| Business and Summary Of Significant Accounting Policies | Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Business Autodesk, Inc. (“Autodesk” or the “Company”) is a world leading design software and services company, offering customers productive business solutions through powerful technology products and services. The Company serves customers in the architecture, engineering and construction; manufacturing; and digital media and entertainment industries. The Company’s sophisticated software products enable its customers to experience their ideas before they are real by allowing them to imagine, design, and create their ideas and to visualize, simulate and analyze real-world performance early in the design process by creating digital prototypes. These capabilities allow Autodesk’s customers to optimize and improve their designs, help save time and money, improve quality and foster innovation. Autodesk software products are sold globally, both directly to customers and through a network of resellers and distributors. Principles of Consolidation The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Autodesk and its wholly-owned and majority-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in Autodesk’s consolidated financial statements and notes thereto. These estimates are based on information available as of the date of the consolidated financial statements. On a regular basis, management evaluates these estimates and assumptions. Actual results may differ materially from these estimates. Examples of significant estimates and assumptions made by management involve the determination of the fair value of acquired assets and liabilities, goodwill, financial instruments, long-lived assets and other intangible assets, the realizability of deferred tax assets and the fair value of stock awards (see “Stock-based Compensation Expense” within this Note 1 and Note 3 “Employee and Director Stock Plans” for further discussion). The Company also makes assumptions, judgments and estimates in determining the accruals for uncertain tax positions, variable compensation, partner incentive programs, product returns reserves, allowances for doubtful accounts, asset retirement obligations and legal contingencies. Foreign Currency Translation The assets and liabilities of Autodesk’s foreign subsidiaries are translated from their respective functional currencies into U.S. dollars at the rates in effect at the balance sheet date, and revenue and expense amounts are translated at weighted average rates during the period. Foreign currency translation adjustments are recorded as other comprehensive income (loss). Gains and losses realized from foreign currency transactions, those transactions denominated in currencies other than the foreign subsidiary’s functional currency, are included in interest and other income, net. Derivative Financial Instruments Under its risk management strategy, Autodesk uses derivative instruments to manage its short-term exposures to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates which exist as part of ongoing business operations. Autodesk’s general practice is to hedge a majority of transaction exposures denominated in euros, Japanese yen, Swiss francs, British pounds, Canadian dollars, and Australian dollars. These instruments have maturities between one to 12 months in the future. Autodesk does not enter into any derivative instruments for trading or speculative purposes. The bank counterparties in all contracts expose Autodesk to credit-related losses in the event of their nonperformance. However, to mitigate that risk, Autodesk only contracts with counterparties who meet the Company’s minimum requirements under its counterparty risk assessment process. Autodesk monitors ratings, credit spreads and potential downgrades on at least a quarterly basis. Based on Autodesk’s on-going assessment of counterparty risk, the Company will adjust its exposure to various counterparties. Autodesk generally enters into master netting arrangements, which reduce credit risk by permitting net settlement of transactions with the same counterparty. However, Autodesk does not have any master netting arrangements in place with collateral features. Autodesk accounts for its derivative instruments as either assets or liabilities on the balance sheet and carries them at fair value. Gains and losses resulting from changes in fair value are accounted for depending on the use of the derivative and whether it is designated and qualifies for hedge accounting. Derivatives that do not qualify for hedge accounting are adjusted to fair value through earnings. See Note 2, "Financial Instruments" for information regarding Autodesk's hedging activities. Cash and Cash Equivalents Autodesk considers all highly liquid investments with insignificant interest rate risk and remaining maturities of three months or less at the date of purchase to be cash equivalents. Cash equivalents are recorded at cost, which approximates fair value. Marketable Securities Marketable securities are stated at fair value. Marketable securities maturing within one year that are not restricted are classified as current assets. Autodesk determines the appropriate classification of its marketable securities at the time of purchase and re-evaluates such classification as of each balance sheet date. Autodesk carries all “available-for-sale securities” at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses, net of tax, reported in stockholders’ equity until disposition or maturity. Autodesk carries all “trading securities” at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses, recorded in “Interest and other income, net” in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations. All of Autodesk’s marketable securities are subject to a periodic impairment review. The Company recognizes an impairment charge when a decline in the fair value of its investments below the cost basis is judged to be other-than-temporary. Autodesk considers various factors in determining whether to recognize an impairment charge, including the length of time and extent to which the fair value has been less than Autodesk’s cost basis, the financial condition and near-term prospects of the investee, and Autodesk’s intent and ability to hold the investment for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in the market value. Autodesk did not record any other-than temporary impairment charges during fiscal years ended 2013, 2012 and 2011. For additional information, see “Concentration of Credit Risk” within this Note 1 and Note 2, “Financial Instruments.” Accounts Receivable, Net Accounts receivable, net, consisted of the following as of January 31:
____________________
Allowances for uncollectible trade receivables are based upon historical loss patterns, the number of days that billings are past due and an evaluation of the potential risk of loss associated with problem accounts. The product returns reserves are based on historical experience of actual product returns, estimated channel inventory levels, the timing of new product introductions, channel sell-in for applicable markets and other factors. Partner program and other obligations are primarily related to partner incentives that use quarterly attainment monetary rewards to motivate distributors and resellers to achieve mutually agreed upon business goals in a specified time period. Concentration of Credit Risk Autodesk places its cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities in highly liquid instruments with, and in the custody of, financial institutions with high credit ratings and limits the amounts invested with any one institution, type of security and issuer. Geographical concentrations of consolidated cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities held by Autodesk as of January 31:
