Tools for fast draft surface creation, easy edge selection and trimming, and easier organization of large and complex models have significantly reduced the number of picks and clicks required in these everyday workflows.Interoperability
Industrial Design work is with freeform surfacing components as well as with detailing components that are done in a solid modeling package. The combination of both can be experienced using Alias Design for Fusion.This combination is an substantial answer to the use of SolidWorks in Industrial Design.Industrial designers create products to be manufactured. But the designer’s original intent can easily get lost in translation. Autodesk Inventor Fusion 2012 software bridges concept design and manufacturing, helping to preserve your design integrity. With improved sharing of your design data, Inventor® Fusion* expands the capabilities of Autodesk® Alias® software, making it easy to validate, repair, and get your models CAD-ready for engineering. The powerful data exchange capabilities of Inventor Fusion enable you to open .wire files directly from Alias software. Within Inventor Fusion you can quickly “stitch” together all your surfaces into a solid body with one simple command. Validating the integrity of your surfaces is practically automatic. If any surface is not within your tolerance range, Inventor Fusion will alert you. With your surfaces converted into solids, creating additional design details and parts is fast and intuitive. The solid modeling tools in Fusion employ the principle of direct manipulation. With the direct input and dynamic marking menus, it’s easy to add fillets, create shells, and split the body of your model into functional components. Assigning textures and materials to the components is also simple. And you can easily bring your CAD-ready model back into Alias to visualize your product in context with realistic lighting and shading. Inventor Fusion helps to maintain your design intent throughout the manufacturing process. So the product on the store shelf is exactly the product you envisioned.
Snapping of extension handles
The Goal was to reduce steps. Trimming of objects like front grills or vents can be a very time consuming work. Here an workflow improvement that saves a few clicks is essential.This improvement was on many customer requirement lists.Another significant boost to your everyday productivity is made possible by the newly improved methods for selecting trimming edges. Previously, you would have had to select each edge individually. Now, you can select all of these edges in one operation. This can be a major timesaver when you need to trim a lot of surfaces on a complex object. “I do love the selection box for trimming multiple surfaces/regions” - David Nikel , Hyndai USA
The Object Lister is the core tool for data management in Alias. We worked on Consolidating data organization functions, reduce dependency on horizontal layer bar.Improvements to the Object Lister tool in Alias 2012 help you to work more efficiently without the endless scrolling and clicking previously required when organizing large projects. Visual enhancements to the display make it easier to find and identify objects and layers properties. The Object Lister window can now be embedded in the side bar, freeing up your work area while still granting quick and easy access to the tool. Add, delete, and move objects in your layers faster than ever before. With drag-and-drop functionality, layer organization is fast and easy – even when working on large, complex designs. These enhancements also allow you to smoothly cycle through multiple design variations without interruption, which is especially helpful for reviews and presentations.
Users can do a design review with evaluation tools and the realistic environment without leaving Alias.Tell the story of your product design in context with real time, interactive 3D product visualizations. Autodesk Alias 2012 software features new geometric environments with built-in high dynamic range image-based lighting and reflections, making it easier than ever to create stunning product visualizations in realistic settings. Simply drag one of the new geometric environments onto an existing shader, and immediately a 360 degree scene appears around your model, giving you complete freedom to view your design from any angle in context. A simple interface allows you to adjust the scale and rotation of the scene, as well as the placement of your model in the scene. You can even automatically snap your model to the ground plane of the environment for fast scene setup.Notice that the surrounding environment is automatically reflected in the body and windshield of the car. Each of the included geometric environments comes with a matching HDR image that generates the lighting and reflections. This makes setup and rendering fast and easy. Because the lighting, reflections and shadows are separate from the background image, and fully customizable, you retain complete control of your scene.Four new geometric environments and associated HDR lighting imagery have been provided in Alias 2012. But it’s also easy to create your own environments. The multi-lister tool makes it easy to adjust scene properties, and the background and lighting images can be made directly from your own jpg, tif, or png image files. With Alias 2012 you can now view your model in the context that best suits your design.
