Is Publisher 2015 released?

I cannot find it anywhere. The UK download link redirects to the main page, the US site still allows downloads of 2013R1. My reseller has no idea, they can't see it in the subscription centre, I can't see it in mine....

Also, the feature list that we’ve all seen:

·         Model Refresh

·         Appearance

·         Custom Properties

·         Annotations

·         Publishing

There must be stuff missing from that list? If not, what have AD been doing all this time? After buying 2013/2013R1 which doesn’t work, I’ve waited all this time for 5 features that address none of the problems that I’ve been having.

AD - What's the crack or is this the shape of things to come?

The usual silence from Autodesk.

Saying that, if those listed are the 'major new features', it's hardly worth the download anyway.

[cts2013]

Very poor - in every way.

I'd even make do with a trial version seeing as my subscription centre is still not showing it.

August 1st today - nothing to show for it and no apologies from AD.

@ bowen192   - I totally agree - hardly worth getting  my knickers in a twist for the unmajor 'major new features' which won't fix my problems..

Having said that - we have had problems with Inventor 2014 not liking older models and, apparently, our in-house Inventor guru has tested Inventor 2015 and many of these problems have gone away. I wonder if Publisher will work better with Inventor 2015 created/ migrated models...

There is only one way to find out and, unfortunately, AD won't give us the tools to find out

Hey guys, We are working out the issues with the website, and this should be available to you very soon.  I'm so sorry for the delay to posting the trial version, and the delayed reply. 

Thanks,

Janna

What do you think? 

Seems to be handling larger assemblys OK, but it'll be another couple of weeks before I can really test it.

hi bowen192

I think it's going to be a while before I can find the time to properly test this. I did have a quick play the other day and I concur, it does seem a little better with the large assemblies that we use. However, I didn't want to post "it works" only to reply to myself to say "actually, no it doesn't"!

I've had to adapt my workflow around the fact that Publisher 2013/2013R1 doesn't work - to the point where I only use it on relatively small assemblies.

Out of interest, what version of Inventor are you using?

[bowen192]

We're on 2013.

We have 2015 in the box ready to go, but they've been waiting on Publisher.

So I've just had an email entitled:

"Did you get the answer you needed?"

In short - yes, but only cause I answered my own question.

"Your topic recently received a reply."

Correct, I replied to myself.

What a liberty!
