Receiving Automatic Notifications from Autodesk

Here is a Movie I just created and also the script. Enjoy....

Common comment we hear from customers is that Autodesk releases so many Hotfixes, Updates and Solutions that its difficult to keep a track of them all. Its not always easy to navigate through multiple websites trying to find them all.

One possible solution is to allow notifications be delivered to you via RSS feeds. RSS feeds is a standard technology for having news headlines delivered to you rather than you having to search them out.

RSS feeds can be viewed in applications you use every day like Microsoft Outlook.

To set RSS feeds up in Microsoft Outlook you first go to the website that you want to subscribe to, in this case I want to receive notifications about Autodesk Vault and Inventor.

So lets go to the Autodesk Website. (www.autodesk.com)
In the bottom right hand corner is the orange and white RSS icon. Click that.
Under Support Feeds select
"Product Support, Updates & Service Packs"

Select "Autodesk Inventor" and "Autodesk Vault"

Click Create Custom Feed

This generates a URL
Copy the URL,
In Outlook, Under RSS Feeds, Right click and select "Add a new RSS feed"
Paste the copied URL, then click Add

you can click the Advanced button for more options like the feed name or the destination folder and most importantly "Automatically download enclosures for this RSS feed"

If you set it up correctly you will see the latest feeds appear in front of you.

RSS is a technology used by many Autodesk websites and you can also us it for other sites including our popular blogs like "Cracking the Vault", Without a Net and Being Inventive

So, thank you for your attention

I hope you found this video solution informative and useful.
