Last month, the first of the 2019.1 updates appeared for Alias, AutoCAD, Inventor, and Point Layout. As expected, that trend continued in August with much anticipated 2019.1 updates for Revit and Civil 3D. In addition to Revit and Civil 3D, we also see 2019.1 updates for Navisworks and Vault.
Beyond the flagship 2019.1 updates, we see more typical updates for many of the AutoCAD Specialized Toolsets (formerly known as AutoCAD verticals), and several Civil 3D add-on modules.
Studying the updates released over the last several months, we now have updates for most 2019 products. With that in mind, firms who prefer waiting until the first update is available for new products should begin thinking about their 2019 upgrade plans now. To assist you with your installation needs, our Autodesk Subscription Resources page answers many of the most common account management and installation questions our CADD Care team receives. Additionally, if you prefer not worrying about whether your license server is properly configured, our team of experts can take care of it all for you with our turnkey installation and deployment services.
