		<title>New Wood Materials for Autodesk Inventor</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
			
				
			
		
Paul Hinds over at hobbithouseinc.com has graciously agreed to allow the use of some of his wood images in the Materials Project here at the Open Design Project. I first found his images back when I first started using Inventor (and found out that it only had a few images in the stock material library). [...]]]></description>

		<title>Autodesk’s Punishes its Customers With New, Ill-Conceived Upgrade Policy</title>
		<description><![CDATA[..but penalizing loyal customers for not being as loyal as Autodesk would like them to be has a good chance at backfiring in ways that are not immediately apparent (to some). Forcing customers to pay half of the price of the software for a one year lapse in upgrading is likely to make customers wait three years or so until the penalty matches what they would have paid in subscription fees. ]]></description>

		<title>Going Against the Grain with Autodesk Inventor</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The image to the right is a good representation of how Autodesk Inventor applies materials that have grain direction. I have a lot more on the subject on the Materials Tab, but after creating the iLogic Rules for materials on this iCabinet project, and then seeing the results, on screen, I decided to reiterate here.  Inventor applies material color in the direction of the extrusion, with what would be the end grain being somewhat  of a crap-shoot. ]]></description>

		<title>Wooden Vanity Sink &#8211; True Environmentalism In Action</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I built this tiny little wooden sink back in the 80's or early 90's for my sister who needed a vanity that would fit in a small 16" or so deep recess in what was a coal bin converted into a bathroom. ]]></description>

		<title>Inventor Woodworking Co. StructureCraft Creates Roof for Richmond Olympic Oval</title>
		<description><![CDATA[While materials vary greatly from project to project, StructureCraft has earned particular recognition for its use of wood and timber in exposed architectural structures, which include the Olympic Oval and the Bridge of Dreams, a footbridge on the Trans-Canada Trail in Princeton, B.C. Wood structures present multiple challenges that must be addressed from design to fabrication, and Inventor software assists StructureCraft in the overall process]]></description>

		<title>Cabinetmaking With iLogic &#8211; A Modular Approach to BIM Integration</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This module would represent the bread &#038; butter cabinet of most any cabinet shop, and would be configured to match their particular build style and capabilities. In use, the majority of a kitchen design would consist of this same cabinet placed several times into a layout and configured to whatever it needs to be. Global changes to all cabinets can be made real-time in front of the client, or the client can configure it themselves on the Internet with a Web Configurator!]]></description>

		<title>iCabinet Progress Report</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This particular rules-based cabinet will be able to be configured into nearly any cabinet in a typical shop, therefore speeding up design times an any project dramatically. An entire kitchen can be designed right in front of the client’s eyes, and the output drawings and CAM information will be the touch of a button away. I'll be adding a Confidity interface shortly, so stay tuned for updates!]]></description>

		<title>Autodesk Project Butterfly Cloud Computing Update 2</title>

They did come, but they were sent to the junk email folder --probably because the email message below...]]></description>

		<title>MasterGraphics Pledges $15,000 in Scholarship Donations</title>
		<description><![CDATA[MasterGraphics and Autodesk are committed to inspiring the next generation of innovators through the support of Project Lead the Way (PLTW), a non-profit organization dedicated to the advancement of pre-engineering instruction for middle- and high-school students. Participating schools place an emphasis on science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) education with dynamic pre-engineering courses that employ rigorous project-based curricula. More than 500,000 students at nearly 3,500 schools have taken part in PLTW classes. PLTW hopes to reach more than 1,000,000 students each year by growing to 10,000 implementations by the 2015-16 school year.]]></description>