Autodesk's primary commercial banking relationship is with Citibank and its global affiliates (“Citibank”). The Company's cash and cash equivalents are held by diversified financial institutions globally. Citicorp USA, Inc., an affiliate of Citibank, is one of the lead lenders and agent in the syndicate of Autodesk's $400.0 million line of credit facility. Autodesk’s accounts receivable are derived from sales to a large number of resellers, distributors and direct customers in the Americas; EMEA; and APAC geographies. Autodesk performs ongoing evaluations of these partners' financial condition and limits the amount of credit extended when deemed necessary, but generally does not require collateral from such parties. Total sales to the Company's largest distributor Tech Data Corporation, and its global affiliates (“Tech Data”), accounted for 23%, 17% and 16% of Autodesk's net revenue for fiscal years ended 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively. The majority of the net revenue from sales to Tech Data relates to Autodesk's Platform Solutions and Emerging Business ("PSEB") segment and is for sales made outside of the United States. In addition, Tech Data accounted for 23% and 21% of trade accounts receivable at January 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. In October 2011, Tech Data purchased certain assets of Mensch and Maschine Software (“MuM”), which had been a distributor of Autodesk's products in Europe. The acquisition concentrated additional sales through Tech Data, which on a consolidated basis would have accounted for 21% and 22% of Autodesk's net revenue for fiscal years 2012 and 2011, if the acquisition had taken place at the beginning of fiscal 2011. Computer Equipment, Software, Furniture and Leasehold Improvements, Net Computer equipment, software and furniture are depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which range from three to five years. Leasehold improvements are amortized on a straight-line basis over the shorter of their estimated useful lives or the lease term. Depreciation expense was $45.6 million in fiscal 2013, $43.7 million in fiscal 2012 and $47.6 million in fiscal 2011. Computer equipment, software, furniture, leasehold improvements and the related accumulated depreciation at January 31 were as follows:
Costs incurred for computer software developed or obtained for internal use are capitalized for application development activities, if material, and immediately expensed for preliminary project activities and post-implementation activities. These capitalized costs are amortized over the software’s expected useful life, which is generally three years. During fiscal 2013, Autodesk wrote-off $83.9 million of fully depreciated assets. Software Development Costs Software development costs incurred prior to the establishment of technological feasibility are included in research and development expenses. Autodesk defines establishment of technological feasibility as the completion of a working model. Software development costs incurred subsequent to the establishment of technological feasibility through the period of general market availability of the products are capitalized and generally amortized over a one year period, if material. Autodesk had no capitalized software development costs at January 31, 2013 and January 31, 2012. Other Intangible Assets, Net Other intangible assets include purchased technologies, customer relationships, trade names and the related accumulated amortization. These assets are shown as “Purchased technologies, net” and as part of “Other assets” in the Consolidated Balance Sheet. The majority of Autodesk’s other intangible assets are amortized to expense over the estimated economic life of the product, which ranges from one to ten years. Amortization expense for purchased technologies, customer relationships, trade names, patents, and user lists was $82.0 million in fiscal 2013, $71.8 million in fiscal 2012 and $57.8 million in fiscal 2011. Other intangible assets and related accumulated amortization at January 31 were as follows:
____________________
The weighted average amortization period for purchased technologies, customer relationships and trade names during fiscal 2013 was 4.9 years. Expected future amortization expense for purchased technologies, customer relationships and trade names for each of the fiscal years ended thereafter is as follows:
Goodwill Goodwill consists of the excess of cost over the fair value of net assets acquired in business combinations. Autodesk assigns goodwill to the reportable segment associated with each business combination, and tests goodwill for impairment annually in its fourth fiscal quarter or more often if circumstances indicate a potential impairment. For purposes of the goodwill impairment test, a reporting unit is an operating segment or one level below. Autodesk's operating segments are aligned with the management principles of Autodesk's business. In September 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standard Update ("ASU") 2011-08 regarding Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 350 “Intangibles – Goodwill and Other. Autodesk adopted the provisions of ASU 2011-08 for its annual goodwill impairment test performed in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2013. This update gives companies the option to first perform a qualitative assessment to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount before performing the two-step goodwill impairment test mandated prior to the update. Companies are not required to perform the qualitative assessment and may instead proceed directly to the first step of the two-part test. In performing the qualitative assessments, Autodesk must consider events and circumstances, including but not limited to, macroeconomic conditions, industry and market considerations, cost factors, overall financial performance, changes in management or key personnel, changes in strategy, changes in customers, changes in the composition or carrying amount of a reporting unit's net assets and changes in the price of Autodesk's common stock. If, after assessing the totality of events or circumstances, it is determine that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is greater than its carrying amount, then the two-step goodwill impairment test is not performed. If the two-step impairment test is necessary, Autodesk uses discounted cash flow models which include assumptions regarding projected cash flows. Variances in these assumptions could have a significant impact on Autodesk's conclusion as to whether goodwill is impaired, or the amount of any impairment charge. Impairment charges, if any, result from instances where the fair values of net assets associated with goodwill are less than their carrying values. The process