Autodesk Factory Design Utilities is an integrated set of tools within the Product Design & Manufacturing Collection that helps designers create, visualize, and optimize production layouts. It provides a unique bidirectional workflow between 2D drawings in AutoCAD and 3D models in Inventor, ensuring that any layout change is automatically updated across both platforms. The software utilizes a vast library of "intelligent assets," such as conveyors, robots, and machines, which snap together to simplify the assembly of complex factory floors. Users can perform detailed clash detection and space analysis using Navisworks to identify potential installation issues before physical commissioning begins.
