Autodesk University 2009: Annual CAD user event emphasizes cloud computing, analysis and virtual attendance

摘要

Autodesk University welcomed some 6,000 users, resellers and Autodesk staff to Las Vegas in early December. Through training classes and social events, the conference is aimed at heads-down drafters and modelers. In light of this, it was not surprising that Autodesk revealed little of what features we might expect to see in the "2011" series of updates due out next March and April. Instead, Autodesk executives talked in generalities about future direction, even as an Elvis impersonator crooned the company's standard disclaimer statement: "Don't make any decisions based on anything said at this conference."