of evaluating the potential impairment of goodwill is subjective and requires significant judgment at many points during the analysis. The value of Autodesk's goodwill could also be impacted by future adverse changes such as: (i) declines in Autodesk's actual financial results, (ii) a sustained decline in Autodesk's market capitalization, (iii) significant slowdown in the worldwide economy or the industries Autodesk serves, or (iv) changes in Autodesk's business strategy or internal financial results forecasts. For the fiscal 2013 annual goodwill impairment testing, Autodesk had four reporting units: PSEB, Manufacturing ("MFG"), Architecture, Engineering and Construction ("AEC") and Media and Entertainment ("M&E"). Autodesk assessed qualitative factors to determine whether the existence of events or circumstances leads to a determination that it is more likely than not that the fair value of Autodesk's PSEB, MFG, and AEC reporting units was less than the reporting units' carrying amount. Autodesk determined, after assessing the totality of the events and circumstances described above, that it was more likely than not that the fair value of each of the PSEB, MFG, and AEC reporting units was greater than the carrying amount for such reporting unit. Accordingly, there was no indication of impairment and the two-step goodwill impairment test was not performed for these reporting units. For the M&E reporting unit, Autodesk deemed the two-step impairment test was necessary and used a discounted cash flow model which included assumptions regarding projected cash flows. Based on this testing, Autodesk determined that there was no impairment of goodwill for the M&E reporting unit during the year ended January 31, 2013. In addition, Autodesk did not recognize any goodwill impairment losses in fiscal 2012 or 2011. The change in the carrying amount of goodwill during the year ended January 31, 2013 is as follows:
The change in the carrying amount of goodwill during the year ended January 31, 2012 is as follows:
Purchase accounting adjustments reflect revisions made to the Company’s preliminary purchase price allocations during fiscal 2013 and 2012. Impairment of Long-Lived Assets At least annually or more frequently as circumstances dictate Autodesk reviews its long-lived assets for impairment whenever impairment indicators exist. Autodesk continually monitors events and changes in circumstances that could indicate the carrying amounts of its long-lived assets may not be recoverable. When such events or changes in circumstances occur, Autodesk assesses recoverability of these assets. Recoverability is measured by comparison of the carrying amounts of the assets to the future undiscounted cash flows the assets are expected to generate. If the long-lived assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is equal to the amount by which the carrying value of the assets exceeds its fair market value. There was no impairment of long-lived assets during the years ended January 31, 2013 and 2012. In addition to the recoverability assessments, Autodesk routinely reviews the remaining estimated useful lives of its long-lived assets. Any reduction in the useful life assumption will result in increased depreciation and amortization expense in the quarter when such determinations are made, as well as in subsequent quarters. Deferred Tax Assets Deferred tax assets arise primarily from tax credits, net operating losses, and timing differences for reserves, accrued liabilities, stock options, purchased technologies and capitalized intangibles, partially offset by the establishment of U.S. deferred tax liabilities on unremitted earnings from certain foreign subsidiaries, deferred tax liabilities associated with tax method change on advance payments, and a valuation allowance against California and Canadian deferred tax assets. They are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to reverse. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce gross deferred tax assets to the amount “more likely than not” expected to be realized. Revenue Recognition Autodesk recognizes revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred or services have been rendered, the price is fixed or determinable, and collection is probable. For multiple element arrangements containing only software and software-related elements, Autodesk allocates the sales price among each of the deliverables using the residual method, under which revenue is allocated to undelivered elements based on their vendor-specific objective evidence (“VSOE”) of fair value. VSOE is the price charged when an element is sold separately or a price set by management with the relevant authority. If Autodesk does not have VSOE of an undelivered software license, revenue recognition is deferred on the entire sales arrangement until all elements for which Autodesk does not have VSOE are delivered. If Autodesk does not have VSOE for undelivered maintenance or services, the revenue for the arrangement is recognized over the longest contractual service period in the arrangement. Revenue recognition for significant lines of business is discussed further below. For multiple elements arrangements involving non-software elements, including cloud subscription services, our revenue recognition policy is based upon the accounting guidance contained in ASC 605, Revenue Recognition. For these arrangements, we first allocate the total arrangement consideration based on the relative selling prices of the software group of elements as a whole and to the non-software elements. We then further allocate consideration within the software group to the respective elements within that group using the residual method as described above. Autodesk exercises judgment and uses estimates in connection with the determination of the amount of revenue to be recognized in each accounting period. Autodesk’s assessment of likelihood of collection is also a critical element in determining the timing of revenue recognition. If collection is not probable, the revenue will be deferred until the earlier of when collection is deemed probable or cash is received. License and other revenue are comprised of two components: (1) all forms of product license revenue and (2) other revenue: (1) All Forms of Product License Revenue Product license revenue includes: software license revenue from the sale of new seat licenses, upgrades, product revenue for Creative Finishing and revenue from cloud subscription services. Autodesk’s existing customers who are using a currently supported version of a product can upgrade to the latest release of the product by paying a separate fee at current available prices. An existing customer also has the option to upgrade to a different product, which generally has a higher price, for a premium fee. Autodesk’s product license revenue from distributors and resellers is generally recognized at the time title to Autodesk’s product passes to the distributor or reseller, provided all other criteria for revenue recognition are met. Autodesk establishes reserves for product returns based on historical experience of actual product returns, estimated channel inventory levels, the timing of new product introductions, channel sell-in for applicable markets and other factors. These reserves are recorded as a direct