Autodesk, Inc.

In a continuing effort to speed install time for our customers, Autodesk has released Autodesk Inventor Professional 2014 with a subset of the Mold Design Metric Desktop Content library. This subset of the Inventor Mold Design Metric Desktop Content library includes all components necessary for the Mold Design Samples and Tutorials.

Additionally, Autodesk Vault 2014 products also provide a subset of the Mold Design Metric Remote Content library which contains the same components as the subset Desktop content library.

The three complete Mold Design Desktop & Remote Content libraries are provided separately via download for Autodesk Inventor Professional 2014 Mold Design. These content libraries contain all available Mold Design content.
