Autodesk products, in particular the entertainment creation suites, offer an opportunity to reinvent learning in language arts, social studies, and other core academic classes. By using a game or movie development approach to core subject learning, you can motivate your students to learn with the use of tools such as Autodesk® 3ds Max®, Autodesk Maya®, and other software products. The variety of Autodesk products, combined with the general principles that have already seen amazing classroom success, could reignite a passion for learning in so many students and schools. You can be part of the solution, as a mentor or teacher or business.

As the challenges we face become more complex, visual thinking is emerging as an effective strategy to help us solve them. Visual notes, or sketchnotes, help us make better decisions faster, help us communicate our decisions more effectively, and help our teams better execute those decisions. At this workshop, learn what sketchnotes are and how to use them. Using the process of sketchnotes, you will learn how to combine imagery and words together to make information more interesting and create a compelling piece to help drive innovation forward. You will also leave this class with practicing tips to further develop the sketchnotes technique independently.

Bayer AG decided to switch from local licensing based on disparate subscription contracts to a global, centralized approach with flexible licensing and Enterprise Priority Support from Autodesk, Inc. What were the reasons? Where are the benefits? Why does this decision make sense for international operating companies with a variety of products in use? This class describes the process of introducing the Enterprise Flexible Licensing Program at Bayer with an internal view on the challenges and the most effective practices that the company implemented to optimize and grow utilization of Autodesk technologies across multiple global locations. You will learn how Autodesk established the infrastructure to form a worldwide support structure for the Bayer users, from on-boarding user education sessions to in-house events. Dedicated personnel at both Bayer and Autodesk are vigilant in seeing that management and users in the different legal entities have knowledge of the program and support infrastructure.

Selling complex and customized equipment is challenging at best, and creating a compelling bid package is critical to winning more business. This class will show how to use Factory Design Suite software to accelerate the creation of a build proposal, how to create compelling content, and how to create a bill of equipment required for costing the proposal.

Do you reuse most or all of your previous designs for every new customer order? Do you want your salespeople and/or your customers to be able to easily configure design orders and be confident that the configurations are valid? If so, join us in this class as we discuss how Autodesk Inventor Engineer-to-Order (ETO) software delivers easy-to-use web and mobile interfaces for configuring products. You will also learn how Inventor ETO enables easy reuse and management of CAD data in the back-end database.

How do you deploy Configurator 360 software in a professional/commercial environment? The great technology from Configurator 360 software embeds effectively into your own company's website and integrates configuration and quoting into your company's business processes. New capabilities introduced this year make Configurator 360 software suitable to be a key component that can help your company to better serve its customers. In this class you will discover how to integrate Configurator 360 software's configuration and quoting capabilities into your own website, and you'll see how to use Configurator 360 software in conjunction with Autodesk PLM 360 software to track leads. You will also learn how to respond with custom quotes and lead into other downstream engineering, sales, and financial operations.

This class will show how we used the AutoCAD OEM CAD platform to create a mobile application that will enable users to process point clouds and create precise, detailed, and fully textured 3D models in the field. The discussion will explore how to exploit a Windows Surface Pro tablet's touch-based inputs through the use of a stylus and finger gestures. In particular, we will also demonstrate how to map traditional AutoCAD software commands onto the stylus controls. Due to a lack of real estate on tablet devices, creating an uncluttered, simple user interface is paramount to creating a successful commercial tablet application. Using the AutoCAD OEM platform, we will show how to reduce the amount of exposed functionality thus exposing only a few essential commands to the user via a clean, uncluttered interface. Lastly, we will demonstrate how to package the application with only the relevant menus, icons, and splash screens to create a finished commercial application that has a small install footprint suitable for a tablet platform.

Mobile computing has become more commonplace. In this class, we will take a look at how tablets, particularly the Apple iPad mobile device, can occupy a spot in your briefcase. In this class, we will discuss both Autodesk® apps, such as AutoCAD® WS, Autodesk® Buzzsaw®, and Autodesk® Inventor® Publisher, and other third-party apps, such as PDF readers, word processors, and sketching programs. We will also touch on some cloud-based storage solutions, like Egnyte® and Dropbox™, as well as web-based apps like Google Docs™. This class will cover the basics of the different models, as well as basic operations like mail, web browsing, and app management.

This class will explain how developers can create stable, successful, useful, and professional-looking plug-ins for the Autodesk Exchange store. We will explore basic elements, such as well-designed icons, friendly dialogs, and consistent user feedback and support. Finally, we will explain the Autodesk Exchange store publishing workflow, and we will cover a few tricks about how to market your plug-in.

This lecture will cover the current visualization process in the automotive sector and the integration into the product development process. On this basis, a great future scenario shows and explains the benefits of high-quality visualization to the department’s development, production, and sales.

This interactive class will demonstrate the importance of the discovery process at the beginning of any visualization or video project. After an introduction to the key elements of the discovery phase, the class attendees will collaborate to develop a set of questions to ask during discovery that will achieve the best results and reveal the single most important message to tell. Working in small groups, the class will then compete with each other to find the most compelling story in several scenarios based on typical client requests.

This class is designed to communicate how multiaxis milling machines can improve the efficiency of subtractively manufacturing your parts. We will then explain many of the common problems experienced by computer numerical control (CNC) programmers or owners of these machines, followed by a series of short demonstrations where we will explain how PowerMill software could provide solutions to these problems. This class will be useful for anyone involved in multiaxis milling. There are no prerequisite skills required, nor is knowledge of PowerMill required.

Tune in as we show how it's possible to integrate Fusion 360, Fusion Team, and Forge to create a simple product catalog for your customers.
