Autodesk

Autodesk is a suite of software tools that give users the ability to design, visualize and simulate their ideas before they're ever built or created. Autodesk applications support 3D modeling and other engineering and entertainment industry practices, such as digital prototyping, building information modeling, digital entertainment creation, sustainable design, and interdisciplinary collaboration. 

Autodesk Education provides open access to more than 100 products – available to students, educators, and institutions globally. Students and faculty can download Autodesk applications for educational use only from the Autodesk Education Community website.

How to use Autodesk from home?

• HCAD NJIT students can now connect their workstation at home with the VPN to get an Autodesk License. Please see the VPN instructions here. 
• If you are still having problems or do not have an HCAD Software Image, please follow the instructions at the Autodesk Education Community website to obtain your own personal license. 
• For AutoCAD and Revit, you can establish an Autodesk Education account that is associated with your UCID email address. That will give you access to a 3-year license for AutoCAD, Revit and almost the entire Autodesk software catalog. The software can only be used for Academic purposes.
• If you're an HCAD student with an HCAD Software image and you cannot connect to the license service through a VPN, once an individual license is obtained, you can follow the following tutorial: How to change or reset a license for Autodesk software.​
