Version Autodesk 2008 software for industry and manufacturing helps customers to rethink the process of product development connecting naturally all the disciplines involved in the development of products, from industrial design to the mechanical and electrical engineering and manufacturing, to experience their ideas before making them reality. With new versions of Autodesk Inventor, AutoCAD Mechanical, AutoCAD Electrical, Autodesk AliasStudio, Autodesk Showcase and Autodesk Productstream, the company offers a complete approach that enables manufacturers to validate their ideas cheaply and foster innovation in the products to create virtual prototypes.

The functionality and interoperability of applications for industry and manufacture of Autodesk make up an environment where industrial designers can create and share digital conceptual models with engineers, who can use the functional design to automatically generate 3D geometry for a digital prototype that incorporates perfectly the mechanical and electrical engineering data. With the help of a system of administration of data, closely integrated calculations, analysis of tension and motion simulation, engineers can test the digital prototypes, optimize and validate their designs and give customers the opportunity to appreciate the functioning of the product before you build it. Furthermore, DWF files provide abundant design data in digital format to the manufacturing plant.

The Inventor product line is the best choice for designers who want to redefine their product development process and enhance your workflow with digital prototyping.

These are some of the major upgrades that favor the digital prototyping:

Interoperability with DWG - DWG TrueConnect with, users can read and write DWG files without conversion, keeping all the associativity with the 3D model of Inventor and increasing reuse and sharing of data of manufacture 2D.

Interoperability with AliasStudio - new functionality to import data of solids and surfaces of AutoCAD, combined with the new export of DWG from Autodesk AliasStudio, provides a fast and reliable way to transfer conceptual designs to Inventor.

Sheet metal design tools - upgrades increase productivity when designing pieces of sheet metal and can use information from manufacturing, as developments and punching data.

Flat cable design tools - full control on the form and the routing of the flat cable simplifies the design of electrical cabling and reduces errors in manufacturing, to ensure that all types of cables can be included in the digital prototype and the corresponding documentation.

Productivity of sketch tools - updated 2D sketch environment reduces the learning curve of new designers and increases the productivity of the past with a clearer information on the status of the restrictions and format of the geometry of the drawing tools.

In addition to Inventor, Autodesk launches fully enhanced versions of complementary products for industry and manufacturing, among others:

AliasStudio - a complete set of tools for the process of conceptual design that helps companies to create excellent designs, resulting in excellent benefits. AliasStudio is now interoperable with Inventor.

Showcase - an interactive tool that helps you make informed decisions using realistic imagery data of 3D design and an environment where present and review designs.

AutoCAD Electrical - leading application designed specifically for designing and documenting electric schemes.

AutoCAD Mechanical - the application of design and mechanical drawing 2D standard parts and content libraries, automation and associative models of Autodesk Inventor disassembly tools.

Autodesk Productstream - software that automates the process of managing updates for managing engineering changes and materials lists.

AutoCAD 2008 and AutoCAD LT 2008

The latest update of AutoCAD is focused on increasing the ability of designers to document their designs quickly and easy, with a level of control that will help to ensure that the designs have the professional look they deserve. AutoCAD 2008 is designed to solve common problems while respecting the existing workflows, without any or hardly training of users, with significant time savings.

AutoCAD LT 2008 is the latest version of the best-selling drawing 2D implementation of the world. It focuses entirely on the productivity of 2D drawing to individual users. AutoCAD LT 2008 includes all the improvements of drawing in AutoCAD 2008.

Autodesk Design Review 2008

Autodesk Design Review favors the design process becoming collaboration both with information as based 2D models. Software accelerates the process of review of design with tools for visualization, measurement and very intuitive review trademarks which do not require software or knowledge of CAD. Design Review enables fully digital changes of design among designers and their teams, with the monitoring of changes to 2D and 3D designs and easy integration of the comments in the Autodesk applications for industry and manufacturing collaboration and communication, architecture, construction and geospatial, as well as processing text and spreadsheet documents.

The new functionality in Autodesk Design Review 2008 includes:

New and improved designs review for non-users of CAD functions. Better automation of design with field data information. Higher productivity to view, print, and search for designs.

Autodesk Inventor 2008 improves the productivity of the user

Autodesk Inventor 2008 software, improves its functions with the aim of increasing the productivity of its users. The Autodesk Inventor product line helps AutoCAD users, because it offers industry and manufacturing companies the benefits of 3D design without risking investment in 2D processes. Inventor products provide a comprehensive, integrated set of tools for 3D, enrutados systems creation and validation of designs, in addition to AutoCAD Mechanical drawing and quartering 2D design and documentation.

Autodesk Inventor 2008 presents specifications and improvements that facilitate their usability: brings interoperability with DWG to a higher level thanks to DWG TrueConnect, improving the environment of sheet of Autodesk Inventor 2008 for increased productivity to design pieces of sheet metal and incorporate information of manufacturing as a tool and parameters optimization of developments in the digital prototype and It allows to insert and channelled flat cables with full control of the form of the cable, including the possibility of defining multiple curves and folds.

In addition, the new functionality to import data of solids and surfaces of AutoCAD, combined with the new export of DWG from Autodesk Alias Studio, provides a fast and reliable way to transfer conceptual designs to Autodesk Inventor.

Latest innovations in Design CAD software

The latest innovations in design software respond to the needs and suggestions of the users, and help them to redefine the design process, to save costs and to promote a constant increase of quality, in order to ensure that they are more innovativeproductive and competitive. The main innovations introduced in the 2008 version of Autodesk software, are improvements suggested by customers regarding the functionality, as a result of visits to the customers, the features most requested by Autodesk User Group International (AUGI) lists and forms of opinion. These improvements are characterized by being more simple and intuitive creation, editing and management solutions.

The improvements introduced by Autodesk cover software design itself and vertical solutions for AutoCAD-based architecture, engineering and construction.
