What are the additional products available for
installation?
The following additional products are available to install:
■ Autodesk Design Review — Allows users to review, measure, redline, and
annotate DWG, DWF, and DXFx files without the original Autodesk
creation software.
■ Autodesk Inventor Fusion— Digital prototyping technology that unites the
control of parametric, history-based modeling with the speed of direct,
history-free modeling, enabling users to choose the modeling approach
that is right for the task at hand.
Note: To effectively install Inventor Fusion, you must install both the Inventor
Fusion product and the Inventor Fusion plug-in listed in the configuration
area. Click on the Autodesk Inventor Fusion band to reveal the configuration
area.
■ Autodesk Vault— Data management tool to track work in progress and
maintain version control in multi-user environments. It allows design
teams to organize and reuse designs by consolidating product information.
Users can store and search both CAD data and non-CAD documents.
Where do I customize my installation?
Click on the AutoCAD Mechanical band of the Install > Configure & Begin
Installation page of the Installer to reveal the configuration area. Optional
features are listed there, many of them pre-selected for installation.
What features can I customize?
Most features are pre-selected for installation with AutoCAD Mechanical.
However, you can de-select any feature you choose not to install or select one
of the few features that have not been pre-selected. To do so, you must first
reveal the feature tree, which is hidden when you choose a Typical install in
the configuration area. To reveal the feature tree, choose the Custom install
option.
