Autodesk于10月5日开放了年度Autodesk University University会议，由于大流行，今年几乎再次举行，并向其建筑云建设管理平台引入了新的设计工具和增强功能。首席执行官安德鲁·阿纳格诺斯特（Andrew Anagnost）承诺，在他的开幕式开创性的主题演讲中，在加利福尼亚州圣拉斐尔（San Rafael）提供更多的Autodesk产品功能。

"[Forge is] a platform that allows you to access, search and analyze data easily no matter what product it was created in," he said.

这是一家曾经以将其项目数据保存在其创建的设计产品和文件格式中的公司（无论是修订，AutoCAD还是其他Autodesk产品）中的大胆承诺。Anagnost还表示，尽管Autodesk的单独产品是设计还是施工工具，尽管这些功能以新的方式在Forge平台中使用。

The company announced a new microclimate analysis tool in Spacemaker, a planning tool acquired in 2020. Microclimate analysis will enable developers, urban planners and architects to evaluate the thermal comfort of outdoor spaces quickly in the conceptual stage of design, the company said.

Info360 Asset, a new tool in Autodesk's wastewater design and management tool Innovyze has graduated from its beta period that began in July. Water system managers can use Info 360 to deliver and review inspections, assess conditions and model water system risks accurately in the Innovyze environment.

Autodesk表示，它与ESRI的合作导致了公司的两个云平台 - ArcGIS Online和Autodesk Construction Cloud，以结合建筑信息建模（BIM）和地理信息系统（GIS）信息。via Esri's new product, ArcGIS GeoBIM, which gives architects, engineers, contractors and other infrastructure project stakeholders a holistic view of asset locations, costs, issues, risks and timelines during planning, construction and operations.

In the Construction Cloud, Autodesk has created a Schedule tool in Autodesk Build to allow project teams to centralize schedule management and work from the most up-to-date activities and milestones to keep their projects on track. Office and field teams can share digital schedules, collaborate on updates as they happen and link documents, sheets, photos, issues, assets, RFIs and submittals to their communications for reference in the new tool within Autodesk Build.

Autodesk还表示，建筑云现在有200个合作伙伴利用合作伙伴卡和应用程序界面（包括Forge API）为想要简化数据管理并有能力做出更明智的项目决策的客户提供集成。借助扩展的合作伙伴生态系统，客户可以从安全，混合现实，分析和现实捕获解决方案到构建云中整合数据，并维护其项目信息的集中式仪表板视图，以便在更有上下文的情况下做出决策。
