collaborate if they use different and variably compatible software platformsfor their design work. Our decision to work with Autodesk products is because the company isstriving to achieve compatibility and integrated workflows across the wide range of software intheir portfolio. Whilst it is possible to collaborate in ways not dependent on software, the realityis that the manufacturing industries that most of students will join in their future careers useCAD as the means of supporting and conducting their operations.Steps have been taken to correct this problem. Rather than expecting industrial design students tobe productive with Alias in a single semester, they can instead elect to focus on either Inventor orInventor Fusion as their primary
