Autodesk Announcement: DESIGN816

Something is coming from Autodesk and my guess is that it is design related.  Many Autodeskers have been teasing an upcoming announcement from Autodesk that will be made on the 16th of August 2011.  They aren't saying what it is but they have been blogging and Tweeting about it.  (Kate Morrical's AutoCAD LT blog has a post.)  Several Autodesk Twitter feeds have been Tweeting with the hash-tag #design816

AutoCAD's Facebook page has a banner on it that says, "The AutoCAD team is announcing something new.  Many would say it's long-awaited.  Even revolutionary.  Fans will rejoice..."

If you are interested, Autodesk has set up a page so that AutoCAD users can upload images and or videos on how you use AutoCAD.  Go to the link on their Facebook page or click here.

I don't know what it is.  Maybe AutoCAD is going to Linux!  Maybe Autodesk and their frequent partner HP are teaming up and putting AutoCAD on their mobile operating system WebOS?  (I have been begging for this.)

Whatever it is, Autodesk will make the announcement live on their AutoCAD Facebook page during a Facecast (That needs a different name.)  I don't know what it is but it seems to be AutoCAD related.  Well, what have I been waiting for from AutoCAD for a long time that I will rejoice about?  We will find out on the 16th.
