This interactive lab will be an accelerator that will teach BIM coordinators and CAD managers how to effectively use Autodesk Forma to manage civil infrastructure projects with modern cloud-based tools. We’ll take an immersive approach to learning: The class will be split up into disciplines, simulating a real project. The disciplines will work together to federate a project model using preprepared files. We’ll start with the basics of recommended file organization in Forma Data Management, set up our coordination space in Modeling, walk through best practices for exporting and coordinating discipline-specific models, run a mock clash-detection meeting, create/organize and report on our Autodesk Forma Issues, and then archive our project simulating a milestone submittal. Many of the default coordination tools in Autodesk Forma are built with vertical construction in mind. But there’s a world of value for horizontal construction as well—you just have to know how to unlock it!

AutoCAD software unlocks intelligent and connected design collaboration across people, devices, and platforms that will improve design efficiency and ease management of design projects. Learn how you can unlock this experience for you and your team by connecting the best of Forma Data Management—the cloud-based document management and common data environment—with AutoCAD.

You've seen how iLogic automation can tame tedious and error-prone tasks and make you and your fellow Inventor users more efficient. But have you also run up against the limitations present within the automation tools offered with iLogic? Have you struggled to take things to the next level and create Inventor add-ins? Are you concerned about having to start over? You're not alone. Making the transition from iLogic is a difficult transition for many busy professionals who want to take their automation further but find themselves sticking with what is known, what is familiar, and what is already in place. Join this session and other Inventor automation-focused users like yourself, and you'll discover a path forward that allows you to capitalize on the familiarity of your existing automation, while learning the landscape of the Inventor add-in.
