Can you handle the pressure of inventing for civil? This is a down-and-dirty course in Inventor software and Inventor LT software for civil engineers, civil designers, and civil CAD managers. We'll cover the skills needed in Inventor software to create parts and assemblies specifically for infrastructure projects. We'll then add those parts to Parts Editor and export them to gravity or pressure networks in both AutoCAD Civil 3D software and InfraWorks software. During the class, we'll design a curb inlet in 3 parts, import it into Parts Editor, and place it into an assembly. From the assemblies and families in Parts Editor, we'll create an AutoCAD Civil 3D Parts catalog. Lastly, we'll import the new catalog into AutoCAD Civil 3D and apply the new part to a storm drainage system. As a bonus, we'll repeat all these steps and show you how to import the new part into InfraWorks and apply it to a storm drainage system there. If the gravity of your infrastructure designs is serious enough that you need to reinvent parts, this class is for you!

AutoCAD software has always served as the common denominator for growth as CAD software has improved. It's been the native CAD language for a majority of users for decades. Safely managing the transition from a primarily 2D product, such as AutoCAD LT software, or from a primitive 3D AutoCAD to a powerful 3D parametric modeler is a must for any company. Improper understanding of the core Inventor tools and concepts can hinder your company's adoption of more-effective tools for design, and further delay the transition. This class will focus on the basics of Inventor for the AutoCAD user, as well as techniques to safely and effectively evolve your designs.

Let’s take a look at some of the new tools available for collaboration around AutoCAD software, AutoCAD software-based technology, AutoCAD LT software, and even Inventor software. When you are finished with this class, you will know when to do a quick share of a file using the new Share and Design View tool. You will also get a better understanding about syncing your files and customization from AutoCAD software to the cloud while using the new and improved A360 Drive. We will finish up by taking a look at the new very powerful viewer that’s built into A360 Drive. This session features AutoCAD and AutoCAD 360. AIA Approved

The advances in integrated graphics technology over the past 3 generations of products have been significant across Intel's Core® and Xeon® family of products. Those in the computer-aided design and media and entertainment space have seen Intel's HD graphics pave their way into the entry-level workstation market with certification of products, such as AutoCAD®, Inventor®, 3ds Max®, and Maya® software, and improved performance with key benchmarks. By the end of this class, you will have an understanding of how AutoCAD products can take advantage of all the capabilities of the workstation platform in a desktop environment. In addition, you will learn how AutoCAD LT® software can let users be more nimble and help with collaboration and synchronization of drawings while on the go on a tablet with Intel Core® technology. The AutoCAD® 360 mobile app can further simplify sharing by providing integration between the office and the field, enabling anytime, anywhere access with a compute continuum offering from Intel.
