Here at AU, we’re always looking for ways to improve learning for you, our faithful and brilliant followers. Right now we’re trying to learn more about what Autodesk products you use and how you learn to use them. Where do you turn when you need help with new tasks or features? A colleague? A book? The help feature within the software? Knowing who or what guides your learning will help us improve the AU learning experience for everyone. Do you have a few minutes to help us out? We’ve put together a brief online survey—it just takes about 10 minutes to complete. Will you take the survey for us?... READ MORE >

Have you ever seen a UAV (unmanned aerial vehicle)? Not to be confused with a UFO (although if you didn't know what you were looking at, it would be an honest mistake), UAVs, also called consumer drones, have exploded onto the scene in the last few years.

You know AU is a great place to learn, right? (Hint: that’s why we called it Autodesk University, not Autodesk Get-together.) You can choose from hundreds of sessions to learn tips, tricks, and insights for the software you use every day from experts in your field.

(Fun fact: we received more than 700 proposals in the final hours—way to hustle, folks.) We’d like to thank each and every 1 of you who put in the time and hard work to prepare and submit a class proposal. Your dedication is what makes AU such an incredible learning experience and an inspiration to the whole Autodesk community. Please give yourself a pat on the back.  As in previous years, there will be multiple class ... READ MORE >

Does it seem like the people who get all the BIM training in your architecture or engineering firm are the experts who use it every day? Are there architects, engineers, and project managers (maybe you?) whose BIM skills could use a little polishing? When everyone in the office has at least a working knowledge of BIM software like Revit, they can communicate more effectively, and also help out in a pinch. A great way to bring everyone up to speed is to start a regular training program, and get everyone involved. If that sounds like something your office could benefit from, head over to Autodes...
