Hello, incase no one has heard of these products/programs before, Autodesk make many computer aided designing/drafting programs. You can virtually make anything on a computer, then (if your skilled) make it in real life. Now to my question, I have the opportunity to download virtually ANY autodesk program (for free), but im most interested in Autodesk Mechanical and Autodesk Automotive. Has anybody used or had experience with these programs? *Here* is an example of what can be done in these programs.

Any input is welcome

Thanks, Ryan

I mainly use Autocad and Autocad Electrics, as I mainly draw in 2D and electrical schematics.
I work with people who use Autodesk Navisworks and Inventor for 3D. I think Inventor is probably the one you are after, it's more suitable to automotive, and you can animate and set objects in motion, like that video. Its pretty cool.
That must take a while to download, the Inventor 2009 install is jam packed on two DVD's (nearly 10gig worth).

Last time I looked, Autodesk sold licenses for software. A free version doesn't seem kosha.
I reckon you should check with Autodesk to make sure it is legit before you get too excited.

volumex, I am currently a student and and Autodesk permits the use of Autodesk programs for students. This is 100% legitamte way to get their products without paying for them. You simply have to sign up the the Autodesk community, share some personal info and BAM you can download whatever you like👍

Also ratbug im not particuarly after animation, just somthing that can sketch up parts ect. 10GB!!!! i dont think i could download that (12 GB per month allowance)😂

Thanks

Go with the AutoCAD Mechanical... or inventor. Learn the 3d modelling... they will all do 2d stuff pretty much the same but the electrical or arcitectual packages have just just specific's in them.

Im on AutoCad 2010 currently and the 3D stuff it can do is impressive, and ideal for sketching parts. Inventor is probably a slightly better tool with some of the analaysis stuff it has etc and 3d is also probably slightly better then STd AutoCAD

Perhaps i should mention i have been using autocad for the last 3 years and have also had some experience with Revit. 3D moddeling is second nature to me atm😂. Still thanks for the suggestions
