What is this?

• Product Screen Shots: Screen shots are the individual screen displays contained within Autodesk’s commercially available software products.
• Autodesk-Authored Product Documentation:Autodesk-authored product documentation consists of the printed or written material distributed with, and as an integral part of, Autodesk’s commercially available software products. In-Product Content, Autodesk Website Content, Autodesk Knowledge Network Content, and Design Academy Content are not included in Autodesk-Authored Product Documentation; refer to the applicable type of content.

Pre-approved Use: If you follow the Usage Rules, Autodesk gives you permission to incorporate Screen Shots and Autodesk-Authored Product Documentation in your materials for these purposes:

• - For Educational Purposes (whether in written or video form) such as:
  • Tutorials or “How-To” guides about Autodesk products & services
  • Training or demonstration presentations about Autodesk products & services
• - For Product Reviews
• For any other use of these types of Autodesk Content, see Other Content and Other Uses.

Usage Rules:

1. No Pre-Release Content - your materials may not use screen shots taken from products or applications that Autodesk has not yet commercially released, such as beta product versions, or from other products or materials that are subject to non-disclosure obligations.
2. No Affiliation - You may not indicate or imply Autodesk’s sponsorship, affiliation, or endorsement of your materials or your services.
3. No product logos or imagery from Product opening, booting, or log-in screens.
4. Only Limited Alteration – For screen shots you may:
   • highlight or label a portion of a screen shot to call attention to a specific instruction or to explain a function of the software from which the screen shot is taken.
   • crop or cut a portion of a screen shot to direct a learner’s attention to the function illustrated in that portion.
   • resize a screen shot in direct proportion to the original.
   For Autodesk-authored Product Documentation you may use excerpts or emphasize a portion of the content to direct a learner’s attention. No other alteration is permitted.
5. Added Commentary - You may add commentary or text analysis of the screen shot, or to the Autodesk-authored product documentation, as long as it is clearly attributable to you and not to Autodesk.
6. Attribution Required - You may not hold yourself out as being the author of or creator of any Autodesk Content that you have used. Use the following attribution statements in proximity to the Autodesk Content (or in such other location as similar attributions are provided):
   • For Screen Shots: “Autodesk screen shots reprinted courtesy of Autodesk, Inc.”
   • For Autodesk-authored product documentation: “© [year of copyright notice of corresponding product user guide] Autodesk, Inc. Reprinted with the permission of Autodesk, Inc.”
7. Trademark Requirements - If your materials include references to an Autodesk Product, show in plain text the full name of the product with corresponding trademark symbol at the first and/or most prominent mention (e.g., Autodesk®, AutoCAD®, Civil 3D®, Fusion 360®, Inventor®, Revit®, etc.) in the materials. Your use of or reference to any Autodesk trademarks should comply with Autodesk Trademark Guidelines for Use, and should include a trademark attribution paragraph that correctly lists all Autodesk trademarks referenced in your materials, such as, “[list the Autodesk trademark(s) used] [is/are] registered trademarks or trademarks of Autodesk, Inc., and/or its subsidiaries and/or affiliates in the USA and other countries.”].
8. Inappropriate Material - your materials may not be incorporated into obscene or pornographic material and may not, in Autodesk's sole opinion, be disparaging, defamatory, or libelous to Autodesk, any of its products, or any other person or entity.