reduction of revenue and accounts receivable at the time the related revenue is recognized. Revenues for Autodesk's cloud subscription services are recognized ratably over the contract term commencing with the date the service is made available to the customer and all other revenue recognition criteria have been satisfied. (2) Other Revenue Other revenue includes revenue from consulting, training, Autodesk Developers Network and Creative Finishing customer support, and is recognized over time, as the services are performed. Maintenance revenue consists of revenue from the Company’s maintenance program. Under this program, customers are eligible to receive unspecified upgrades when-and-if-available, downloadable training courses and on-line support. Autodesk recognizes maintenance revenue from its maintenance program ratably over the maintenance service contract periods. Taxes Collected from Customers Autodesk nets taxes collected from customers against those remitted to government authorities in the consolidated financial statements. Accordingly, taxes collected from customers are not reported as revenue. Shipping and Handling Costs Shipping and handling costs are included in cost of revenue for all periods presented. Stock-based Compensation Expense On the date of grant, Autodesk measures the fair value of all stock-based payments (including grants of stock options, employee stock purchases related to the employee stock purchase plan (“ESP Plan”), and restricted stock units) to employees and directors and records the related expense in Autodesk’s Consolidated Statements of Operations. Share-based compensation cost for stock options and employee stock purchases related to the ESP Plan ("stock-based awards") are estimated at the grant date based on the fair-value as calculated using the Black-Scholes-Merton (“BSM”) option-pricing model. Share-based compensation cost for restricted stock units is measured based on the closing fair market value of the Company's common stock on the date of grant. The estimated fair value of stock-based awards and restricted stock is amortized to expense on a straight-line basis over the awards’ vesting period. The following table summarizes stock-based compensation expense for fiscal 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively, as follows:
Autodesk uses the BSM option-pricing model to estimate the fair value of stock-based awards based on the following assumptions:
Autodesk estimates expected volatility for stock-based awards based on the average of the following two measures. The first is a measure of historical volatility in the trading market for the Company’s common stock, and the second is the implied volatility of traded forward call options to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock. Autodesk estimates the expected life of stock-based awards using both exercise behavior and post-vesting termination behavior as well as consideration of outstanding options. Autodesk did not pay cash dividends in fiscal 2013, 2012 or 2011 and does not anticipate paying any cash dividends in the foreseeable future. Consequently, an expected dividend yield of zero is used in the BSM option pricing model. The risk-free interest rate used in the BSM option pricing model for stock-based awards is the historical yield on U.S. Treasury securities with equivalent remaining lives. Autodesk only recognizes expense for the stock-based awards that are ultimately expected to vest. Therefore, Autodesk has developed an estimate of the number of awards expected to cancel prior to vesting (“forfeiture rate”). The forfeiture rate is estimated based on historical pre-vest cancellation experience, and is applied to all stock-based awards. The Company estimates forfeitures at the time of grant and revises those estimates in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates. Advertising Expenses Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. Total advertising expenses incurred were $15.6 million in fiscal 2013, $21.3 million in fiscal 2012 and $18.8 million in fiscal 2011. Net Income Per Share Basic net income per share is computed based on the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the period, excluding stock options and restricted stock units. Diluted net income per share is computed based upon the weighted average shares of common shares outstanding for the period and potentially dilutive common shares, including the effect of stock options and restricted stock units under the treasury stock method. Accounting Standards in Fiscal 2013 With the exception of those discussed below, there have been no recent changes in accounting pronouncements issued by the FASB or adopted by the Company during the fiscal year ended January 31, 2013, that are of significance, or potential significance, to the Company. Accounting Standards Adopted In September 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-8 regarding ASC Topic 350 “Intangibles – Goodwill and Other.” This ASU allows for the option to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether the existence of events or circumstances leads to a determination that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. If, after assessing the totality of events or circumstances, it is more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit is greater than its carrying value, then performing the two-step impairment test is unnecessary. Autodesk adopted ASU 2011-8 effective February 1, 2012. The adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on Autodesk's consolidated statements of financial position, results of operations or cash flows. In June 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-5 regarding ASC Topic 220 “Comprehensive Income.” This ASU eliminates the option to present components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of changes in stockholders’ equity and requires the presentation of the total of comprehensive income, the components of net income, and the components of other comprehensive income either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. In December 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-12, an amendment to an existing accounting standard which defers the requirement to present components of reclassifications of other comprehensive income on the face of the income statement. Autodesk adopted ASU 2011-5 and ASU 2011-12 effective February 1, 2012. This accounting pronouncement impacted the presentation of other comprehensive income but did not impact Autodesk's consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows. In May 2011, FASB issued ASU 2011-4 regarding ASC Topic 820 “Fair Value Measurement.” This ASU amends the fair value measurement guidance and includes enhanced disclosure requirements primarily around Level 3 fair value measurements based on unobservable inputs. Autodesk adopted ASU 2011-4 effective February 1, 2012. The adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on Autodesk's consolidated statements of financial position, results of operations or cash flows. |

| Financial Instruments | Financial Instruments The following tables summarizes the Company's financial instruments' amortized cost, gross unrealized gains, gross unrealized losses, and fair value by significant investment category as of January 31, 2013 and 2012.
