The Value of the Autodesk Community

[amanda.k]

Welcome to the Autodesk Community! You're now part of a community of over eight million customers and employees. The Autodesk Community team strives to connect our members and customers to the information and the expertise that they need. Whether it is in our Forums, online/in person groups or on Social Media, our aim is to bring our members together to have meaningful product or industry related conversations, make connections and find their people!

You might be thinking – that sounds great, but what’s in it for me?

Access to a community of experts. Not only is there Autodesk technical support, product managers and customer service participating in the forums, we have a solid community of Expert Elites as well that are always happy to solve a technical issue or offer advice.

Advice on Workflows, tips & tricks, & more.  Have you ever found out, years later, that there’s a trick that would’ve saved you hours on your designs and wished you would have known about it sooner? My browsing the forums you might just find a couple of these, or even better – ask! Someone might have just the solution you are looking for.

We’re everywhere – making it easy to connect.  Not a fan of the forums? That’s okay, we’re on Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter, Youtube, Instagram, WeChat – wherever you like to hang out, the Autodesk Community and our experts are there for support. Not only that – join our Group Network for in person meetups and networking all over the globe.

Easy to find, verified solutions to your questions. With hundreds of thousands of visitors to the forums daily, and hundreds of new topics on every product imaginable, there’s a lot of information! Take advantage of our “Accepted Solution” filter to see solutions that have been marked by users such as yourself to get you up and productive as soon as possible.

An easily searchable, thriving and active  forum of knowledge. With the thousands of posts, instead of being confusing to find what you need – it’s easy! Search by product and subtopic, join our Industry Communities for workflow advice between products and connections, or post a question for a fast, helpful answer from the community.

Special events with Autodesk employees and expert users. We’re just not about Autodesk University once a year anymore! (But, speaking of Autodesk University, registration is now open for the free, online event this year – we’ll “see” you there!). Join us for special contests, help events, Office Hours,– the list goes on! The Community is a thriving area with useful events happening on all community channels.

Contests, workshops and webinars.  Contests are the perfect opportunity to show off your creative side and imagine, design and create anything. Want to brush up on your skills? Workshops and webinars ensure you stay up to date on the products and their capabilities.

Access is free, no matter your subscription level. Students, educational users, trial users and subscription users – everyone is welcome. Subscription users find value in the wealth of information brought together in one place that’s easily accessed and searchable.

So what are you waiting for? Get involved in the Community today by posting, answering, sharing, liking, helping, participating, or joining in with the supportive Autodesk Community.

We’re glad you are here – see you around!
