    What is Autodesk Exchange Apps?

    Autodesk Exchange Apps is an online resource where you can browse and purchase Apps (including product-specific content such as models, training materials, and eBooks) – and is available to several Autodesk Products. You can download some items for free, and some for a price. Purchasing is handled via PayPal at this time. Purchases and downloads can be tracked online, or by using the Autodesk Exchange App Manager.

    How does Autodesk test and certify the Apps?

    Testing starts with the standard testing that is used for all Inventor Certified Applications. Once the App is shown to meet the testing standard, the App goes to the Autodesk Exchange Apps' Manager to give final approval before publishing.
