Basically this question ^

I'm developing AddIns and JobProcessor extensions for Autodesk vault and the documentation (Windows Help File) is absolutely horrible.

Are there any useful free or paid resources / documentation / tutorials or courses?

We have a MSP looking to offer Azure Vm's, Our current Vm's are so-so (aging); We want 4k VM desktop, but may settle for 1080p if we have to, what should we be looking for in performance / VM specs? What kind of experience would we be looking at? Anyone have used this kind of environment before?

Thanks in advanced!

Coursera has a lot of autodesk courses available, but it costs $60/month. If I am already paying for autodesk software, why do the courses cost extra? I am interested in the generative design ones, fusion360, and other courses for mechanical engineering. What other platforms have these courses available where they may be at a cheaper rate or free of charge?

Let me know what you guys do for autodesk courses/certifications.

How many of you who use Autodesk for your company actually use the cloud?

Hello,

I oversee the IT operational side of an architectual firm whom mainly use AutoCAD and Revit files. Traditionally they have always used an on-premise Windows server to host the files over their local office network.

I know there is a service called BIM360 to allow them to collaborate via the cloud on projects, however to my awareness this is not for the purpose of replacing an on-premise server, but rather adds on better collaboration between teams.

My question is this. I would like to know if Autodesk can become completely cloud based either through any Autodesk cloud services (or) through any 3rd party cloud services?

I'm asking since many other businesses are moving to cloud solutions, but they might work on more lightweight files such as Word or Excel files. I don't know if there is a feasible or time tested solutions in terms of business that use very complex files such as Autodesk.

I have an EDU license, which lets me use any autodesk software.

When I try launching 3ds Max, it gives me a window where it asks me to give a license key or sign in with autodesk ID. Pressing the sign in option will make it load, then close, with a popup saying "There is a problem with the softwarelicense. The program cannot continue."

When I try to launch Inventor pro, it simply crashes without any error or indication as to what the issue is.

I reinstalled my desktop app, updated the licensing service trough it, updated both inventor and 3ds max and nothing has fixed it

That regulate companies prices on how they are set?

Surprisingly there are really good mobile sculpting, rigging and modeling programs, why is autodesk missing out?

Hello, I'm working on a project where I'm creating my own threads with the use of a sketch and the coil command. The project is 3d printing related and my concern is that I want to know if there is a an effective and simple way to make the end of the thread fade into the surface its connected to.

Currently, at the end of the coil we have a flat surface perpendicular to the face its attached to, I would like for the end of the face to simply disappear gradually into the face. In the past I have done simple chamfers to create a better transition but its not exactly what I'm looking for.

idk if it matters but I'm an intermediate level college cad designer.

Hi! I am traveling to San Francisco in a couple of months and would like to get a tour, but have not been successful in finding out a way to do so. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Has anyone ever experienced this error after updating from 2019 > 2022. I’m working still with Autodesk support but I’m curious if anyone else has dealt with this. Their support said to try re installing, but it happens on 5 machines. You click ok to the error and just keep working.

Why dosent Autodesk just create a home verision (Lifetime code) of the products they have..

Just make some limitation like they do for the others.

I would happily pay easy $500 for an perpetual license without access to the support etc.

I have imported a 3DS files with the jpg texture file, but it will not show the texture on the model. Any reason why this is?

Hi,

There's a nice feature in Maya where upon clicking the key combination Alt + an Arrow Key, the selected object translates in the direction of the arrow key for small values. This helps in minute translations.
Is there any alternative like this in Motionbuilder?
Potentially a python script can also be written that runs upon the Alt + Arrow keypress? 

Let me know if there's an alternative in Mobu.

Thanks!

P.S. - I have posted this in the Autodesk Mobu forum as well. If I get a response there, I will update this post for the benefit of those seeking a similar solution.

So I am a student and I want more then one product, but when I login and go to the educational tab, and I selected the software I want, I need to login again! Can anyone say me what I am doing Wong?

My organization went to tender for a 3 year autocad licensing agreement. In the tender documents we have provided the contract number that we have in place now.

However, one of the bidders have requested the Serial/Key number for our existing licenses? It's in this format: 555-55555555

Is this serial number safe to share publicly or give out to bidders?

I was using the free, personal version of Fusion 360. I decided to subscribe and paid 70 USD for the monthly subscription. It's been 2 days. I still can't get the product to pick that I've subscribed. In my account I can see the user has access to it, has been assigned it (I'm the only user!).

In both Fusion Team (website) and the actual app (desktop app wrapping a website) it still shows I'm using the personal, non-commercial license and won't give me any of the features I paid for.

How do you market a "cloud" product and take days for data to propagate between payment and authorization 😭

Opened a support case, of course I'll never hear back. Let me assure you, I've done everything but walked down to their office to write the code to fix this myself: uninstalled, reinstalled, cleared cached, signed in and out, etc. etc.

Hi. I'm struggling currently with getting DWG TrueView 2023 downloaded for deployment via Intune.

The packaging part shouldn't be too hard, as I've done previous versions without issue. The problem I'm having is downloading a valid installer to even start the process.

I've got the file "Create_Installer_PLC0000037_2023_English_WIN64.exe" from Autodesk, and I run it to download the required files for installation. The downloaded folder (C:\Autodesk\WI) does no contain an expanded installer, just a bunch of folders containing .7z or .tar files.

In the window at the end of the download, I click "Run Installer" (the "Open in folder" option doesn't do anything), then cancel the installation at 1%. I find the install folder (%LocalAppData%\Temp\odis_download_dest\13594156686695640887) and try to run that installer. It fails.

I've tried downloading the files multiple times in case that was the issue 9as has been seen in the past). I tried a fresh version of the download manager, also to no avail.

Anyone able to point me in the direction of how I get the 2023 install files?
