Design with Sketchbook Designer

Formerly Alias Sketch, Autodesk has relaunch the application with the name Autodesk Sketchbook Designer and billed it as a Concept Design & Illustration Software.

In addition to the sketching capabilities and quality results that professionals have come to expect from Autodesk® SketchBook® Pro software, SketchBook Designer enables professional designers and artists to use a hybrid paint and vector workflow for concept design illustration and graphic communication. Within the intuitive, creative SketchBook environment, even new users can be productive within minutes.

SketchBook Designer is especially helpful for:

• Blank screen illustration
• Combining and composing images
• Graphic communication
• Concept design
  

Designers can also take advantage of SketchBook functionality directly within AutoCAD® software. Autodesk® SketchBook® Designer for AutoCAD® software adds fully integrated illustration, painting, and manipulation capabilities directly into AutoCAD:

• Leverage freehand drawing techniques with pen-based interaction
• Sketch directly in AutoCAD without using third-party software
• Manipulate and composite images to quickly create variations for richer communication
• Mark up and annotate directly on top of AutoCAD 3D geometry

Sketchbook Family of application also came in several flavors, from Mac and Windows version to Sketchbook for IPAD and Sketchbook Mobile for IPhone, Ipod and Android mobiles. see the difference on this table
