Alias studio tools book

Designers and Engineers Even Engineers use Alias tend to use the software as they learned long ago. At Design Engine, we help manufacturers get a different perspective using these very same tools by presenting new ways to think and new ways to explore design iterations. After all as humans, we are always learning. Call it empowerment. Call it education. Call it consulting. Automated workflows. Better collaboration. Product versions. Customer story. What's new.

So basically what you have to do is free-rotate the object, to get it close to where you want it, then open up the information window and then round-off the values. Its workable but its not what you would expect from a piece of software that supposedly costs 10X the amount AutoCAD does.

I dunno- for eyeballing it I use the free rotation which is pretty simple with the marking menus. If I want to make very precise adjustments I use the info window. For rapid, repeated integer adjusts I just use the command line and skip the buttons.

Seems like they have you covered. I don't even think about it any more- I use the tool that serves me. Having an adjustable preset of 5 degrees or something doesn't meet any of my needs.

I would be constantly readjusting the preset. But to each his own. I've been working with this tool for just about a decade now and still find it to be the perfect palette of tools for my pre-design work. I don't need fur or architectural elements and don't do much animation. For getting a concept across with dead accurate dimensions and still having a decently fast render engine without changing apps it is hard to beat.

WIth the Mac I can render multiple scenes at once and still continue to work on the model. My workflow is hugely improved over my XP days. I'd disagree with sweeping statements that "Alias is terrible". I've been using Alias since version 2. Over a very long period of time, one gets used to a digital tool so much that it becomes hard to drop it once one is very proficient in using it.

Why spend the time switching software, invest time and money for re-learning, if one can design almost what one intends? Over the last couple of years though, I'm becoming annoyed like other posters here that many very basic user interface issues are not addressed after 20 years proper TAB key functionality anyone?

Nevertheless, it's still my NURBS modelling application of choice, but nowadays having to succumb to: exporting. Probably, the automotive user base, different to the industrial design user base, has different needs and different software budgets; so ultimatively Autodesk does not need to invest to overcome Alias' shortcomings.

So, we long-time users either stick with it - and continue exporting data for specific tasks like China to finish our designs - or contemplate switching? I'd be interested to hear from other industrial designers with a long Alias history what they think. Notice: updates available for Apache Log4j vulnerabilities.

Autodesk, this software needs a major overhaul, it feels like it is stuck in the early 90's with user interface and the modeling tools are painfull. I keep circling back to this with each release hoping for improvement, but nothing.