____________________
____________________
Autodesk classifies its marketable securities as either short-term or long-term based on each instrument’s underlying contractual maturity date. Marketable securities with remaining maturities of less than 12 months are classified as short-term and marketable securities with remaining maturities greater than 12 months are classified as long-term. Autodesk may sell certain of its marketable securities prior to their stated maturities for strategic purposes or in anticipation of credit deterioration. Autodesk applies fair value accounting for certain financial assets and liabilities, which consist of cash equivalents, marketable securities and other financial instruments, on a recurring basis. The Company defines fair value as the price that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Fair value is estimated by applying the following hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value into three levels and bases the categorization within the hierarchy upon the lowest level of input that is available and significant to the fair value measurement: (Level 1) observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets; (Level 2) inputs other than quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in inactive markets, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities; and (Level 3) unobservable inputs for which there is little or no market data, which require Autodesk to develop its own assumptions. When determining fair value, Autodesk uses observable market data and relies on unobservable inputs only when observable market data is not available. There have been no transfers between fair value measurement levels during the year ended January 31, 2013. Autodesk's cash equivalents, marketable securities and financial instruments are primarily classified within Level 1 or Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. Autodesk values it's available for sale securities on pricing from pricing vendors, who may use quoted prices in active markets for identical assets (Level 1) or inputs other than quoted prices that are observable either directly or indirectly in determining fair value (Level 2). Autodesk's Level 2 securities are valued primarily using observable inputs other than quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities. Autodesk's Level 3 securities consist of investments held in auction rate securities, convertible debt securities and derivative contracts which are valued using probability weighted discounted cash flow models and some of the inputs to the models are unobservable in the market. A reconciliation of the change in Autodesk’s Level 3 items for the fiscal years ended January 31, 2013 and 2012 was as follows:
The following table summarizes the estimated fair value of Autodesk's “available-for-sale securities” classified by the contractual maturity date of the security:
As of January 31, 2013 and 2012, Autodesk did not have any securities in a continuous unrealized loss position for greater than twelve months. Autodesk also has direct investments in privately held companies accounted for under the cost method, which are periodically assessed for other-than-temporary impairment. If Autodesk determines that an other-than-temporary impairment has occurred, Autodesk writes down the investment to its fair value. Autodesk estimates fair value of its cost method investments considering available information such as pricing in recent rounds of financing, current cash positions, earnings and cash flow forecasts, recent operational performance and any other readily available market data. During fiscal 2013, Autodesk recorded a $10.5 million other-than-temporary impairment on its privately held equity investments. The impairment expense was recorded in “Interest and other income, net” on the Company's Consolidated Statement of Income. The sales or redemptions of “available-for-sale securities” in fiscal 2013 and fiscal 2011 resulted in gains of $5.0 million and $1.7 million, respectively. The sales or redemptions of “available-for-sale securities” in fiscal 2012 resulted in no gains or losses. The cost of securities sold is based on the specific identification method. Derivative Financial Instruments Under its risk management strategy, Autodesk uses derivative instruments to manage its short-term exposures to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates which exist as part of ongoing business operations. Autodesk's general practice is to hedge a portion of transaction exposures denominated in euros, Japanese yen, Swiss francs, British pounds, Canadian dollars and Australian dollars. These instruments have maturities between one to twelve months in the future. Autodesk does not enter into derivative instrument transactions for trading or speculative purposes. The bank counterparties in all contracts expose Autodesk to credit-related losses in the event of their nonperformance. However, to mitigate that risk, Autodesk only contracts with counterparties who meet the Company's minimum requirements under its counterparty risk assessment process. Autodesk monitors ratings, credit spreads and potential downgrades on at least a quarterly basis. Based on Autodesk's on-going assessment of counterparty risk, the Company will adjust its exposure to various counterparties. Autodesk generally enters into master netting arrangements, which reduce credit risk by permitting net settlement of transactions with the same counterparty. However, Autodesk does not have any master netting arrangements in place with collateral features. Foreign currency contracts designated as cash flow hedges Autodesk uses foreign currency contracts to reduce the exchange rate impact on a portion of the net revenue or operating expense of certain anticipated transactions. These contracts are designated and documented as cash flow hedges. The effectiveness of the cash flow hedge contracts is assessed quarterly using regression analysis as well as other timing and probability criteria. To receive cash flow hedge accounting treatment, all hedging relationships are formally documented at the inception of the hedge and the hedges are expected to be highly effective in offsetting changes to future cash flows on hedged transactions. The gross gains and losses on these hedges are included in “Accumulated other comprehensive (loss) income” and are reclassified into earnings at the time the forecasted revenue or expense is recognized. In the event the underlying forecasted transaction does not occur, or it becomes probable that it will not occur, Autodesk reclassifies the gain or loss on the related cash flow hedge from “Accumulated other comprehensive (loss) income” to “Interest and other income, net” in the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements at that time. The net notional