Manufacturing Solutions Division
The Manufacturing Solutions Division accounted for 18% of Design Solutions Segment revenues in fiscal
2005. The division provides the mainstream manufacturing industry with comprehensive design and data
management solutions enabling our manufacturing customers to rapidly adopt 3D design, create designs in a
simple 2D/3D environment, manage design data for additional business processes, and share design data across
the enterprise and with the supply chain. The division’s principal product offerings include:
Autodesk Inventor Series and Autodesk Inventor Professional
Autodesk Inventor Series and Autodesk Inventor Professional account for a significant portion of the
Manufacturing Solution Division’s revenues. The Autodesk Inventor Series delivers Autodesk Mechanical
Desktop, based on AutoCAD software, and Autodesk Inventor software, in one solution. Autodesk Inventor
software is a 3D mechanical design creation tool that provides users a 3D assembly-centric solid modeling system
and 2D drawing production system together with adaptive design functionality. Users benefit from on-demand
large assembly segment loading, adaptive design, layout and assembly functionality for solving function before
form, built-in collaboration and design management tools and AutoCAD file compatibility. Customers who
purchase Autodesk Inventor Professional have access to additional specialized capabilities for efficiently creating
wire harness and cabling, plus integrated finite element analysis.
AutoCAD Mechanical
AutoCAD Mechanical software offers 2D mechanical design and engineering tools that are seamlessly
compatible with all AutoCAD-based applications.
Infrastructure Solutions Division
The Infrastructure Solutions Division accounted for 13% of Design Solutions Segment revenues in fiscal 2005.
The division’s solutions enable our infrastructure customers to compile, analyze and maintain digital design and
mapping information, manage physical infrastructure projects, and securely distribute information to remote
locations. The division’s principal product offerings include:
Autodesk Map 3D
Autodesk Map 3D is the Autodesk solution for precision mapping and analysis in an integrated geographic
information system (“GIS”) and CAD environment. It contains the complete AutoCAD toolset to enhance
productivity, and also offers specialized functionality for creating, maintaining and producing maps and
geospatial data.
Autodesk Land Desktop
Autodesk Land Desktop is our land development design tool for the AutoCAD environment built around
a centralized product structure that stores critical data — points, terrain models and alignments — in a central
location where they can be shared by team members. Users benefit from tools that create and label survey points,
define and edit parcels and roadway alignments, automate drafting procedures, create terrain models and
calculate volumes and contours.
Autodesk Civil 3D
AutodeskCivil 3D is the next generation design and drafting software that introduces dynamic, model-based
design to the civil engineering industry. It enables customers to build intelligent, flexible models of civil
engineering products and speeds the design by automating repetitive and tedious drafting tasks.
Building Solutions Division
The Building Solutions Division accounted for 12% of Design Solutions Segment revenues in fiscal 2005. The
division’s solutions range from the most advanced technology for building information modeling (“BIM”) — a
new paradigm for building design, documentation and construction — to the most widely adopted discipline-
