Welcome to FIRST 2011 from Autodesk

[inventor_phild]

All,

Yes, Autodesk Vault is now available for FIRST users. If you check the FRC Training material for 2010 you will find a tutorial on how to use Vault.

The KOP should be available today, the new site is taking a bit longer than expected to get up and running.

Let me know how we can help.

Thanks,

Phil

According to the FRC 2011 Game manual, the 2011 Autodesk KOP was supposed to be released yesterday, I wasn't able to find it yesterday or today. I searched the KOP archives and the 2011 Autodesk toolkit to no avail. If someone could link me to the KOP as well as the new blog, along with this year's award specs, it would be much appreciated!

Phil,

What all is included on the 7 discs that we got in the kit of parts? I saw something about system requirements being like a hundred gigs. So I'm wondering what all is included since I can download Inventor from FIRSTbase and need way less room than that.

Thanx,

David

Hey, how many activations do we have this year per team/user for each piece of software(inventor in our case)?

David,

I think you are referring to the software bundle you received in the Kit of Parts. This is your software for the season and includes Autodesk Inventor. At this istage, just install Inventor and the Content Center, you do not need AutoCAD Mechanical.

Many of the parts are available as Autodesk Inventor parts. They are located on the Student Community at http://students.autodesk.com/?nd=kit...lter=&x=38&y=9

Let me know if you have any questions. Enjoy the 2001 season!

Thanks Phil, I appreciate it! Also, what is the link to your new blog, and where can I find the specs to this year's excellence in design award (there wasn't much information in the game manual, as usual).

The BLOG and Design Award information are coming. The Autodesk FIRST site was due for maintenance on the weekend and as always with these things it had a few hiccups along the way.

Stay tuned.

On the Kit of Parts page, select 2011 for Year and enter Sprocket for Search.

The 3 sprockets will display and you can then download each of them.

Let me know if you have any problems with this.

Hi Phil,

Thank you (Autodesk) for providing vault this year. I wanted to set this up in the off-seasion but could not get my hands on it off the student community website.

Now that I have the vault disk I can move forward but I do not see a product key for vault or inventor or autocad for that matter. Are we supposed to get a key off the student website? I have downloaded my copy of Inventor and the latest key for this year but I was expecting a product key with the packaging.

Any information you could provide would be much appreciated.

Matthew,

I am checking on the procedure. I think it is as you stated. That is, you get the authorization from the student community. In the meantime you should be able to install with a 30 day temporary setup.

I was wondering if the 2011 game pieces are available in Inventor and why I am unable to remove one of the CIM motors from the CIMple box? The CIMple box appears to be one part, and I am not able to edit it.

Thanks.

Phil,

we recently ran into the snag that our school decided not to uprgrade the inventor software this year so we only have 2010. We cannot open any of the kop in this and need 2011. Will the disks that came in the kop allow us to download inventor 11' onto multiple computers? Also, were on the website would we get the keys for the vault? Thanks for the help.