amount of these contracts was $359.8 million at January 31, 2013 and $419.6 million at January 31, 2012. Balances presented below are presented as net settled. Outstanding contracts are recognized as either assets or liabilities on the balance sheet at fair value. The majority of the net gain of $2.8 million remaining in “Accumulated other comprehensive (loss) income” as of January 31, 2013 is expected to be recognized into earnings within the next twelve months. Derivatives not designated as hedging instruments Autodesk uses foreign currency contracts which are not designated as hedging instruments to reduce the exchange rate risk associated primarily with foreign currency denominated receivables and payables. These forward contracts are marked-to-market at the end of each fiscal quarter with gains and losses recognized as “Interest and other income, net.” These derivative instruments do not subject the Company to material balance sheet risk due to exchange rate movements because gains and losses on these derivative instruments are intended to offset the gains or losses resulting from the settlement of the underlying foreign currency denominated receivables and payables. The net notional amounts of these foreign currency contracts were $78.4 million at January 31, 2013 and $75.1 million at January 31, 2012. In addition to these foreign currency contracts, Autodesk holds derivative instruments issued by privately held companies, which are not designated as hedging instruments. These derivatives consist of certain conversion options on the convertible debt securities held by Autodesk and an option to acquire a privately held company. These derivatives are recorded at fair value as of each balance sheet date and are recorded in “Other assets.” Changes in the fair values of these instruments are recognized in income as “Interest and other income, net.” Fair Value of Derivative Instruments: The fair value of derivative instruments in Autodesk’s Consolidated Balance Sheets were as follows as of January 31, 2013 and January 31, 2012:
The effects of derivatives designated as hedging instruments on Autodesk’s Consolidated Statements of Operations were as follows for the fiscal years ended January 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively (amounts presented include any income tax effects):
The effects of derivatives not designated as hedging instruments on Autodesk’s Consolidated Statements of Operations were as follows for the fiscal years ended January 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively (amounts presented include any income tax effects):

| Stock-based Compensation Expense | Employee and Director Stock Plans Stock Plans As of January 31, 2013, Autodesk maintained two active stock option plans for the purpose of granting equity awards to employees and to non-employee members of Autodesk’s Board of Directors: the 2012 Employee Stock Plan (“2012 Employee Plan”), which is available only to employees, and the Autodesk 2012 Outside Directors’ Stock Plan (“2012 Directors' Plan”), which is available only to non-employee directors. Additionally, there are eight expired or terminated plans with options outstanding. The exercise price of all stock options granted under these plans was equal to the fair market value of the stock on the grant date. The 2012 Employee Plan was approved by Autodesk's stockholders and became effective on January 6, 2012. The 2012 Employee Plan replaced the 2008 Employee Stock Plan, as amended ("2008 Plan") and no further equity awards may be granted under the 2008 Plan. The 2012 Employee Plan reserves up to 21.2 million shares which includes 15.2 million shares reserved upon the effectiveness of the 2012 Employee Plan as well as up to 6.0 million shares forfeited under certain prior employee stock plans during the life of the 2012 Employee Plan. The 2012 Employee Plan permits the grant of stock options, restricted stock units and restricted stock awards. Each restricted stock unit or restricted stock award granted will be counted against the shares authorized for issuance under the 2012 Employee Plan as 1.79 shares. If a granted option, restricted stock unit or restricted stock award expires or becomes unexercisable for any reason, the unpurchased or forfeited shares that were granted may be returned to the 2012 Employee Plan and may become available for future grant under the 2012 Employee Plan. As of January 31, 2013, 7.0 million shares subject to options or restricted stock awards have been granted under the 2012 Employee Plan. Options and restricted stock that were granted under the 2012 plan vest over periods ranging from immediately upon grant to over a three year period and options expire 10 years from the date of grant. The 2012 Employee Plan will expire on June 30, 2022. At January 31, 2013, 11.6 million shares were available for future issuance under the 2012 Employee Plan. The 2012 Director's Plan was approved by Autodesk's stockholders and became effective on January 6, 2012. The 2012 Directors' Plan replaced the 2010 Outside Directors' Stock Plan, as amended ("2010 Plan"). The 2012 Directors' Plan permits the grant of stock options, restricted stock units and restricted stock awards to non-employee members of Autodesk’s Board of Directors. Each restricted stock unit or restricted stock award granted will be counted against the shares authorized for issuance under the 2012 Directors' Plan as 2.11 shares. As of January 31, 2013, 0.2 million shares subject to restricted stock unit awards have been granted under the 2012 Directors' Plan. Restricted stock units that were granted under the 2012 Outside Directors' Plan vest over one year from the date of grant. The 2012 Directors' Plan reserved 2.6 million shares of Autodesk common stock. The 2012 Directors' Plan will expire on June 30, 2022. At January 31, 2013, 2.4 million shares were available for future issuance under the 2012 Director's Plan. The following sections summarize activity under Autodesk’s stock plans. Stock Options: A summary of stock option activity for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2013 is as follows:
_______________
As of January 31, 2013, total compensation cost of $34.8 million related to non-vested options is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 1.0 year. The following table summarizes information about the pre-tax intrinsic value of options exercised, and the weighted average grant date fair value per share of options granted, during the fiscal years ended January 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011:
——————
The following table summarizes information about options vested and exercisable, and outstanding at January 31, 2013:
