Autodesk Research Opportunities
Autodesk is sponsoring an opportunity for you to get involved with creating the new design direction for the Materials function in our products.
Autodesk research and usability studies focus on customer workflows and how people interact with software.
We conduct several types of requirements gathering and usability studies on an ongoing basis ranging from online software studies to site visits. The information we gather is translated directly into design and workflow improvements, so your feedback makes a difference that can be experienced in the products you use.
The following feedback opportunities are available:
· Contacted periodically for a quick question or feedback (<15 min)
· Survey (<15 min)
· Usability evaluation of software, prototypes, help systems, etc. (30 min – 2hrs)
· Focus groups (1-2 hrs)
· Site visit at your company (1-4 hrs)
You will receive a thank you gift for your generous participation.
Thank you for your interest. We look forward to working with you soon!

DWF File Viewing Comes to the iPad - Report
From Beyond the Paper
Judging from the amount of email we receive requesting the ability to view DWF files on your mobile devices, we think you'll be interested in learning about an iPad® app called McDwiff, by third-party developer Austin Silver Software.
Using the Autodesk Freewheel Web service, which requires an Internet connection, McDwiff enables you to open, view, convert, and print 2D and 3D DWF files on your iPad. (Of particular interest to some may be the app's Dropbox integration.)
For more information about the app, visit the McDwiff website. And if you try the app, be sure to leave a comment here to let us know how viewing DWF files on your iPad works for you.
McDwiff (and the Autodesk Freewheel Web service). Just another way Autodesk enables our customers to go beyond the paper!

3 Revit Server 2012 Installation Tips - Repost
From the Revit Clinic
Here are 3 quick tips when installing Revit Server 2012; you can view the entire upgrade process from our previous post here if needed:1. Don’t Install from the RevitServer.msi
The standard Revit 2012 installer contains the Revit Server 2012 installer under Install Tools & Utilities. This is the required method to properly install Revit Server 2012.
This main installer also uses a second .msi , which is stored on the media under x64\Tools\RevitServer\RevitServer.msi.
Under no circumstances should Revit Server 2012 be installed simply by launching the RevitServer.msi. If you do so the installation will not complete successfully and will be missing necessary configuration components.
2. To Configure Folders Click the Down Arrow
To configure the folder paths, click the triangle under Revit Server to expand the list:
This is also where you would toggle between a Local server and Central server.
3. To Continue After Configuration Collapse the List
You may notice Install grayed-out after configuring the folders; in order to continue simply collapse the list [click on the triangle again]:
