Software awards to Bluebeam, Content Studio, CL3VER and RTV; hardware to Lenovo, HP Sprout and SmartUse; services to Microdesk

NOVATO, CA, Jan 23, 2015 - TenLinks, Inc., the largest online CAD, CAM and CAE network, has announced the winners of Best of Show for Autodesk University 2014, recently concluded in Las Vegas, NV, Dec 2-4, 2014.

With an attendance of over 10,000, this annual meeting of users of Autodesk software is the largest gathering of CAD users in the world. More than 150 companies show their products in the exhibit hall, making Autodesk University an unequalled venue to see technology of interest to this community.

Twenty one of these products and services were nominated for consideration, and after voting, the Best of Show in Hardware, Software and Services have been determined and are listed below.

"Real experts - the power users - were asked to determine the best tools," said Roopinder Tara, CEO and founder of TenLinks. "We are delighted to present the most useful and interesting of those to users, most of whom were not able to attend Autodesk University."
