Autodesk has released new versions of its software portfolio, including more than 25 products that help its customers create, manage and share digital assets most effectively, to compete and win.
Autodesk has released new versions of its software portfolio, including more than 25 products that help its customers create, manage and share digital assets most effectively, to compete and win.
These products provide best-in-class solutions for 2D design, basic conceptual design to advanced 3D modelling, animation, visualisation, data management and collaboration.
With across-the-board focus on productivity improvements, the latest suite of products and solutions enable customers in the manufacturing, building, infrastructure and media and entertainment industries to turn ideas into reality faster than ever before.
Autodesk is introducing innovative, industry-specific solutions that surpass all competitive offerings.
In addition, the company is releasing the 20th version of AutoCAD, the de facto standard in 2D design and drafting for engineers and designers.
"The Autodesk 2006 suite of products offers quick implementation and ease of use, enabling our customers to realise new efficiencies quickly and enjoy a fast return on investment", said Carol Bartz, Chairman, President and CEO of Autodesk.
"Delivering the strongest product portfolio in our company's history is no small order, so I'd like to personally thank all of the product teams who have continued to execute flawlessly in helping our customers realise ideas for competitive advantage".
Autodesk's major new product releases include: Autodesk Inventor 10; Autodesk Civil 3D 2006; Autodesk Map 3D 2006; Autodesk Revit Building 8; AutoCAD 2006; Autodesk Buzzsaw service; and Autodesk DWF Composer and DWF Viewer.
Autodesk's approach to product design is simple: help customers realise their ideas - and realise them quickly and easily.
More than simply creating programs that run faster and take maximum advantage of advancements in computing, Autodesk works closely with its community to understand how they work.
As a result of this collaboration, all of Autodesk's new products save time by reducing the number of steps in a given task or by making a process more intuitive.
Whether being used to design a skyscraper, a bridge, a complex manufacturing machine, or a tiny consumer product, Autodesk's design solutions are purpose-built for their users.
Since the first release of AutoCAD brought professional computerised design tools to the desktops of PC users, AutoCAD has been the industry standard.
A constant stream of innovations has created a product with additional features and functions that make drafters and designers more productive and more efficient, while enabling them to share design data easily with others in the design process.
That effort has culminated in the release of AutoCAD 2006, the 20th release of the program, which incorporates improvements to its interface for easier data input; annotation enhancements that speed changes to text, hatching and table calculations; and single-click conversion to Autodesk DWF format, allowing instant sharing of designs and related information with anyone through a free downloadable reader.
