Electronic Delivery of Software Go Live and Delayed Availability of Electronic License Delivery (ELD) SKUs

Today is an important milestone in our Business Modernization efforts, as Autodesk now begins to provide electronic delivery of licenses and software for the majority of our software products available in specified
countries in EMEA*. Partners will not experience major changes to how they transact business today; they will continue to order serialized box SKUs.  However, if they place a dedicated order providing the customer information, they and their customers will receive the serial number and instructions for downloading for added convenience by email as well.

Autodesk previously announced that as part of these Business Modernization efforts, ELD SKUs would also be available on December 3 to allow partners to order ELD SKUs instead of serialized box SKUs. However, the new ELD SKUs that are currently in Q4 price lists will not be orderable until further notice.

In order to ensure you are familiar with the new end-to-end customer experience please watch the helpful 4 minute demo, now available on the Electronic License Delivery (ELD) Resource Center on Partner Portal here. In addition you’ll find a detailed Frequently Asked Questions document and other related support materials, all designed to make this transition a positive experience not only for our customers but for also for our valued partners.

* EMEA - EEA countries and Switzerland, including their territories

You Get. We Give.

When you sign up for a free* Autodesk 360 account, Autodesk will give US$1 to Engineers Without Borders USA**. You get. We give. Everyone wins.

Engineers Without Borders USA is a non-profit humanitarian organization dedicated to partnering with developing communities around the world. Thousands of members in more than 290 university and professional chapters are supporting engineering projects worldwide. Through this campaign, Autodesk will support EWB-USA in implementing the infrastructure necessary to meet basic human needs.

Request the features you want with Ideastation

Since joining Autodesk I've been asked a number of times, "When are we going to get this feature....why hasn't that been put into this product.." and the common response I give is "Well have you asked for it?" and usually the answer is no. Although in all fairness it's never really been that obvious how it can be done.

My answer used to be "Please log your request using the product feedback page" (http://usa.autodesk.com/adsk/servlet/index?siteID=123112&id=1109794). This is one area that Autodesk Product Managers keep tabs but in all fairness wasn't the easiest page to find.

If you 're a user of the Autodesk forums you may of noticed a change of late, which is the addition of IdeaStations. So you now have a relatively interactive way to log new feature requests. If an idea gets picked up for scoping then you'll see the status change from New Idea to Under Review, Accepted and so more depending on how succesful the request is.

IdeaStations are currently setup for the following applications, click on the links below to view:

iViews

iViews
Envisage UK Ltd

When an Inventor model contains configurators such as iLogic, the drawing view scales normally have to be altered such that the updated model views fit the drawing border correctly.

This app allows the user to create ‘viewports’ for drawing views to fit inside, such that when a model alters, that view will auto-scale to within the viewport.

Viewports can be created on Base views, Isometric views and detail scale views.

To create a viewport, click on the “Setup iViews” button (available from the TOOLS ribbon).

You will be presented with an option to “Update this view on save”. If this is ticked then the viewport will auto-scale the view to fit the viewport on drawing save, otherwise selecting one of the two commands “Update sheet” or “Update all sheets” will auto-scale the view to fit the viewport.

Select “continue”, you will then be asked to select the view you wish to attach the viewport to, finally drag a rectangle to create the new viewport window. Once this is done, either save the drawing or click on one of the “Update sheet” buttons to auto-scale the view to this new viewport.

You will notice that the viewport is created as a draft view in the browser, with the same name as the view it is attached to. The “*” at the end of the draft view name means that it will update when a drawing is saved (as per the option dialog selection). If you remove the “*”, then the view will only update on selection of one of the update buttons. The reverse is true.

Inventor 2012/2013 hjelp tar meg ikke direkte til rett sted!

Inventor 2012/2013 hjelp tar meg ikke direkte til rett sted!

Syns du det er kjedelig at Inventor ikke tar deg direkte til det riktige stede i hjelp når du trykker på F1 på et spesielt sted i en dialogboks? Nå du for eksempel er inne i «Application Options» og er på fanen «Drawing», trykker F1 så blir du tatt til wikihjelp, og da til toppen av hjelp for «Application Options» når du egentlig vil til «Drawing»

For å få det til å virke slik det gjorde tidligere, at du kom direkte til riktig sted, må du først laste ned lokal hjelp herfra. Lagre den under lokasjonen:
C:\Programfiler\Autodesk\Inventor 2013\Local Help

__• Finn filen HelpIds.xml, denne ligger på standard lokasjon,
C:\Programfiler\Autodesk\Inventor 2013\Bin
• Åpne filen HelpIds.xml I text editor, for eksempel notepad.
• Søk etter «UseOnline», og endre denne verdien til «0», da skal det se slik ut: UseOnline="0"
• Lagre xml filen.

UIempen med dette er at du ikke vil få med deg de oppdateringene av hjelpen som dukker opp på http://wikihelp.autodesk.com/
