Mobile Sketching
October 26, 2009 11:37 AMby Garin Gardiner
Those of you that have an iPhone of iPod Touch may have enjoyed a previous post concerning the new SketchBook Mobile application available on iTunes. I received an email last week from one of our tech guys concerning a YouTube video he put together to show how you can use it with the Mobile SketchBook application. I thought it was very interesting workflow and wondered if any of you found this type of workflow useful.
Take a look at this video and think of ways you might be able to use it.

Autodesk Subscription Advantage Pack for Inventor 2010 is here!
October 16, 2009 12:18 PMby Garin Gardiner
The Autodesk Subscription Advantage Pack for Inventor® 2010 is now available in English with more languages to follow shortly. This set of enhancements offer new productivity tools, improved support for architectural fabrication, and easier-to-use simulation capabilities.
New and improved tools simplify common tasks, such as dimensioning, inserting blocks, and multi-view creation, helping to boost everyday productivity. With more architecturally relevant content, annotations, and drawing options for designing architectural elements, Subscription customers can more easily share designs and documentation with clients and suppliers in the architectural, engineering, and construction industries.
In addition, the powerful simulation tools in Autodesk® Inventor® software have been enhanced to make it easier for users create and validate multiple design iterations. Simulation scenario setups have been streamlined, and the visual feedback and simulation results are now clearer and more customizable.
If you have an active subscription account, head over to the Subscription Center and pull down the Advantage Pack for Inventor 2010.
To see it in action, check out the YouTube video of our own infomercial king (Rob Cohee).

June 24, 2009 11:12 PMby Garin Gardiner
Today Inventor Fusion was announced and available for download on Autodesk Labs. Many of you have been following Inventor Fusion and have asked when you could get your hands on it. Well the time is now and we are excited to hear from you once you get a chance to drive it around the block.
For those of you that aren't familiar with Inventor Fusion, it is technology to showcase our direct model manipulation that allows you to easily create and edit 3D models. You can directly model components in Inventor Fusion or import models to be able to directly modify them. It is definitely work a look so head on over to Autodesk Labs to give it a try.
Take a look what others are saying.

Finding what you need
May 22, 2009 06:11 PMby Garin GardinerThere have been several things done to Inventor 2010 to make it easier for you to find what you need. If you are on subscription, there is a key at the top right of the screen that will get you directly into the Subscription Center. This is full of training material, downloads and several other things that might be of use to you.
The first time you click on the Subscription Center icon you will need to create an account which entails entering in your contract number that you received when you purchased Inventor Subscription.
Once you have entered in the contract number you will be able to navigate to the Subscription Center site any time you want right from Inventor.
Another great item is the Communication Center icon (satellite). From here you can see the latest tips, tricks and news from all the Autodesk Manufacturing blogs as well as add your own that can be viewed right from Inventor. This is a great way to see if we have added any new tips recently.
Don't forget about the Search tool! This is a great new addition for Inventor 2010. You can enter in something you are trying to learn about and it will search Inventor's main help itemsas well as Autodesk online. You can even specify other areas on your computer that you would like to searchas well.
Enjoy the weekend!
