How to Install and Sync Projects with the Desktop App

The CAD ROOMS Desktop App bridges your local design environment with your cloud workspace — enabling engineers to sync updates, manage projects, and collaborate directly from their desktop tools.

How to Install the Desktop App for Windows

1. Download the Installer

Visit the official CAD ROOMS Download Page (coming soon).

Click Download, to prompt the following file to be downloaded: CAD_ROOMS_0.1.0_x64-setup.exe

Save the installer file to your preferred location.

2. Run the Installer

Locate the downloaded setup file and double-click to start installation.

You’ll see the Welcome to CAD ROOMS Setup window. Click Next to continue.

Select Add/Reinstall components, then click Next.

Select your preferred destination folder and click Next again to complete the installation.

✅ Done!

Your desktop app is now installed and ready to connect to your CAD ROOMS workspace. After installation, launch the app and log in using your CAD ROOMS credentials.
With this step, you can start syncing your projects and settings.

3. Sign In

Open the CAD ROOMS Desktop App.

Log in using your CAD ROOMS account — a browser window will open automatically.

Once you sign in through the browser, you’ll be automatically logged in to the Desktop App.

If you haven’t created an account yet, you will be able to do so through the this process as well.

Syncing Projects to Your Device

After installation and sign-in, you can now connect your cloud projects to your local workspace.

Launch the CAD ROOMS Desktop App.

In your system tray (bottom-right corner of your screen), click the CAD ROOMS icon.

From the list of Workspaces and Projects, locate the project you want to open.

Select Open — this will take you directly to the project’s local folder on your computer.

How Sync Works

The CAD ROOMS Desktop App continuously monitors your connected projects and keeps them in sync with your cloud workspace.

Online: Sync happens automatically in real time — all changes are uploaded and downloaded instantly.

Offline: The app tracks any local edits and automatically uploads them once you reconnect.

Two-way Sync: Updates made in the cloud are automatically pulled to your local folder, keeping everything up to date.

🔁 No manual uploads or downloads — everything runs quietly in the background.

⚠️ Important: When you log out of the Desktop App, all locally synced project data will be removed from your device for security reasons.

After you log back in, the app will automatically re-sync your projects from the cloud — restoring your workspace exactly as before.

✅ You’re All Set!

You can now:

Sync your projects and CAD files between your desktop and the cloud

Access your work offline and sync automatically when reconnected

Collaborate seamlessly with your engineering team in real time

Updating the App

When a new version is released, you’ll receive an automatic update notification within the Desktop App. Simply follow the on-screen instructions to install the latest version and enjoy new features and improvements.
