Design engineers get image conscious
Richard Blatcher of Autodesk says visualisation needn't be a luxury.
Autodesk Impression now makes it easier than ever to create great-looking presentation graphics, equipping users with the tools necessary to help their clients experience ideas in the early stages, explore alternatives and arrive at solutions with minimal time and expense.
"Whether a project is local or based in the European Union, Autodesk users need the tools to make complex design ideas easy to grasp for customers and partners who may be in-country or abroad", said Amar Hanspal, Senior Vice President, Platform Solutions and Emerging Business, Autodesk.
"We developed Autodesk Impression so that our customers can produce high-impact, intuitive presentation graphics without extra work - and focus on the design challenge itself".
After opening a DWG or DWF file in Impression, users can add everything from distinctive line types to textured colour fills, using pre-built or custom appearance styles.
Libraries of styles can be saved and re-used, allowing users to generate looks for their work while saving time.
Because Impression understands CAD data, users can take advantage of the power of layers and blocks when creating their images.
"Autodesk Impression is a tremendous time saver".
"I can now do work myself that I used to have to ask someone else in my office to do", said Jeremy Noftle of Focus Architecture Incorporated.
"It took me only a few minutes to get up and running; and within a couple of hours I had my first image complete".
"To produce this level of quality in other applications would have taken much longer". Request a free brochure from Autodesk ...
