Interact with the Autodesk Community Tips moderators as needed.

Ensure your posts are in line with the guidelines published on this page.

Promote your Community Tips posts through your personal social channels. Use the hashtag #AutodeskCommunityTips.

Making your tips accessible, clear, and appealing is essential. Learn the techniques that will help your tips stand out and make a difference for the Community.

• Use clear and descriptive titles:
  • Keep it simple and be specific: the most important thing is to make sure that people know exactly what your post is about. “How I created character rigs in Maya” is more compelling than “Rig time”.
  • Include the product, feature, or topic you’re focusing on in the title.
  • Avoid using exclamation points, ellipses, or periods at the end of your title.
  • Write your title in sentence case: “How I created character rigs in Maya” not “How I Created Character Rigs in Maya”.
• Make the most of the teaser:
  • Keep it short: Write 1-2 sentences that summarize what your post is about.
  • Tell readers more about what they’ll get out of reading your post: what challenge are you solving? Which feature are you tackling? Which issue are you covering? What takeaways will readers get from your post?
  • Include the ability level(s) that the post is best suited to (if relevant), such as beginner; intermediate; advanced; a combination; or all levels.
• Make your content accessible:
  • Give your posts maximum impact by avoiding using jargon without explaining the meaning.
  • Spell out acronyms the first time you use them.
  • Be inclusive in the words and terms you use. Think globally, and if you’re unsure about a term, it’s best to use something else.
• Check spelling and grammar:
  • Use a tool like Grammarly or even Word before posting. Reading aloud also helps to spot mistakes. Having a friend or colleague review your post and give feedback is helpful too.
