For the Manufacturing Solutions Division, our focus is to enable our 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 with the supply chain. Our primary solution offering is the Autodesk Inventor
Series, which delivers Autodesk Mechanical Desktop, based on AutoCAD software, Autodesk Inventor, a 3D
mechanical design software product with built in collaboration and design management tools, and Autodesk
Vault, an integrated engineering data management solution, that helps design teams organize and reuse designs
by consolidating product information and reducing the need to re-create designs from scratch.
For the Infrastructure Solutions Division, our focus is to enable our customers to compile, analyze and
maintain digital design information, manage physical infrastructure projects and securely distribute information
to remote locations. Our primary offerings are Autodesk Map 3D for precision mapping and geographic
information system analysis in the AutoCAD environment, AutodeskLand Desktop, our land development design
tool for the AutoCAD environment and Autodesk Civil 3D, our design tool for the civil engineering industry.
For the Building Solutions Division, our focus is to enable our customers to create high quality designs and
documentation, securely distribute digital design data, accurately estimate project costs, manage project
workflow and securely collaborate with project team and downstream users. Our primary offerings are Autodesk
Architectural Desktop, based on AutoCAD software, and Autodesk Revit Building. Autodesk AutoCAD Revit
Series includes a complete architectural design and documentation platform supporting all phases of design and
all the architectural drawings and schedules required for a building project, and AutoCAD in one solution.
For the Platform Technology Division our focus is on providing CAD design tools and technologies that allow
our customers in multiple markets to create, manage, and share design data. Our primary offerings are AutoCAD
and AutoCAD LT.
To address the emerging lifecycle management opportunities, we have released products in specific vertical
markets, including:
•Autodesk DWF Composer — helps to reduce errors, cycle times and costs by keeping the entire design
review process digital. DWF Composer also helps facilitate team communication and productivity with
tools built specifically for reviewing, marking up, and measuring 2D and 3D designs without the original
design creation software. The DWF file format is purpose-built to share complex design information while
maintaining its integrity with file sizes that are often 1/10 the size of other file formats. Autodesk also
provides a free DWF Viewer for users to view and print 2D and 3D designs published in the DWF format.
•Autodesk Buzzsaw — a project collaboration service that allows users to manage multiple projects and
communicate project information among all team members. Autodesk Buzzsaw provides viewing
technology, customized views, and reporting features that provide a clear status of the entire project
portfolio.
•Autodesk Productstream — automates the release management and change order management allowing
members of the extended team to access, review and add supporting data without overwriting the design
data itself.
•Autodesk Streamline — a hosted project management messaging service that enables companies to
manage design and project data and share it with customers and suppliers anywhere in the world.
