SAN RAFAEL, Calif. — (BUSINESS WIRE) — February 10, 2011 — Autodesk, Inc. (NASDAQ: ADSK), the company whose software was used by each of the past 15 Academy Award winners for Best Visual Effects, announced Autodesk Time FX, a sculptural fluid, dynamic and interactive desktop clock, is now available on the App Store for iPhone, iPod touch and iPad.
