Productivity-Enhancing Features in Autodesk Inventor
Attend this webcast and discover the significant usability and productivity-enhancing features that benefit users who need to create, optimize, and validate designs involving plastic parts, sheet metal parts, and large assemblies. You'll also learn about the benefits of Autodesk Subscription, including guaranteed access to the latest software release, web support, e-learning services, and predictable budget management. > Watch Now

Mechatronics Design Featuring Autodesk Inventor and AutoCAD Electrical
Today's manufacturers are using a mechatronics-based approach to integrate the electronic, mechanical, and software components of their increasingly complex products. In this webcast, you'll learn how the Autodesk solution for Digital Prototyping offers a scalable, attainable, and cost-effective approach to mechatronic design that can help you improve quality, reduce development costs, and get your innovative mechatronic products to market faster. > Watch Now

Autodesk Inventor: Functional Prototypes

In this webcast, you'll see how Autodesk Inventor allows engineers to capture the functional requirements of a design first. This means 3D models can be created and parts and assemblies are built based on real-world design input, such as load, speed, or power. With a workflow driven by functional design, engineers can rapidly build digital prototypes that validate design functions and catch errors before they ever reach the manufacturing floor. The result: accelerated design cycles, higher-quality designs and reduced manufacturing costs. > Watch Now

DWG Interoperability with Autodesk Inventor

In this webcast, Daryl introduces the DWG TrueConnect feature in Autodesk Inventor. You'll learn how to convert AutoCAD 2D drawings into intelligent Inventor 3D components; create DWG drawings from Inventor 3D designs; and create hybrid 2D and 3D manufacturing workflows. > Watch Now

AutoCAD Electrical:

Boost Your Electrical Controls Design Productivity by 80% with AutoCAD Electrical

Trying to decide whether or not to switch to AutoCAD Electrical? In this webcast, John Zwerlein – Autodesk Solutions Engineer – will demonstrate the time required to complete 10 tasks in both basic AutoCAD and AutoCAD Electrical. The conclusion: switching to AutoCAD Electrical can increase your productivity by as much as 80 percent. > Watch Now

AutoCAD Electrical for Packaging Machine Design

Manufacturers are looking for innovative ways to expedite their control systems designs while creating "best in class" documentation for maintenance personnel and end customers. This webcast will feature the productivity tools found in AutoCAD Electrical for fast creation and modification of control systems drawings for packaging machines. In addition, you'll see how Autodesk data management tools secure these designs and provide valuable history for all changes, enabling more efficient collaboration between engineering disciplines. Join this free webcast and live Q&A to learn how you can save time and money in your packaging machine design and documentation process. > Watch Now

AutoCAD Electrical - The Logical Choice for Electrical Controls Design
Until now, electrical controls designers have relied on generic applications to do their jobs, which can require manual creation of schematics, leading to design errors and offering no simple way to share design information. It's a combination that, ultimately, costs companies time and money. See for yourself why so many electrical controls designers are switching to AutoCAD Electrical. This webcast will show you how you can save time and money by designing intelligent components, reduce schematic design errors with automated cross-referencing, build intelligent circuits dynamically, and generate accurate project reports automatically. > Watch Now
