Autodesk Alias supports concept communication, design modelling, technical surfacing, reverse engineering, real-time design visualisation and engineering development collaboration:
- Draw and edit with integrated tools. Capture lines, circles and ellipses with predictive strokes and more.
- Get more predictable results with new tools such as Freeform Curve Blend and View Filp.
- The 2018 release includes enhancements to Surface Fillets and Curve Planarise. Data Transfer now offers STEP AP242 standard and DWG import and export.

- Walk through a fast concept model workflow, from sketch to final concept model.
- Move your data easily between Alias and VRED software.
- Deck seam (similar to a flat fell seam) has been added to the Stitch and Seam tool.
- Access tools that help you to create mathematical shapes. For example, control pitch with the Revolve tool and more.
- Refit your digital model to the changed physical model.
- Make and ensure smooth transitions between surfaces.
