Partially automate the process of transition.From points clouds to faces and solids.Can be provided in APIs, which means applications can use it as well.Can learn how you use your CAD system and adapt to the individual user.Suggests but may not take over it cannot make decisions in your place.In our products today, it is already used: It is today something we must have, as well.Īrtificial Intelligence is not only a buzzword, but it is important to study it, explore it, and use it. If you talk about something like Onshape that is completely in the cloud and you have no other choice, then this is something we have to follow, to see where the trends lead next year and in the years to come. Storage on the cloud for versioning, access rights can use DropBox but it is only for putting your things there it is better if you can use the features of a full-blown SaaS, and we can combine some technologies.No concessions on features must have the same features as on the desktop.Must be open for nearly every system you don't make it for your own CAD system, it has to be open to other systemsĬloud-based 2D-3D CAD like we know from Onshape where we work together with several people on the same model in your browser:.Automates recurring processes those boring processes where you can make mistakes when you forget to send things, make revision - they can be automated to be safe.

SaaS is a prerequisite for today's collaboration.Cloud collaboration was introduced several years ago by Autodesk with 360:.These kinds of patterns are very important for a company like ours, and as well as the whole community that surrounds it, for the 12 million users of DWG, for applications. Everyone was at ease with AutoCAD growing for decades, and all of a sudden it changes. Patterns in the CAD World When you observe what is happening not only in the CAD world, but in CAD and engineering, you can see patterns and evolutions that are different from the changes of the two, three decades before that. 3,200 applications are running on AutoCAD, and there are billions of DWG files out there. The unregistered users, we can only guess, but a substantial part is there as well. (There is more and more direct sales from Autodesk.) So, their strategy is no future role for DWG, no future role for partners.ĭon't forget that there are 12 million registered users. If those two directions are a winning hand, then there is no space any more for applications based on DWG. Mechanical is no longer DWG, it is Inventor with another file format.

AEC is not longer DWG as the main thing, it is replaced by Revit with another file format.

It is interesting to watch what will happen there.Īnother general thing you can derive from all these things that are happening around Autodesk is that there is a new direction: there is no space any more for DWG as a platform. Will we have, for every year for the same price, those 25 - or is there a change expected? There are a couple of things that are not real clear in that strategy. Nobody knows what will happen the next year. You are teased by 25 products that you can rent for a year. In whatever market you are, you get almost everything. There is a kind of collection of everything. If you compare ten years ago when new stuff was added to AutoCAD every year, that has changed. What they are doing now - they're no longer delivering AutoCAD anymore - it's about vertical suites. At the same time we have seen for the last years a kind of slow down in the development of AutoCAD itself. So, they are in direct competition with their partners. More and more they try to control these markets with their own brand, because such an application becomes their own brand. At that very moment, of course, they become a competitor to the rest.

In each market they make an acquisition of, say, one application developer. Bricsys CEO Erik de Keyser presenting the keynote at Bricsys International Conference 2016 What's Happening at Autodesk One pattern that we saw is that in the last decade Autodesk started to make acquisitions in their own partner network.
