 PROFILE
Autodesk has designs on moving past the desks of engineers and architects. The company's flagship AutoCAD product (almost 40% of sales) is used by architects and mechanical engineers to perform design, modeling, and drafting. Autodesk has used acquisitions (most notably its 1999 purchase of Discreet Logic) to boost its presence in other markets, including multimedia tools for digital content creation, geographic information systems for mapping, Internet portal services (including Buzzsaw.com and RedSpark), interactive game production, and Web design. The company continues to leverage its products online, with a focus on adding collaborative functionality. About 60% of its sales come from outside the US.
