Autodesk 123D includes several new choices for backgrounds. (Source: Autodesk)įile format support-Open and Save IGES Open STL Open and Save DXF mesh data export in STL Save As VRML for connecting to color 3D printers īackgrounds-Several new background settings, known as “Environments” in Autodesk 123D. The new release of Autodesk 123D adds four primitive solids and allows for Boolian Combine. The Polyhedron is especially useful in that it allows the user to create Platonic, Catalan, Archimedean and Kepler solids.
More 3D primitives-There are four new interactive 3D primitives in Autodesk 123: Pyramid, Wedge, Cone, and Polyhedron. (Source: Autodesk) Other new featuresĪlso in the new release of Autodesk 123D: This software provides a comprehensive tool box set for creating animated 3D models.
Autodesk 3ds Max Design 2009 32-bit 11.1 is a piece of software we can buy, and/or evaluate for free by downloading from the developers website. Autodesk 123D now supports creating 2D sheets, useful for printing and creating documentation. Autodesk 3ds Max Design 2009 32-bit v.11.5.2.324. “Save AS DWG”saves only 3D entities “Publish to DWG” publishes the 2D layout sheet. The intended workflow for creating final 2D sheets is to create a 2D Sheet in 123D, then publish it using the Publish function to either AutoCAD WS or to AutoCAD DWG, making it possible to add text, dimensions or otherwise edit the drawing. The new Publish options allow 123D users to share their work, by publishing directly to the cloud-based AutoCAD WS or into the DWG format, the AutoCAD native file format also read by a wide variety of other graphics programs. The new release of Autodesk 123D can create a drawing sheet from a 3D model. (For product background, see “ Autodesk believes the revolution will be printed in 3D.”) The free download is available in both 32-bit and 64-bit versions for computers running Windows Vista or higher. This is the fifth update to Autodesk 123D since it was released in May of this year.
