Over the past few years, we’ve changed the way we deliver software updates to our customers. Today, we deliver updates when they\u2019re ready, so customers can get the newest capabilities sooner.<\/p>\n

And the way we source product ideas has changed. Thanks to our collaboration with customers, and open communities like our Ideastations<\/a>, we hear what YOU need to work smarter and faster. Last year, our customers drove hundreds of enhancements across our products, and we\u2019re just getting started.<\/p>\n

We\u2019re embracing these practices\u2014co-developing with our customers and making enhancements available sooner and more often\u2014but there are still moments in time during the year when software development cycles align and a big cluster of updates arrive over a 1-2 month window. A couple weeks ago, AutoCAD got its big batch of \u20182019\u2019 upgrades<\/a>.<\/p>\n

This week, we\u2019re kicking off a huge set of updates to our Industry Collections<\/a>. Collections combine Autodesk\u2019s most powerful software in simple packages. Subscribing to one is the best way to get the most value out of Autodesk software because it connects the whole design-to-make workflow specific to each industry. \u00a0We checked in with teams around the company to get a look at what\u2019s coming in each Collection\u2026

“Many of Autodesk’s Revit 2019 updates are a direct result of customer feedback submitted to our Revit Ideas page. Revit 2019 delivers on the top requests, including improving the overall design environment with a completely re-written view management system that also allows customer to take full advantage of multiple monitors. This one alone had nearly 1,000 votes! We’ve improved working in 3D with full perspective editing, displaying levels in 3D, and introduced physically-based materials, all improving the architectural design process. We’ve greatly expanded steel structural connection modeling, including support for custom connections, added rebar modeling for free form structures like bridges, and continued to improve mechanical fabrication modeling. We’ve also optimized workflows like improvements to primary\/secondary hydronic networks for modeling complicated piping networks.”<\/p>\n

“We continuously strive to deliver improvements to InfraWorks in the areas of design, optimization, and collaboration to our customers. This latest release of InfraWorks offers improvements and enhancements in many areas including parametric tunnel modeling, line girder analysis for steel girders, more dynamic integration with Revit, and enterprise worksharing with BIM 360 document management.”<\/p>\n
