Congratulations to our dear pals at Instructables, just acquired by Autodesk! From Eric Wilhelm's message:



The Instructables community is incredible: you build, bake, and create amazing things, then share your projects and ideas with the world. I think it's great when someone builds a project using instructions from our site, but it's even more amazing when we inspire someone to start (or finish) that project they've always dreamed of. This has been my vision for Instructables: to have a positive impact on the world by giving passionate people great publishing tools to document their projects, and connect them to a community full of like-minded people…

Autodesk is a great cultural fit for Instructables. They make tools for creative people: they're the world leader in 3D design, engineering, and entertainment software. Even if you don't recognize the name Autodesk, their software has powered the movies you watch, and designed the cars you drive and the buildings you work in. Instructables will be the community arm of the same team that makes 123D, SketchBook, Homestyler, and Pixlr, which will help provide creative tools, inspiration, and services for all types of creative people.
