Per the November 2005 Cadalyst Magazine article " Autodesk acquires Alias..." page #12, Autodesk signed an agreement to acquire Alias within 4 to 6 months.
"Alias products will transition to the Autodesk brand over time....", Inventor and 3DSMax are mentioned but NOT Revit, I hope everybody involved in Revit Developing will make their best effort bringing some of those tools into Revit, and we all can stop begging for a not as good Accurender or VIZ or asking for MAX or Rhino organic modeling tools.
Vote for MAYA for Revit Users.
