The serial number and product key for your Autodesk software can be found in a variety of locations, depending on how you obtained your product.įind Serial Numbers and Product Keys in Autodesk Account: Your Serial Number and Product Key are displayed in your Autodesk Account in the product tray on the Products & Services page and also again in the Software Download window. Entering an incorrect product key will result in activation errors for that product. Note: Please ensure you are using the correct product key for the Autodesk product and version you are installing.

The same version of AutoCAD is in both software packages but the product key differentiates one package from the other. For example, installing AutoCAD 2018 as a point product requires product key 001J1, but installing AutoCAD 2018 from the AutoCAD Design Suite Premium 2018 requires product key 768J1. This is annoying, but it still gets the job done faster than my previous method of individually opening up each part file to check it for the need to detail and then placing the view if required.Product keys are required for installation of Autodesk products and are used to differentiate products that are both sold independently and as part of a product suite. Switching back and forth between different selected parts will eventually cause it to load. However, the preview images often fail to load for me. The preview thumbnail in the QuickViews dialog box would typically be all I need to recognize which parts need a view and which ones don't. Not all of these parts need to be detailed (for example, a simple rectangular plate), because they are fully described in the parts list. Typically I will be using this to place the views of plates and other members for welded structures. I have run into one minor issue, which is very annoying for my intended purpose. I am just using the view placing functionality.

We do not typically use multisheet drawings, so I don't have a need for (and therefore haven't tried) the parts list sheet number listing. It makes it very quick to place views of parts from an assembly. I have just started using this add-in, but can see already that it is going to save me a lot of time on fabrication drawings.
