Bringing a Little It's A CAD World to Autodesk University

 Every year Autodesk conducts Autodesk University or AU at locations all over the world.  It is the opportunity for Autodesk software users, industry experts, and Autodesk employees to gather together to share knowledge.  This year, in light of COVID-19, Autodesk has elected to host one virtual global event, which will be held November 17th to 20th.  Whether you have attended AU multiple times, or never attended, this is a great opportunity to grow your skills and knowledge.

You can still register for AU.

I have spoken at AU Las Vegas on a few occasions and since this year is being conducted virtually, I figured I would submit a few class proposals.  Two of those proposals have been accepted.  My class presentations will be pre-recorded next week, then I will be hosting a live Q & A for each of my two classes during the week of AU. 

The classes I will be teaching at AU are Vault & Inventor Properties:  Working Together for Better Data Management and The Essential Skills for Sheet Metal Modeling in Fusion 360.

Vault & Inventor Properties:  Working Together for Better Data Management is an in-depth look at the Inventor iProperties and Vault Property systems.  I will be discussing the differences between the two systems.  Then I will show how to create properties and mappings between the two systems to create a seamless experience for end-users.

The Essential Skills for Sheet Metal Modeling in Fusion 360 will cover the basic skills necessary for creating sheet metal models in Fusion 360.  I see a lot of posts in the Fusion 360 Facebook User Group from people that are looking for resources on how to get started in different areas of Fusion 360.  I felt that this class would be the perfect opportunity to create a resource for sheet metal modeling.  I will discuss the purpose of the Sheet Metal Rules and how the Flange command can be used to create three different types of geometry.

You can find these two classes and many more in the AU Session Schedule.

If you do have the opportunity to attend, I hope you check out my classes and attend the live Q and A session for one, or both, of the classes.  It would be a great way to connect to those of you that have been reading this blog over the last few years.

Hope to talk to you then.
