Beyond the Paper

Brian Souder: Get to know me!

Autodesk Program Manager, Brian Souder, is defining a new type of CAD (computer aided design) product and would like to discuss some concepts with Interior Designers, Landscape Designers, and Contractors. Contact him at [email protected] if you are interested.

P.S. Hopefully you recall Saturday Night Live Jon Lovitz's "get to know me" skit.

Autodesk Labs Content Search allows design data viewing without installing additional software

Autodesk Labs has released a technology preview for Content Search. Please give it a try and let the Labs team know what you think: [email protected].

Autodesk Content Search

You can use text search capabilities to locate DWF files (as well as other formats such as PDF or DWG). In the case of DWF, you can view the design data using Autodesk Freewheel. If you like what you see, you can download the design data in one of the available file formats and include it in your own designs. Since Autodesk Freewheel requires only a browser, you can locate design data without having the design authoring application. With this ease of access, DWF definitely goes beyond the paper.
