Autodesk understands the challenges of the 2D design environment that designers are often faced with:

• Need to support both 2D and 3D design processes
• Worried about losing AutoCAD expertise and design data
• Need to rapidly create production ready drawings for downstream users
• Products are experiencing stress-related field failures
• Takes too long to develop piping or wiring designs
• Need to spend more time solving design problems and less time solving geometry modeling problems

Features & Specifications

The Autodesk Inventor product line provides a comprehensive and integrated set of design applications and 2D transition tools to help manufacturing companies move to 3D. It includes:

• Autodesk Inventor® Series software for 3D design and documentation

Overview

Improve productivity, accuracy, and coordination—from conceptual design through construction documentation—with Autodesk® AutoCAD® Revit® Series—Systems Plus, the building design and construction documentation solution for mechanical/electrical/ plumbing (MEP) engineering. Maximize the efficiency of MEP design and documentation processes within an AutoCAD® software-based workflow using Autodesk® Building Systems or a Revit® software-based workflow using Autodesk® Revit® Systems. Collaborate seamlessly and improve coordination between MEP engineering design teams, as well as with architects and structural engineers. And with building information modeling, accelerate decision making through the automated creation of engineering design data and parametric change management.

You Have Choice and Flexibility

AutoCAD Revit Series—Systems Plus enables MEP firms to support the multiple project software environments requested by customers—architects, construction companies, and building owners.

Enable better and faster decision making. Win more work through enhanced client communication. Capitalize on the competitive advantages of building information modeling by optimizing systems design and providing better engineering direction to your client. Implement Autodesk Revit Systems on projects adopting building information modeling. Maximize the efficiency of MEP design and construction documentation processes with Autodesk® Building Systems, which automates existing drafting-based workflows, making them better and faster.

Autodesk® Design Review brings advanced viewing, markup, and revision features, plus all the enhancements added in the new Autodesk® DWF™ Viewer.

• Import DWG and DXF Files - Import AutoCAD® DWG™ and DXF™ files, including the latest 2007 format, directly into Design Review with full fidelity and accuracy.
• Markup Enhancements: Rotate Objects and Symbols - Rotate text, rectangles, ellipses, and other symbols, including symbols containing raster images.
• Combine 2D and 3D Designs - Share, review, and mark up both 2D drawings and 3D models in a single file. Design Review supports adding, deleting, reordering, and renaming sheets and models within the Navigator window.
• Round-Trip Reviews - Increase team productivity with inline markup tools that enable you to round-trip designs quickly and easily back into Autodesk design software—without the need to reenter information ( now including Autodesk Inventor® 11 DWF Extension).
• Specific Enhancements for Manufacturing Customers - View animated assembly instructions and exploded views of complex designs to greatly simplify the work of downstream users.
• View and Mark up Bill of Materials - Improve communication with suppliers and other departments by enabling secure review of designs and product definition data such as BOM information earlier in the process.

Create and explore your ideas with these new features:

• Create the design of your dreams, or your client’s, with creation, editing, and navigation tools that take your vision to a new level of precision and aesthetic presentation.
• Visualize your ideas like never before with lighting effects, materials libraries, walk-through animations, and stunning rendering capabilities.
• Document your design quickly and easily with sectioning and flattening tools, dynamic blocks, and enhanced tables to create clear and accurate sets of construction documents.
• Share design information across extended teams with powerful tools for exchanging data.
• Migrate easily with tools that help you upgrade while preserving customization of toolbars and menus.