____________________
These options will expire if not exercised at specific dates ranging through September 2022. Restricted Stock: A summary of restricted stock award and restricted stock unit activity for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2013 is as follows:
During the fiscal year ended January 31, 2013, Autodesk granted approximately 3.4 million restricted stock units. The restricted stock units vest over periods ranging from immediately upon grant to a pre-determined date that is typically within three years from the date of grant. Restricted stock units are not considered outstanding stock at the time of grant, as the holders of these units are not entitled to any of the rights of a stockholder, including voting rights. The fair value of the restricted stock units is expensed ratably over the vesting period. Autodesk recorded stock-based compensation expense related to restricted stock units of $70.5 million, $29.1 million and $8.9 million during fiscal years ended January 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively. Included in the $70.5 million, Autodesk incurred $16.6 million relating to the acceleration of vesting of equity awards held in Socialcam for Socialcam employees immediately prior to the acquisition. As of January 31, 2013, total compensation cost not yet recognized of $93.0 million related to non-vested awards, is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 1.8 years. At January 31, 2013, the number of units granted but unreleased was 4.5 million. During the fiscal year ended January 31, 2013, Autodesk granted 0.5 million performance restricted stock units. The majority of the performance restricted stock units that were granted had performance criteria based solely upon the attainment of predetermined goals relative to company revenue growth and non-GAAP operating margin performance for fiscal 2013 as calculated under a pre-established performance matrix. If the performance criteria is achieved, the performance restricted stock units would vest ratably on an annual cliff basis from March 2013 through March 2015. In addition, during fiscal 2013, Autodesk granted an additional performance-based restricted stock unit award to our CEO, the value of which would be realized only if he satisfies certain specified strategic corporate, and talent management performance objectives as established by the Compensation Committee of Autodesk's Board of Directors. Performance stock units are not considered outstanding stock at the time of grant, as the holders of these units are not entitled to any of the rights of a stockholder, including voting rights. The fair value of the performance restricted stock units is expensed using the accelerated attribution method over the vesting period. Autodesk recorded stock-based compensation expense related to performance restricted stock units of $8.1 million during fiscal year ended January 31, 2013. Autodesk recorded no stock-based compensation related to performance restricted stock units during the fiscal years ended January 31, 2012 and 2011. As of January 31, 2013, total compensation cost not yet recognized of $5.8 million related to non-vested performance restricted stock units, is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 1.1 years. At January 31, 2013, the number of performance restricted stock units granted but unreleased was 0.5 million. 1998 Employee Qualified Stock Purchase Plan (“ESP Plan”) Under Autodesk’s ESP Plan, which was approved by stockholders in 1998, eligible employees may purchase shares of Autodesk’s common stock at their discretion using up to 15% of their eligible compensation subject to certain limitations, at not less than 85% of fair market value as defined in the ESP Plan. At January 31, 2013, a total of 36.2 million shares were available for future issuance. This amount automatically increases on the first trading day of each fiscal year by an amount equal to the lesser of 10.0 million shares or 2% of the total of (1) outstanding shares plus (2) any shares repurchased by Autodesk during the prior fiscal year. Under the ESP Plan, the Company issues shares on the first trading day following March 31 and September 30 of each fiscal year. The ESP Plan expires during fiscal 2018. Autodesk issued 2.9 million shares under the ESP Plan at an average price of $21.79 per share in fiscal 2013, 2.8 million shares at an average price of $18.26 per share in fiscal 2012, and 3.2 million shares at an average price of $14.77 per share in fiscal 2011. The weighted average grant date fair value of awards granted under the ESP Plan during fiscal 2013, 2012 and 2011, calculated as of the award grant date using the BSM option-pricing model, was $12.21, $9.95 and $10.11 per share, respectively. Autodesk recorded $34.0 million, $23.8 million and $18.2 million of compensation expense associated with the ESP Plan in fiscal 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively. Equity Compensation Plan Information The following table summarizes the number of outstanding options granted to employees and directors, as well as the number of securities remaining available for future issuance under these plans as of January 31, 2013:

| Income Taxes | Income Taxes The provision for income taxes consists of the following:
During fiscal year 2013, the Company reduced its current federal and state taxes payable by $12.5 million related to excess tax benefits from non-qualified stock options, offsetting additional paid-in capital. Pursuant to accounting standards related to stock-based compensation, the Company has unrecorded excess stock option tax benefits of $157.6 million as of January 31, 2013. These amounts will be credited to additional paid-in-capital when such amounts reduce cash taxes payable. Foreign pretax income was $394.7 million in fiscal 2013, $383.7 million in fiscal 2012, and $321.1 million in fiscal 2011. The differences between the U.S. statutory rate and the aggregate income tax provision are as follows:
Significant components of Autodesk’s deferred tax assets and liabilities are as follows:
