At its flagship annual user event Autodesk University, Autodesk, Inc. (NASDAQ:ADSK) announced Autodesk BIM 360 Docs, a comprehensive, cloud-based service for the construction industry that provides a virtual workspace to create, access, maintain, markup and share 2D and 3D project documents, plans and models. Up to 25 percent of construction is rework, and approximately 10 percent of materials are wasted, according to the 2013 industry report by Autodesk, “Making the Grade.” Much of this waste can be attributed to the error-prone process of managing hundreds to thousands of project documents. Today, the construction industry must contend with a tangled web of multiple document management solution providers, contributing to significant inefficiencies and risks on construction project sites. Formerly known as Project Alexandria, Autodesk BIM 360 Docs will help to save time, reduce risk and errors in construction projects. BIM 360 Docs is designed to ensure that the entire project team is building from the correct version of documents

Autodesk (www.autodesk.com) has launched 3DS Max 2016 Extension 2 for 3D modeling, animation and rendering. The new release builds on the Extension 1 releases, which was unveiled earlier this year and expands the software’s capabilities with new tools and workflow improvements that simplify and accelerate the creation of 3D assets. Extension 2 features a number of improvements. Max creation graph enhancements allow users to create, manipulate and use shapes and splines with new nodes. Pros can also import bitmaps and simulation data like CSV or Open VDB files. Print Studio allows users to export 3DS Max files for 3D printing in one swift click. And animators can now import and animate accurate simulation data to visualize how it changes over time. New text and shape map tools allow animators to use objects as a mask to create custom decals, graffiti and other text-based graphics on the fly without leaving 3DS Max.

Theorem is releasing V18.5 of its Multi-CAD products for CATIA V5 R25. All of the products released under V18.5 will now include support for V5 R25 which provides the user with the highest levels of interoperability with JT, NX and Creo file assemblies. Our Multi-CAD solution           Is based upon the Dassault Systemes XCAD infrastructure           Allows CATIA V5 users to incorporate parts and assemblies from other CAD systems, such as NX, Creo and JT, within the CATIA environment           No need to use external translators,           Pulls files directly into CATIA.           Uses the existing V5 commands of “Insert existing component”, “file open” and “file save as”           Checks geometry for errors and validates the integrity of the data as it comes into CATIA.           A low cost and efficient solution to the problems encountered when different CAD systems collaborate R25

GlobalSCAPE, Inc. announced the immediate availability of its upgraded Wide Area File Services™ (WAFS™) collaborative software platform, WAFS 5, at Autodesk in Las Vegas, NV. At the event, which brings together around 10,000 design, engineering, and manufacturing professionals, the software will be available for review and demonstration at Booth #354. WAFS 5 simplifies enterprise collaboration, eliminates errors, and decreases bandwidth usage, providing secure, near real-time data access to both on-premises and cloud-based files located anywhere in the world.
