• Autodesk Building Design Suites
Autodesk Building Design Suites ("BDS") give the power of BIM or CAD, with tools for modeling, visualization, and
documentation. With a comprehensive set of tools, BDS gives customers the ability to manage all phases of design and
construction. Three editions of BDS are available to meet each customer's particular business needs and offer the depth and
breadth of the Autodesk portfolio.
• Autodesk Revit
Purpose-built for BIM, the Autodesk Revit products collect information about a building project and allow this
information to be coordinated 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 Autodesk
Revit products, including AutoCAD Revit Architecture Suite, AutoCAD Revit MEP Suite, and AutoCAD Revit Structure Suite,
provide an intuitive, sophisticated, 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.
• Autodesk Infrastructure Design Suites
The Infrastructure Design Suites are the BIM for Infrastructure design solution that combines intelligent, model-based
tools to help the user to gain more accurate, accessible, and actionable insight. With unique access to the Autodesk
infrastructure software portfolio, users can benefit throughout the execution and lifecycle of transportation, land, and water
projects. Three editions of Infrastructure Design Suites are available to meet each customer's particular business needs and offer
the depth and breadth of the Autodesk portfolio.
• AutoCAD Civil 3D
AutoCAD Civil 3D products provide 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 products enable civil engineers, designers, drafters, and
surveyors to significantly boost productivity and deliver higher-quality designs and construction documentation faster. With
AutoCAD Civil 3D products, the entire project team works from the same consistent, up-to-date model so they stay coordinated
throughout all project phases.
• AutoCAD Map 3D
AutoCAD Map 3D software provides direct access to data needed for infrastructure planning, design, and management
activities. AutoCAD Map 3D software helps professionals working on transportation, land development, water, and power
projects to more easily create, manage, and analyze design geographic information system and asset data.
PSEB
Our PSEB segment includes our design product, AutoCAD. Our AutoCAD product is a platform product that underpins
our design product offerings for all the industries we serve. For example, our AEC and MFG segments offer tailored versions of
AutoCAD software for the industries they serve. Our AutoCAD product also provides a platform for our developer partners to
build custom solutions for a range of diverse design-oriented markets. PSEB's revenue primarily includes revenue from sales of
licenses of our design products, AutoCAD and AutoCAD LT, as well as the AutoCAD Design Suite and many other design and
consumer products. The segment’s principal product offerings included the following during fiscal 2015:
• AutoCAD
AutoCAD software, which is our largest revenue-generating product, is a customizable and extensible computer-aided
design (CAD) application for professional design, drafting, detailing, and visualization. AutoCAD software provides digital
tools that can be used independently and in conjunction with other specific applications in fields ranging from construction to
manufacturing, civil engineering, and process plant design.
