Seamless collaboration built in, not bolted on.

With AutoCAD, collaboration often involves sharing large files, emails, or cloud storage links. Rayon offers real-time collaboration out of the box. You and your team can work on the same design simultaneously, view live changes, and add comments directly within the platform. No need for third-party tools or version confusion.
