5 Common Autodesk Knowledge Gaps That Slow Down Your Team

October 1, 2025 Matthew Kostura

When it comes to Autodesk software, even seasoned users can fall into habits that hold them back. Small gaps in knowledge may not seem like a big deal, but across a team and over the course of multiple projects, they add up to lost time, rework, and reduced ROI on your software investment.

Here are five common Autodesk knowledge gaps that Knowledge Assessments from IMAGINiT often uncover—and how you can fix them:

1. Overlooking Core Features
Many users stick to the tools they know, skipping over built-in features that could save hours.
Result: Slower work, more manual steps.
Fix: Assessments highlight underused features so training can focus on boosting efficiency.

2. Inconsistent Team Standards
One person models one way, another annotates differently, and suddenly collaboration feels chaotic.
Result: Errors, miscommunication, and delays.
Fix: Assessments uncover inconsistencies so teams can align on best practices.

3. Underusing Collaboration Tools
Cloud tools are powerful—but only if everyone uses them correctly.
Result: Versioning headaches and project bottlenecks.
Fix: Targeted training ensures your team works seamlessly in shared environments.

4. Inefficient Workflows
Some users take the “long way around” without realizing faster workflows exist.
Result: Extra steps, duplicate work, and wasted time.
Fix: Assessments reveal inefficiencies so teams can adopt smarter workflows.

5. Avoiding Advanced Tools
From automation to data-rich modeling, advanced features often go untouched.
Result: Missed opportunities for innovation and competitive edge.
Fix: Benchmarking identifies who’s ready for advanced training to take projects to the next level.
