Interview with Carl White and Anthony Graves about Autodesk CAM

Interview with Carl White and Anthony Graves about Autodesk CAM

If you are reading this, you are probably wondering what is up with Autodesk and their manufacturing program, especially after the recent purchase of HSMWorks. We got to see a preview of what the company was proposing at Autodesk University this past November, but it was little better than a teaser.

I am quite fond of a matured integrated Fusion 360 concept, with visualization, simulation, simplification, and CAM on board, riding a PLM / PDM strata. Notice I did say matured.

What is left unsaid is whether the product will be integrated into the company’s flagship engineering product, Inventor Professional. If so when, and how, and if not, what then?

I was introduced to Carl White in Las Vegas last year. Carl is the Director of Manufacturing Engineering Products at Autodesk. He was kind enough to speak with me on the record about their recent purchase and the new CAM features. He introduced me to Anthony Graves, Product Manager at HSMWorks, who joined in the conversation about the product specifics; well, sort of specific.

How to renew your Autodesk Subscription contract from Subscription Center

Scenario

As a Contract Manager, you need to view the expiration date of your Subscription contract and/or renew your Subscription contract online.

Solution

If you are a Contract Manager for your Autodesk Subscription account, you can find the expiration date for your Subscription contract and renew your Subscription contract from the Renewal Report in Subscription Center. The Renewal Report is available 90 days before a contract is due to expire until 30 days following the original contract expiration date. To avoid any late fees, it is important to renew your Subscription contract before the expiration date. http://usa.autodesk.com/adsk/servlet/ps/dl/item?siteID=123112&id=18152331&linkID=9242018&CMP=OTC-RSSSUP01
