Autodesk Inventor Fusion for Mac Debuts

By DE Editors

The Autodesk Inventor Fusion technology for 3D CAD modeling is now available for download in the Mac App Store. The solution takes advantage of new OS X Mountain Lion capabilities to help increase productivity, according to the company.

Key features include:

2D Sketching: Start designs by using simple 2D sketch tools and control sketches with dimensions. Users can generate multiple shapes quickly with 2D layouts.

Direct Modeling: Users can more easily push, pull and edit to reach the final desired result.

Assembly Design: Designing in context provides users with information to help make better design decisions. Flexible assembly structure ensures that users can make changes at any time, the company says.

Cloud Storage: Store and share designs using Autodesk 360 collaboration service. Users can view designs on the go with Autodesk Viewers for iOS or WebGL-enabled browsers.

The solution can take advantage of new Mac functionality, including Notification Center, AirPLay Mirroring, and improved sharing via social media.

The software is fully interoperable with AutoCAD and Autodesk Inventor, and a variety of other Autodesk and third party CAD tools.
