Check out the new Autodesk Labs  http://labs.autodesk.com

This is the new and in process public betas and R&D projects site we are using to get tools in the hands of Autodesk product customers and get feedback to help the tools and ideas mature. There are already 2 tools featured for download. We have some really exciting projects to launch there in the next few weeks so check back often. The lab in Autodesk Labs is a play on words as Autodesk is one of the few large companies that allows employees to take their dogs to work we came up with labs like Labrador retriever but also like a lab where we cook ideas up.

Autodesk DGNV8 Translator Beta
Easily share AutoCAD® DWG and Bentley MicroStation 2D V8 DGN files among engineers, architects, and extended team members.

Google Earth Extension Beta
Using the easy-to-use, wizard-driven interface, you can publish your 3D models from AutoCAD 2007 based products directly into Google Earth™.

Today I am stopping by the Autodesk road show event hosted by Autodesk training center and Reseller Prosoft and being held in Salt Lake City Utah. I will be attending the AutoCAD 2007 presentation.

My coworkers Lynn Allen, Nate Bartley and Heidi Hewett get the hard duty of attending the Hawaii AUGI CAD Camp. WAAAAAH :-)

Cheers,
Shaan
