Broken Discs for Autodesk Inventor:
 
We've had some requests for replacement Autodesk Inventor software due to broken discs.  Please be extremely gentle when removing Disc One from the CD case.  It is a bit tricky to remove the disc but take your time and be gentle and the disc will remain intact.  We have reported this difficulty to our operations group so they can improve upon the CD case for future versions.

Autodesk Software Kits:
There are approximately 50 teams that will receive the Autodesk software kit without a cover letter or 2005 animation DVD.  These will be sent to you separately.  The cover letter is posted onto Autodesk Streamline under the "2006" folder, "Cover Letter/FAQ" sub-folder.  We apologize for this inconvenience.

Go Teams!
