  Autodesk Alias Design - From the Beginning
  October 8, 2009, 09:48 AM Chris Hall

  We recently added a downloadable trial version of Autodesk Alias Design.  With this trial becoming available I thought it was important to create a video series on Autodesk Alias Design that focused on the foundations of using Autodesk Alias Design.  There will be mulitple lesson's that each have a set of supporting videos that help create a foundation for using the software.  I hope these videos help you in developing a solid foundation with Autodesk Alias Design.

  Download Trial Link:

  These first 3 videos focus on the interface of Autodesk Alias Design. 

  Lesson1 - Part 1 - This video focuses on what the interface looks like when you first install the software.  We will make some modifications to the interface to improve your initial user experience.

  Lesson 1 - Part 2 - This video focuses on navigating the Autodesk Alias Design Interface. 

  Here is a tip image on Navigation to help with Lesson 1 - Part 2

  

  Lesson 1 - Part 3 - This video focuses on working with the perspective and orthographic windows.  We look at options such as maximizing your current view window as well as using hot keys to control your current view window.

  You can download the files used in Lesson 1 from this link:
