Customers help development of Autodesk software

New users have been invited to assist in the development of the 2011 Autodesk product line through Customer Feedback Programs.

Over 20,000 members of the Autodesk Customer Feedback Programs played a key role in the development and beta testing of Autodesk's 2011 product line.

Autodesk is issuing an open invitation for additional customers to join and participate in the testing and shaping of future products.

The Autodesk Customer Feedback Program, which began more than ten years ago, is an interactive online community where Autodesk users can experience products before they are officially released.

Customer Feedback members were given advance access to the 2011 releases of Autodesk software including AutoCAD software, Autodesk Inventor software, Autodesk 3ds Max software and Autodesk Revit software, helping to improve the stability of these releases and address the needs of the user community.

Beta users also have the opportunity to test and influence the course of future products during the development phase and learn new features early, so migration to newer software versions is easier.

Beta testing is an important part of developing successful products as it provides a real world environment that is far more robust than any QA or lab testing process.

Autodesk welcomes customers on multiple platforms to participate in the Customer Feedback Program.

With Autodesk's increased offerings for Apple products, including Autodesk Sketchbook Mobile for ipod and ipod Touch, Autodesk Sketchbookpro for ipad, native Mac software including Autodesk Maya and the Autodesk Alias products, and new support for most other Autodesk applications running on Boot Camp and Parallels, users of Apple hardware are encouraged to join.

Customers can register and complete an online Community Profile at beta.autodesk.com/signup.

Members must agree to terms of a non-disclosure agreement to participate.
