Navigation Tool for AutoCAD (http://labs.autodesk.com/utilities/acad_navigation_bonus/)

This tool provides back and forward display navigation within AutoCAD. The behavior is similar to back and forward navigation within your web browser. It basically tracks what you're looking at in AutoCAD. Any time you want to go back to something you were looking at previously, just hit the back button. Similarly, click the forward button to navigate forward again. The following items are tracked and added to the history while you work:

Active drawing switch

Layout switch

View changes such as zoom, pan ...etc

Active viewport switch

Viewport maximize/minimize

Ways of accessing this functionality:

Toolbar: Note back/forward arrows in the upper left corner of the AutoCAD window

Mouse: If your mouse has buttons that allow forward and backward navigation in your web browser, they can be used for this purpose in AutoCAD as well.

Keyboard shortcut: [ALT]+[LEFTARROW] and [ALT]+[RIGHTARROW]

Commands: NAVBACK and NAVFORWARD

The tool works with the AutoCAD 2008 and 2009 family of products.

STL Exporter for Revit Platform 2009 (http://labs.autodesk.com/utilities/revit_stl/)

Vendor description: STL Exporter for Revit Platform 2009 create 3D prints of Revit 2009 models. As architects and engineers start their digital designs earlier and keep them digital for longer, they want a way to still physically interact with their designs. With the economical availability of 3D printers this has become possible. 3D printed models increasingly serve as a critical part of the design process to study design options and improve communication between project members and owners.

The STL Exporter for the Revit 2009 family of products is a proof of concept project. It is designed to take a 3D Revit building information model and create an STL file that can be used for 3D Printing.
