Imagine walking a design site before it’s ever built, with grading, buildings, and utilities unfolding around you in full context. Immersive Digital Workplaces make that possible, turning project models into shared experiences that improve communication and bring teams into alignment before construction begins. In this fast-paced, high-level session, three voices from civil design, immersive technology, and construction will share insights from the field. Rather than a technical deep dive, this session offers a big-picture look at how immersive Digital Workplaces are bridging disciplines, reducing errors, and clarifying complex data throughout the project lifecycle. When stakeholders can visualize a design in its environment, they are empowered to make faster, more confident decisions. Join us to explore how immersive workflows support better outcomes from concept through construction.

One of the biggest challenges in is getting disciplines to work together, sharing data and information in real time. Whether technical, organizational, or cultural, silos slow progress, create inefficiencies, and keep teams from reaching their full potential. This panel brings together industry leaders who are actively climbing that mountain. Through candid conversation, they’ll share real-world struggles, setbacks, and the steps they’re taking to reach higher ground. Expect honest insights, bold ideas, and practical strategies to break down barriers, improve communication, and build stronger, more connected teams. If you’re navigating the uphill journey of , this session is your chance to pause, gain perspective, and gather the tools needed to keep moving forward together.

This class will provide a sneak peek into what's coming in future releases of AutoCAD software. We'll explore what the AutoCAD Team is working on and how will it help your teams.

BIM and terrestrial laser scanning have been well received within construction for the unparalleled accuracy delivered during the planning and development process. For VDC and BIM managers, the ability to accurately plan projects to scale, time and budget is just one of many benefits. Having the ability to compare the scanned as-built to BIM models doesn’t only prove its worth in the initial planning stages of a build, but also in quality assurance throughout a project’s lifespan. Cintoo has embedded its unique point cloud-to-mesh technology into Cintoo Cloud, a platform connected to BIM 360, to allow this QA/QC workflow. Learn from current Cintoo Cloud and BIM 360 users who has been successfully using this collaborative workflow on various jobs recently for a more efficient project coordination. Learn how Cintoo Cloud can also provide access to laser scan data in mesh or point cloud format to team members at home or at the office for efficient Scan & BIM modeling or clash detection.

We have been dimensioning the same way in AutoCAD software for what seems like 100 years. Now you can finally reduce steps and accelerate your dimensioning with AutoCAD software’s new and improved dimensioning tools. Instead of using different commands to create different types of dimensions, you will learn how the multipurpose DIM command anticipates the type of dimensions you want to create, eliminating steps and making you more productive than ever before. Discover how to create associative centerlines and centermarks that automatically adjust as you make changes to your drawings. You will also learn how to automatically place dimensions on the proper layer. As Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr., said, “A mind that is stretched by a new experience can never go back to its old dimensions.” This session features AutoCAD and AutoCAD LT. AIA Approved

Learn how AutoCAD 2016 software can help you work more efficiently by taking advantage of new and enhanced functionality. Many of the updates to AutoCAD 2016 software functionality were based on Autodesk User Group International (AUGI) wish-list requests. Some are subtle and could be easily overlooked, but all are timesavers that are worth discovering. In this session you will explore enhancements to the AutoCAD software user interface, powerful dimensioning and revision cloud updates, new and enhanced support for 3D modeling, and handy tools to improve security and reduce frustration when working with custom apps.

Object selection is one of the most common AutoCAD tasks. We are all familiar with the common object selection methods: Pick, Window, Last, Previous, QSelect, and so on. But there is a powerful command in AutoCAD software that often goes unnoticed, unknown, and unused: FILTER. This class is a close-up look at the Filter command, and we’ll explore its features and uses. We’ll demonstrate the power and variety of Filter, how to filter out multiple object properties (including Boolean operators), and how to save and reuse named filters, and we’ll illustrate techniques for users to become more effective and efficient with object selection. This class is for all AutoCAD users, from novice to expert.

When it comes to CAD, "plotting" refers to everything around printing and page setup, while "publishing" refers to electronic output. These techniques are intertwined in AutoCAD software. The goal of both is to clearly communicate design intent to the contractors, architects, and engineers involved in the project. Watch this course to learn how to plot and publish your own drawings effectively, using the appropriate tools and settings within AutoCAD 2016 software. We will cover scaling views, customizing page setups for layouts, and assigning plot styles to change the appearance of your drawings when they go to plot or publish. You will learn how to adjust individual settings in the Plot and Publish dialogs so you end up with smart, readable printouts, DWFs, and PDFs. This session features AutoCAD, AutoCAD LT, and AutoCAD for Mac. AIA Approved

There are powerful ways to improve your architecture, construction, and engineering workflows with 3D visualization. Discover how high-resolution aerial content, 3D, and AI from Nearmap can be used to solve specific and common challenges for Autodesk users to improve the quality of AEC designs and proposals. You’ll learn 5 ways to elevate your projects through terrain data, high-resolution imagery, textured mesh, point cloud, and building footprints derived from AI. We’ll cover the ins and outs of pulling Nearmap content into InfraWorks and various tools to make your proposal stand out. Set yourself up for success with proper integration between Nearmap, InfraWorks, and Autodesk Connector for ArcGIS, create common workflows and get relevant data in all the right places - for basemaps, digital twins, contours and topography, terrain themes, flood simulations, immersive conceptual design, and 3D visualization.
