Dear Friends and Colleagues, What if you could review DWG, DWF, Revit and Navisworks files on-the-go, without the original design software? Better yet, what if in addition to viewing 2D and 3D files you could also add comments, information and suggestions for design changes by file or sheet for FREE on your iPhone or Android device? The app is called Autodesk 360 Mobile and if you haven't done so already, logon to 360.autodesk.com and create yourself an Autodesk 360 account then download 360 Mobile via Google Play or the Apple App store. Once youve done that, upload a document to the Autodesk 360 website access the app and take the tour, which give a great overview of Autodesk 360 Mobiles intentions and basic feature set.

Join Autodesk for this free webcast reviewing highlights and insights from the 2012 McGraw-Hill SmartMarket Report. Date: March 12, 2013 Time: 11:00 a.m. 12:00 p.m. PT In this free webcast, you'll hear Steve Jones, Senior Director of McGraw-Hill Construction, and Erin Rae Hoffer, Senior Industry Programs Manager from Autodesk, present highlights from the McGraw-Hill report on insights about the state of BIM in design, construction, and operations in North America. In addition, they will discuss and suggest challenges that BIM adopters are overcoming as they drive the industry toward the future. Hear more about

BIM after the Tipping Point and get the answers to these important
questions: How soon will all industry stakeholders participate in an ecosystem where collaboration and decision making are based on accessible "anywhere" platforms? Why aren't we moving faster to achieve the vision of waste reduction and outcomes-based decision making? What obstacles will we need to overcome to realize this vision? When work processes based on BIM represent the dominant approach to developing and retrofitting buildings, how will it transform industries?
