For the latest release of AutoCAD a new set of imagery was created. This is the first major evolution of the AutoCAD product brand in several years: our Brand Strategy & Design group recently shared some material about the work they do that I thought would be of interest to readers of this blog. Many […]

When I first started this blog, back in 2006, I used our (back then) Autodesk-recommended blogging platform, Typepad. When configuring the blog I had in the back of my mind that I'd end up putting it on a custom domain of some kind (perhaps Shaan Hurley's autodesk.blogs.com), so I chose to use a blog-specific subfolder […]

After recent posts about digitizing tablet overlays and a trip down memory lane on AutoCAD rearchitectures, today's giveaway follows this retro theme. Francesco Tonioni discovered a box of digitizing tablet pucks hidden away in a cupboard. I have no idea whether there is anything useful in having these without a tablet itself (presumably the tablet […]

Over the weekend I received an email from Jürgen Becker. It came with this image, which certainly brought back memories. The email referred to our recent trip down memory lane… I read your last post and remembered a poster. Do you remember that release, it was terrible? This is one of my favourite "chat over […]

Firstly, I'd like to thank the few people who engaged on the last One Man's Trash, which was clearly (but hopefully not too clearly) an April 1st prank. I'd have expected more people to "bite", but then it was posted over the weekend, so perhaps not that many people saw it. Or perhaps it was […]

In a recent post I mentioned a trip to Amsterdam to visit with Van Wijnen and MX3D. The press embargo has now lifted on MX3D's bridge – as you can see from a slew of recent articles – so I can now share a bit more information about that part of the visit. During that […]

It's really proving to be a fun series, as we recycle the contents of the closing Autodesk Neuchatel office. So far we've given away a couple of RS-232 breakout boxes, a signed copy of The Autodesk File and a (so far unclaimed) patch panel punch down tool. Today we're offering a very special item to […]

Colleagues in Autodesk's Office of the CTO (OCTO) – who work in the robotics lab on Pier 9 – have just released the code for a new tool called Mimic. Mimic is an open source plugin – with the Python code posted on GitHub – that allows you to simulate and control the use of […]

Yesterday was a big day for the AutoCAD product. A multi-year engineering project – started in the AutoCAD team way back when I was part of it – culminated in its first deliverables getting into the hands (or, in this case, browsers) of customers. The AutoCAD team has been working on a project codenamed "Fabric" […]

I was a little torn about my plans for this week: the Forge team is running a packed Accelerator in Munich, so it would have been great to have spent my week over there. As it happened I ended up coming to the Netherlands, instead, to meet with two incredibly innovative companies, Van Wijnen and […]
