I have a friend who is VP of the Electrical Division of a fairly large
building contractor. He asked me to find him a way to make changes to

But thats a kludge because someone has to convert the little section of
the drawing to a PDF. There are a number of programs that will allow you

lining/annotation. I also do that on a small tablet that has quite a bit
more screen area than (which isn't a bad thing) those little tablets and
is still quite portable.

Considering the recommended hardware to run Autocad -- at work, we sold a
computer spec'd specifically to run AutoCAD 2007
-- I'm surprised you're able
to do ANYTHING with a DWG on a WinMo device.