Built to enhance the creative process, Autodesk SketchBook Designer 2012 is powerful software for design professionals and illustrators of all levels. Offering a new approach to digital illustration, SketchBook Designer boasts a unique hybrid paint and vector platform that Alias customers can use to quickly transform ideas into compelling designs. With powerful tools for exploring shape variations, symmetric design, color variations, and compositions, SketchBook Designer offers maximum creative freedom. It includes an advanced illustration toolset geared for tasks from freehand sketches and tight technical linework to compositing images for graphic communication.The hybrid paint and vector workflow offers designers a high degree of both control and flexibility. The paint tools give you the freedom to quickly capture your design concepts while the underlying vectors help you to edit your curves with precision and control. But the life of your concept sketch doesn’t have to end in 2D. Using real DWG format, you can export vector artwork from SketchBook Designer 2012 and bring it into Alias software as curve data. With Alias 2012 software, you now have the power to transform your 2D concept sketches directly into 3D product designs.*Autodesk® SketchBook® Designer 2012 is included with a license of Autodesk® Alias® Design 2012 and Autodesk® Alias® Automotive 2012 software.
This integration lets Autodesk offer a digital prototyping solution using two of Autodesk software components.Alias user know can use the advanced software rendering capabilities in 3D S Max and as initially planned, their polygon modeling capabilities.
Everyone who wants to establish a collaborative workflow between Alias and Photoshop and be able to import and save Photoshop layers within an Alias wire file will profit from this enhancement.
The Revolve surface tool in Alias 2012 now allows for complete control over the surface structure, making it possible to achieve A Class quality quickly. You can now create and use vectors, giving you a higher level of control over surfaces. An improved construction history makes it easy to switch between axis choices – this is especially useful when building 3D geometry to match an underlying concept sketch. Finally, the ability to chain select and box select significantly speeds up the modeling workflow in Alias 2012.

Support Rotate, Scale, NonPropScale, Move Pivot and PropMod toolsCV modification is the basic tool to create organic shapes in freeform NURBS modeling. A professional user needs those tools a thousand times a day.In v2012 the Alias team re-designed that workflow using the proved hot spot technology. With this a significant time saving will be possible.The hotspots now offer in one hotspot tools that where in previous version available in three different locations.Alias 2012 makes fundamental improvements to the technical surfacing process with dramatically easier to use, easier to learn modeling tools. Direct modification of Control Vertices offers an uninterrupted workflow, that not only helps to accelerate design, but also fosters greater creativity. With context-sensitive CV modification, you control the operation right at the point where you are affecting the geometry. With fewer distracting dialog boxes and less mouse travel, you can enjoy a faster, more intuitive design experience. And with proportional weighting of your CV modifications, you’ll master complex designs with speed and precision.

With this enhancements we provide flexibility for geometry output and repeatability for axis definition. Align is the “Ubertool” in Technical surfacing. This tool must be the best in the world.
The goal was to provide improved feedback, and to allow a planarization of multiple hulls across patches. Surface models often have many patches – the need to model each individually is the basic weakness of NURBS modeling. Alias 2012 offers more NURBS tools for working across multiple surfaces.When developing technical surfaces of Class A quality, it is necessary to avoid zig-zags between control points. In the past, creating planarized hulls was a time consuming and difficult task. Alias 2012 software maximizes your ability to control the flow of hull lines and fine-tune your surfaces… you can even work on the flow of hulls across multiple surfaces. With the maximum deviation and the original hull line geometry displayed directly on the model, it’s easier than ever to clearly understand the outcome of your changes. So you’ll be able to make better design decisions faster.
Life-cycle Assessment on WikiHelp Information on life-cycle assessment methodologies and techniques, accessed from a “Sustainable Design” tab in AliasStrategic partner, Sustainable Minds is providing content on sustainable design to enrich the ideation process for the industrial designers that use Alias Speaker Notes: Industrial designers are increasingly concerned about the environmental footprint of the products they create, and often think about sustainability as they are ideating about how to solve a customer need most sustainably. For example, they are determining not what kind of plastic they will use in the vacuum cleaner handle—they are determining whether to design a broom, a cleaning service, or a vacuum cleaner. At this crucial time in the design process, information about life-cycle assessment techniques and a link to a free trial of a screening level life-cycle assessment tool is a great first step at addressing this user group’s need for sustainable design information.
