This is the typical 3 year AutoCAD technology release cycle – changing DWG, binary compatibility and Visual Studio once very 3 years. But not this next 3 years.

Due to major infrastructure changes including One Graphics System (OGS) we saw earlier in the day - and Fiber removal mentioned last year and you’ll hear more about later – changes that cannot be done in one release, and we don’t want to wait another 3 years to do, we’ll be breaking binary compatibility two releases in a row – and “maybe” change in compilers (VS 2012? If Microsoft timing is right).
DWG file format will stay on the regular 3 year cycle.

6. Apps store Cloud Model Documentation
The three big buckets of new capabilities for Jaws are –
Apps store (taking the store to the next level)
Cloud (delivering and easy integrated experience)
Model Documentation (major enhancements in model to drawing capabilities we started in 2012)

7. Apps store iPhone App Store like experience Quick, easy, delightful
Goal: Immediate solutions – easy and delightful
iPhone App Store like experience

Look familiar? We showed this last year. And delivered on it.

8. Apps store Demo Reach Experience Over 1 million users
Goal: Energize and Delight the Developer Community
Reach
Over 1 million users
AutoCAD, Inventor, Revit, Civil 3D, Map 3D, AutoCAD Architecture, AutoCAD MEP, AutoCAD mechanical, AutoCAd Electrical, Vault, PLM…
Cost of Marketing = Near Zero
Experience
In Product and Web
Easy download, install, update and migrate
Free, Trial and Fee based Products
Over 170 products from over 40 partners running over 1000 downloads per month. Great customer feedback – they love it! But a too well kept secret.
Expanding to Inventor, Revit, AutoCAD based Verticals, Vault and more.
Two releases supported for AutoCAD increasing in product availability from 150k or so today to over 400k by late next year.
Including verticals, Revit and Inventor – closer reaching a million users.
Access through web is also expected to increase traffic.
Demo on iPad view of three new Apps stores (work in process)
All told we’ve been running 1000 or so app downloads per month which we expect to increase by one to two orders of magnitude.
More we are doing to drive volume…

A handful of partners are seeing hundreds of downloads helping them reach hundreds of new customers – driving real business growth. A few partners have seen 20%+ growth in their revenue – using the store as a lead finder. Introducing themselves to new customers through a quick delightful experience.
But it takes work.
The right app
The right description/information

Now is the time to get onboard with a variety of apps – so you can learn.
Leverage success as a source of new customers with a free app.
Include paid apps so you have the chance to be on the front line as we learn – and when we turn the corner on sales.
Improvements that enable high cost product selling like taking Purchase Orders are in the works – as well as addition of FIGS support to drive additional traffic and enable publishers in non-English markets.

14. Cloud AutoCAD and Autodesk Cloud
Store and share your data
Print, Edit and View your drawings from anywhere with AutoCAD WS
Cloud rendering
Using the same to both store data where its easily accessible from many devices and by other people, simple date and time based rev control eliminating the loss of information and use of down rev designs – as well as saving user profiles so users can more easily use other machines. This is the first step to making it easy for a user to easily recreate their work environment quickly and easily wherever they happen to be working.

15. Model Documentation MFG Documentation Release 2
Demo
Additional translators: SketchUp
Section and Details Views (inc Partial, Offset, aligned)
Associativity for AutoCAD Dimensions, and Annotations
Dedicated Workspace
Property Palette
Autodesk Vault Support
Last DevDays we didn’t demo the new Model Documentation capabilities as it was a late addition – and had limitations when one wanted to use for production drafting. This release Model Docuentation is in most oart complete – so lets take a look.
Demo Die Block
Create and place views in Layout
Add a few dimensions
Change geometry in model view – and see changes in layouts – and how dimensions that are orphaned are handled
Create complex offset section – including removing pins from section participation as well as browsing section “templates” flexibility – including changing cross section hatch color.
Create detail
Edit model geometry and watch all the updates
Demo with Inventor Nozzle model layout in AutoCAD – including changing size of hole in disc in Inventor – and then updating in AutoCAD.
Maybe Revit next?

Delivering on several top AUGI wish list items – simple things like multi select for Hatchedit is a bid deal for a production drafter.
Of course 3D modeling continues to advance. Is AutoCAD the most popular “history free direct modeler” on the planet?

19. Apps store Cloud Model Documentation
Remember the three big buckets of new capabilities for Jaws are –
Apps store (taking the store to the next level) Get involved!
Cloud (delivering and easy integrated experience) Get started learning!
Model Documentation (major enhancements in model to drawing capabilities we started in 2012) Production drafters will want it.
