Autodesk Alias Sketch for AutoCAD Debuts on Autodesk Labs

By Laura Carrabine | January 26, 2010

Alias Sketch for AutoCAD Technology Preview enables you to take advantage of the power of Alias technology directly in AutoCAD software. Part of the Autodesk solution for Digital Prototyping, Autodesk Alias Design software is the industrial design standard for communicating designs easily via sketches, illustrations, photorealistic renderings, and animation. The Alias Sketch for AutoCAD Technology Preview provides fully integrated illustration capabilities to enhance the AutoCAD workflow, enabling AutoCAD users to use freehand drawing techniques and assemble multiple images to make a final image.

The Alias Sketch for AutoCAD Technology Preview helps you modify and create composite imagery, create blank screen illustrations, and make freehand markups on top of AutoCAD 3D geometry. In addition, you can communicate via illustrations as well as DWG files. For example, you can create artwork or import images on top of 3D geometry to graphically express the context of designs, something previously requiring multiple applications to achieve.

Autodesk is distributing a 30-day trial of Alias Sketch for AutoCAD Technology Preview on Autodesk Labs to engage you and solicit feedback on the technology while it is still in an early conceptual stage of development. Autodesk is offering the free* download of Alias Sketch for AutoCAD Technology Preview starting January 20, 2010. To download the Technology Preview, visit http://labs.autodesk.com.
