ŠRevit Products
Purpose-built for BIM, the Revit products collect information about a building project and coordinate this
information across all other representations of the project so that every drawing sheet, 2D and 3D view and
schedule is based on internally consistent and complete information from the same underlying building database.
The Revit products, including AutoCAD Revit Suite, Revit MEP and Revit Structure, provide an intuitive
state-of-the-art model-based design and documentation system for architects; mechanical, electrical and
plumbing (MEP) engineers; structural engineers; design-build teams; and other design and building industry
professionals.
ŠAutoCAD Architecture
Designed for architects and built on the AutoCAD platform, AutoCAD Architecture software supports
existing 2D design practices while enabling users to gradually introduce increasingly powerful industry-specific
features to gain efficiency and improve coordination. It offers flexibility in implementation and collaboration,
using industry-leading DWG technology, the efficiency of real-world building objects and AutoCAD-based
design and documentation productivity for architects.
ŠAutoCAD Civil 3D
AutoCAD Civil 3D provides a surveying, design, analysis, and documentation solution for civil engineering,
including land development, transportation, and environmental projects. Using a model-centric approach that
automatically updates documentation as design changes are made, AutoCAD Civil 3D enables civil engineers,
designers, drafters, and surveyors to significantly boost productivity and deliver higher-quality designs and
construction documentation faster. With AutoCAD Civil 3D, the entire project team works from the same
consistent, up-to-date model so they stay coordinated throughout all project phases.
ŠAutodesk Buzzsaw and Autodesk Constructware
Autodesk Buzzsaw and Autodesk Constructware online collaboration and project management solutions
enable increased project visibility, project reporting, project management, and integrated design review. These
solutions help users simplify and centralize all project-related documents and information to connect with their
project team, regardless of organizational or geographical boundaries. The primary markets targeted are the
homebuilding, retail, hospitality, commercial construction, infrastructure and engineering industries.
Manufacturing Solutions Division
The Manufacturing Solutions Division accounted for 22% of the Design Solutions Segment revenue and
19% of overall net revenue in fiscal 2008. The division provides the manufacturing industry with comprehensive
design, data management and Digital Prototyping solutions, enabling customers to rapidly adopt 3D model-based
design, create and validate designs in a simple 2D/3D environment, and manage designs from the conceptual
design phase through the manufacturing phase. The division’s principal product offerings include the following:
ŠAutodesk Inventor Products
Autodesk Inventor products, including Autodesk Inventor Suite and Autodesk Inventor Professional
products, account for a majority of the Manufacturing Solution Division’s revenue. The Autodesk Inventor
products deliver AutoCAD Mechanical software for 2D drawing and detailing, Inventor software, and data
management software in one solution. 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 digital
prototyping functionality. Customers who purchase Autodesk Inventor Professional products have access to a
comprehensive, integrated design solution that combines Inventor software, AutoCAD Mechanical, data
management, stress analysis and dynamic simulation.
