I work at Autodesk as an intern. Recently, they’ve acquired Alias, and they appear to be doing very well as a company.

One of the “intern appreciation” gifts I just received is a NFR (Not for Resale) version of Autodesk Inventor 10 Professional , valued at over $5,195.00 (version listed is R10, I received R10 Pro).

Very nice. Took some pictures.

Edit 10/17/2005:
Yikes, check out those preferred system requirements:

Preferred System Requirements:
Includes Autodesk Vault client
Large assembly design (more than 1,000 parts)

• Intel Pentium 4, Intel Xeon, or AMD Opteron™ processor, 3 GHz or higher
• Microsoft® Windows® XP (Professional or Home Edition, SP1 or SP2) or Windows 2000 (SP4)
• 3 GB or more RAM
• 3.5 GB free disk space
• 128 MB or more OpenGL-capable workstation class graphics card

I gotta tell ya, the test systems we use at Autodesk for QA don’t even have “3 GB or more RAM”, that’s insane.
