This learning series will demonstrate the development of 2D and 3D factory layouts using Autodesk Factory Design Utilities and how the performance of proposed facilities can be evaluated using ProModel. Beginning in AutoCAD, you will utilize the 2D representation and/or PointCloud of the existing facility and begin to develop the machinery layout using the Factory Asset Library previously developed in Inventor. Iterations of the proposed operations layouts can be synced to ProModel to evaluate the performance of production cycles.

The overall goal of this content series is to demonstrate the development of 2D and 3D factory layouts by leveraging assets from the Autodesk Factory Design Utilities. Learn how to create a 2D layout in AutoCAD using references to divide the overall layout into logical zones. It will also demonstrate how to use the Factory Design Utilities and the Asset Browser to locate layout components and generate conveyor chains. Finally, learn how to sync the layout to Autodesk Inventor to generate a complete 3D model, as well as sync back to 2D to amend the layout in AutoCAD.
