Design Data Named an Autodesk AEC Industry Partner

LINCOLN, Neb. — (BUSINESS WIRE) — December 6, 2011 — Design Data, a leading provider of 3D detailing and Building Information Modeling (BIM) software, announced it has been chosen as an AEC Industry Partner by Autodesk, Inc., a world leader in 2D and 3D design and engineering software for the manufacturing, building and construction, and media and entertainment markets.

"Together, our companies will leverage our collective expertise to not only enhance our existing products, but to create innovative products and support the work processes of the future," said Doug Evans, Design Data's vice president of sales. "We're looking forward to expanding globally and into new markets domestically through Autodesk's worldwide reach."

Design Data's recent release of SDS/2 Connect, an add-in for Autodesk Revit Structure software that automatically designs connections within the Revit environment, provides the foundation for the partnership.
