Earlier, Autodesk announced an Assistance Program to help unemployed people in the CAD area. Now they have added a discount for new software to employers as well. The discount is for up to 30% on AutoCAD, AutCAD Inventor Suite, Autodesk Revit Architecture and AutoCAD Civil software.
Autodesk MyFeedback Portal and Forums Closing May 30th 2009
The current MyFeedback platform has grown way beyond its originally designed structure and Autodesk is looking to introduce a new Autodesk Feedback Community over the next few month. They are also reorganizing the management of Autodesk betas. Beta projects will be managed individually on the new community by each of the four Autodesk Divisions.
They will be retiring MyFeedback on May 30th 2009.
They will be moving future betas to a new Autodesk Feedback Community server.

Are you in manufacturing? Looking for some Inventor support? I just got an email from Bob Van der Donck, the Inventor Technical Lead in the Product Support group at Autodesk. He'd like all AUGI members to know about a new blog in the 'o-sphere.
“On May 1 2009, the Inventor Product Support Team has officially launched a new blog to the growing list on Autodesk.com.
http://blogs.autodesk.com/beinginventive
The purpose of this blog is to provide proactive support to both partners and customers based on the experiences we develop from issues coming in from the field. Our hope is that this will better equip both partners and users to solve their own problems as quickly as possible without the need to reach out beyond their web browser.
As the Inventor line continues to expand into more specialize areas it is more important than ever that we react to hot issues quickly and broadcast the lessons learned to help others. Our goal is to ensure our customers have the best experience possible with our Inventor family of products.”

Autodesk has announced the Autodesk Assistance Program. It offers free student versions of software so that you can get additional training in your field of work. Perhaps you were a laborer and want to move to the office? Now you can get the software to learn on and get discounts for training. Maybe you have already used Autodesk software, but additional training might help make you more competive when looking for another job?
