This week I've been in Detroit for Autodesk's annual internal share-fest, TechX. In previous year's we've had Technical Summits and X-Summits (for eXperience), but this year is the first combined event welcoming 1,000 Autodesk employees to the Motor City. A lot of the content from the event is – of course – internal, but here […]

Last week I mentioned the effort to update Dasher 360 to use v4.2 of the Forge viewer (the most recent version, at the time of writing, and a fairly big jump from our previously-used version, v3.2.1). Here's how Dasher 360 is now looking after these various changes: In this post I'm going to give more […]

Here's some fun memorabilia from Autodesk's Neuchatel office: T-shirts from a couple of different events held in recent years. Both are brand-new and have never been worn. The first comes from an internal event that was held back in 2015 to highlight the importance of taking security (particularly product and information security) seriously. The T-shirt […]

This year will be the 3rd edition of the Forge DevCon. Once again it's being held in Las Vegas on the Monday before Autodesk University 2018 starts, which for this year means November 12th, 2018. The "call for proposals" website is now live, and will remain open until June 11th. If you're interested in submitting […]

After the previous day's excitement of seeing AutoCAD Web on mainstage at the Google I/O developer keynote, on Wednesday our very own Marcus O'Brien, Senior Product Line Manager in the AutoCAD team, took to the stage during another session at Google I/O – entitled "Building the Future Web with WebAssembly" – to talk a bit […]

As a great way to demonstrate the promise WebAssembly holds for software developers, AutoCAD Web was showcased during yesterday's developer keynote at Google I/O. This is well-deserved recognition of the important work done by the AutoCAD team on the Fabric project (and on AutoCAD Web itself, of course). Congratulations to all those involved!

It's been a quiet week on the blogging front, mainly because of the May 1st holiday on Tuesday, but also because I've been heads-down on projects I can't really talk much about. One thing that does seem worth sharing is an approach we've been using to take geometry from Dynamo into Revit. The project itself […]

There's a lot of change going on, over in the Forge Partner Development team. This is the team of talented individuals who help customers and partners working with Forge – as well as members of the Autodesk Developer Network, of course. One of the team's Senior Managers, Stephen Preston (who took over many of my […]

This is a slightly anomalous post in the "one man's trash" series, in that we've actually found something I can't bear to part with. This was nearly the case for The Autodesk File 3rd Edition, but I did bring myself to ship that one off to Oregon. Today's item, once again uncovered by Francesco Tonioni, […]

Many of you have been using Forge services to good effect, whether the Forge viewer or the Data Management, Model Derivative and Design Automation APIs. There's lots of really cool stuff you can do with Forge – we use it heavily in Dasher 360, for instance – but the existing services are largely engineered to […]
