I have seen a number of users being guilty of “serial clicking” updates without knowing what they are. Only install those add-ins or updates you need I usually leave Navisworks until last, as it will also install the exporters for all of the products. AutoCAD first, then it’s verticals (Plant 3D, Civil 3D), then any products that plug into AutoCAD (CADmep, Vehicle Tracking), then standalone products like Revit and InfraWorks.

Every year with the release of the new versions of Autodesk products, I have a bit of a spring clean on my PC, uninstall the old versions and install the new.Īfter many years of doing this, I thought I would put together some tips on this process and some of the things to think about.
