Re: How do you feel about how the Auto desk award winners were deiced?

I definetly agree that how something looks or is packaged can help make a sucessful engineering product. I think that the controversy (at least in my team), is that the Inventor award is supposed to be for technical excellence. If Autodesk wants to include that a portion of each entry's score is based upon how well they've packaged their design (which I think is a great idea, as the world gets more globalised and more competative, we all should learn some marketing skills), that's fine. I think what we're having a problem with is that we're not sure whether we should be marketing our design, or even what criteria we're truly being judged on during peer voting, since everyone has a different set of criteria.
