StormNET, RiverCAD and WaterNET Software Tools to Provide Autodesk Civil Engineering and Utility Customers with Comprehensive Water Analysis Capabilities
SAN RAFAEL, Calif., Aug. 26 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Autodesk, Inc. (NASDAQ: ADSK), a world leader in 2D and 3D design, engineering and entertainment software, has announced the acquisition of certain assets from BOSS International, Inc. to further expand its water resources analysis capabilities for the architecture, engineering and construction (AEC) industry. StormNET for stormwater management analysis, RiverCAD for floodplain analysis, and WaterNET for water distribution analysis will be more closely integrated with Autodesk's model-based design solutions, including AutoCAD Civil 3D, to help engineers streamline workflows, reduce errors and boost productivity. Terms of the transaction were not disclosed.
The environmental engineering and water/wastewater utility markets have recently experienced an uptick due in large part to economic stimulus spending. The acquisition of these products aligns with Autodesk's mission to consistently extend value to its customers and satisfy industry demand. Adding valuable expertise and industry knowledge, Chris Maeder, former president and CEO of BOSS International, will join Autodesk as an industry solutions manager for the environmental engineering industry.
"The addition of BOSS International's water, sewer, and stormwater analysis technology to the Autodesk portfolio supports Autodesk's commitment to extend the value of our model-based design solutions for conducting simulation and analysis of design performance before projects are built," said Jim Lynch, vice president of marketing for AEC solutions at Autodesk. "This is particularly important for sustainable design when engineers need to evaluate the impact of various stormwater management approaches - including rain gardens, bioretention and green roofs - to identify those with minimal environmental impact."

VFX Studios in California, London and Canada Craft Spectacular Effects Using Autodesk Flame, Maya, 3ds Max, Softimage, Mudbox, MotionBuilder and FBX
SAN RAFAEL, Calif., Aug. 24 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Autodesk, Inc. (NASDAQ: ADSK) salutes the hundreds of artists worldwide who collectively created close to 1,500 visual effects shots for this summer's action-packed movie "G.I. Joe: The Rise of the Cobra." Autodesk tools used to help create visual effects for G.I. Joe were Autodesk Flame, Autodesk Maya, Autodesk 3ds Max, Autodesk Softimage, Autodesk MotionBuilder, Autodesk Mudbox and Autodesk FBX software.
"Enabling creative collaboration is central to our software development strategy," said Stig Gruman vice president of digital entertainment, Autodesk Media & Entertainment. "'G.I. Joe' is a perfect illustration of the success of our strategy. The movie showcases the work of six extremely talented visual effects studios which used a range of Autodesk tools to bring this massive project together and deliver an astounding visual result."
Digital Domain (Hollywood) -- A crew of 175 worked for over a year to create 320 visual effects (VFX) shots for two major sequences -- a Paris chase scene that culminates in the destruction of the Eiffel Tower and a massive convoy attack. Digital Domain relied on Maya as its core animation, modeling, lighting, character scripting and rigging tool, and Mudbox for modeling sketches. Animation Supervisor Bernd Angerer said, "The Eiffel Tower was a huge model with extreme detail comprising millions of polygons. Using Maya, we were able to control this massive data load and get the work done. Maya is so strong in so many aspects, but the big winner is its openness to being embedded into a pipeline."

AutoCAD Mechanical 2009 tip of the week (Symbol Libraries)
Symbol Libraries
In addition to Welding and Surface Texture symbols, AutoCAD Mechanical 2010 supports symbol libraries for Dead Joint, Edge, and Feature Control Frame symbols.
The symbol library is readily accessible from the ribbon. You can create frequently used symbols directly from the ribbon. It is much quicker than displaying the symbol dialog box and loading the symbols from the library.
To create an edge symbol, using the symbol library
- Click the Annotate tab /Symbols panel/Edge Symbol drop-down.
AutoCAD Mechanical displays the edge symbols saved in the symbol library.
- Click the symbol to insert.
- Select an object to attach the edge symbol to.
- In the drawing area, specify the start point for the leader.
- Specify one or more points to define the vertices of the leader, and then press ENTER
