AutoCAD Civil 3D and Map 3D Migration to Infrastructure Design Suites

Starting March 1st, clients with Map 3D or Civil 3D on Subscription will be able to upgrade to the Infrastructure Design Suite with no up-front cost. The only difference will be in the price of Subscription at time of renewal - you will pay the cost of the Infrastructure Design Suite Subscription. Autodesk is notifying contract managers of this option today.

This is a great deal since you'll get access to Raster Design, Navisworks, Storm and Sanitary Analysis or Infrastructure Modeler (based on Suite type) as well as your existing product. Map 3D clients can upgrade to Infrastructure Design Suite Standard and those with Civil 3D can move to Infrastructure Design Suite Premium. Again, there is no up-front cost for this upgrade and no action required to accept the offer. Anyone with Map 3D or Civil 3D and a valid Subscription contract as of March 28, 2013 will be able to get Infrastructure Design Suite from the Subscription Center when it is available.

If you would prefer to maintain your Map 3D or Civil 3D Subscription as a lone product, you'll need to notify Autodesk. Information on opting-out from the program will come via email from Autodesk.

To learn more about the Suites or to determine if this offer is right for you, contact your IMAGINiT representative.

Webcast Archive Update: AutoCAD Map 3D, Building Design Suite, and Autodesk Vault

Three new Webcasts are now available in the IMAGINiT Webcast Archive:

Overview of Vault 2012
The Autodesk® Vault family of products helps design, engineering, and manufacturing workgroups manage the Digital Prototyping process. Users can organize files faster, avoid costly mistakes, and more efficiently release and revise designs. In this complimentary webcast, get an overview of the Vault family and what's new for 2012. 

Going beyond mapping with Map 3D
In this one-hour presentation you’ll see how, within the AutoCAD® environment you already know so well, you can use free public data and images for planning and site feasibility studies. Then go from data to design and see how your whole organization becomes more efficient and productive in the design process

Building Design Suite Workflow Webcast
This one-hour presentation delves into the new Building Design Suite from a manager's perspective. We will discuss how having more capabilities at your disposal can help you win more business and make the most of your software and personnel investment.

All content is Free in the IMAGINiT Webcast Archive, but registration is required to view any of our recordings.
