You will learn the basics of 3D solid modeling with AutoCAD software using only about 10 new commands. Included are a lot of practical techniques, tips, and caveats with real-life models. My goal is to give you a solid introduction, demonstrations, and a roadmap to 3D solid modeling that will make you functional in an hour with as few commands as possible—and to avoid overwhelming you with information.

Join Autodesk CEO Carl Bass and CTO Jeff Kowalski as they present today's most compelling trends in design and technology—from 3D printing and infinite computing to advanced simulation and digital fabrication. Watch Penn & Teller perform a magic trick with Autodesk’s Jonathan Knowles. Find out how new mindsets, such as crowdsourcing, enhanced cross-disciplinary collaboration, and bottom-of-the-pyramid innovation are changing the way we work. It's a big picture presentation about where design technology is, where it's going—and how Autodesk and its customers are working to imagine, design, and create a better world.
