, click Download and you can download the cloud drawing to your PC in any folder you want. It will ask you what AutoCAD version to save-as. If you have AutoCAD on your PC pick the version you have or earlier. If you don't have AutoCAD, pick the latest.

Thanks Tony, you were right, with wifi turned off it is clear that the drawing is there on the iPad. Now I need to learn how to read and understand it. slane

Secret Decoder Ring
The lower left legend includes a secret decoder ring which is quite helpful.

So THAT is my problem. I have not been able to open or view the file, now I see it is because I lost my secret decoder ring.

Sure. The Van's download is just the the .dwg file. Kind of like getting a .doc or .pdf. You just need the viewer for that format. You can get the Android version here:

Not easy to use....
It's nice that Van's decided to honor all the past requests for a wiring diagram. Maybe I am missing something, but I find it very difficult to use, because of limited screen size and resolution. If I get the diagram large enough to read, then I lose track of where I am on the big picture. Seems like you almost need a huge monitor, or a plotter, to make practical use of the diagram. Certainly way better than nothing, but a bit of a pain to use.

Print Acad Drawing
Has anyone found a print service on line that can print a color D size drawing on paper. I found one that will print on Photo Paper for $50.00 in color. Paper would be less costly.

AUTOCAD!?!!
I am dumbfounded (nice word). AutoCad has its painfully visible roots in DOS!
The UI reminds me of 1987. I refuse to even figure out how to convert that file to a PDF. What arrogance! I'm insulted and will take my $40,000 to the E-AB route. The UL260 is looking mighty good right now. Or even a used Corvair...anything but deal with AutoCad files.