The valuation allowance increased by $3.8 million, $4.6 million and $3.9 million in fiscal 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively. The fiscal 2013, fiscal 2012, and fiscal 2011 changes in valuation allowance were related to U.S. and Canadian deferred taxes. The Company provides U.S. income taxes on the earnings of foreign subsidiaries, except to the extent subsidiaries' earnings are considered permanently reinvested outside the U.S. As of January 31, 2013, the cumulative amount of earnings upon which U.S. income taxes have not been provided was $1,489.9 million. The unrecognized deferred tax liability for these earnings was approximately $442.9 million. Realization of the Company's net deferred tax assets of $165.0 million is dependent upon the Company's ability to generate future taxable income in appropriate tax jurisdictions to obtain benefit from the reversal of temporary differences, net operating loss carryforwards and tax credits. The amount of deferred tax assets considered realizable is subject to adjustment in future periods if estimates of future taxable income are reduced. As of January 31, 2013, Autodesk had $36.6 million of cumulative federal tax loss carryforwards and $249.8 million of cumulative state tax loss carryforwards, which may be available to reduce future income tax liabilities in certain jurisdictions. These federal and state tax loss carryforwards will expire beginning fiscal 2014 through fiscal 2032 and fiscal 2014 through fiscal 2032, respectively. Autodesk also had $14.7 million of cumulative federal and state capital loss carryforwards as of January 31, 2013 which are available to offset future capital gains through fiscal 2018. As of January 31, 2013, Autodesk had $86.1 million of cumulative federal research tax credit carryforwards, $43.5 million of cumulative California state research tax credit carryforwards and $49.7 million of cumulative Canadian federal tax credit carryforwards, which may be available to reduce future income tax liabilities in the respective jurisdictions. The federal credit carryforwards will expire beginning fiscal 2021 through fiscal 2033, the state credit carryforwards may reduce future California income tax liabilities indefinitely, and the Canadian tax credit carryforwards will expire beginning fiscal 2025 through fiscal 2033. Autodesk also has $60.8 million of cumulative foreign tax credit carryforwards, which may be available to reduce future U. S. tax liabilities. The foreign tax credit will expire beginning fiscal 2022 through fiscal 2023. Utilization of net operating losses and tax credits may be subject to an annual limitation due to ownership change limitations provided in the Internal Revenue Code and similar state provisions. This annual limitation may result in the expiration of net operating losses and credits before utilization. As a result of certain business and employment actions and capital investments undertaken by Autodesk, income earned in certain Europe and Asia Pacific countries is subject to reduced tax rates through fiscal 2016 and 2019, respectively with extensions available with incremental business and employment actions. The net income tax benefits attributable to the tax status of these business arrangements are estimated to be $4.4 million ($0.02 basic net income per share) in fiscal 2013, $10.4 million ($0.05 basic net income per share) in fiscal 2012 and zero in fiscal 2011. The income tax benefits were offset partially by accruals of U.S. income taxes on undistributed earnings, among other factors. As of January 31, 2013, the Company had $212.7 million of gross unrecognized tax benefits, of which $202.1 million would impact the effective tax rate, if recognized. It is possible that the amount of unrecognized tax benefits will change in the next twelve months; however an estimate of the range of the possible change cannot be made at this time. A reconciliation of the beginning and ending amount of the gross unrecognized tax benefits is as follows:
It is the Company's continuing practice to recognize interest and/or penalties related to income tax matters in income tax expense. The Company had $1.9 million, $2.4 million and $1.9 million, net of tax benefit, accrued for interest and zero accrued for penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as of January 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively. Autodesk and its subsidiaries are subject to income tax in the United States as well as numerous state and foreign jurisdictions. The Company's U.S. and state income tax returns for fiscal year 2003 through fiscal year 2013 remain open to examination. In addition, the Company files tax returns in multiple foreign taxing jurisdictions with open tax years ranging from fiscal year 2003 to 2013. |

The results of operations for the following acquisitions are included in the accompanying Consolidated Statement of Operations since their respective acquisition dates. Pro forma results of operations have not been presented because the effects of the following acquisitions, individually and in the aggregate, were not material to Autodesk's Consolidated Financial Statements.

| Borrowing Arrangements | Borrowing Arrangements In December 2012, Autodesk issued $400.0 million aggregate principal amount of 1.95% senior notes due December 15, 2017 and $350.0 million aggregate principal amount of 3.6% senior notes due December 15, 2022, (collectively, the "Senior Notes"). Autodesk received net proceeds of $739.3 million from issuance of the Senior Notes, net of a discount of $4.5 million and issuance costs of $6.1 million. Both the discount and issuance costs are being amortized to interest expense over the respective terms of the Senior Notes using the effective interest method. In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2013, Autodesk used a portion of the proceeds to re-pay the outstanding balance of the credit facility. The remaining proceeds from the Senior Notes are available for general corporate purposes. Autodesk may redeem the Senior Notes at any time, subject to a make whole premium. In addition, upon the occurrence of certain change of control triggering events, Autodesk may be required to repurchase the Senior Notes, at a price equal to 101% of their principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the date of repurchase. The Senior Notes contain restrictive covenants that limit our ability to create certain liens, to enter into certain sale and leaseback transactions and to consolidate or merge with, or convey, transfer or lease all or substantially all of our assets, subject to significant qualifications and exceptions. Based on quoted market prices, the fair value of the Senior Notes was approximately $743.3 million as of January 31, 2013. During the fiscal year 2012, Autodesk entered into a credit agreement that provides for a $400.0 million unsecured revolving credit facility, with an option to request an increase in the amount of the credit facility by up to an additional $100.0 million. The credit agreement contains customary covenants that could restrict the imposition of liens on Autodesk's assets, and restrict the Company's ability to incur additional indebtedness or make dispositions of assets if Autodesk fails to maintain the financial covenants. During the fiscal year ended January 31, 2013, Autodesk borrowed $110.0 million under the credit facility, which was repaid in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2013 with a portion of the net proceeds from the sale of the Senior Notes. At January 31, 2013 and January 31, 2012, Autodesk had no outstanding borrowings on this line of credit, which expires in May 2016. |

| Commitments and Contingencies | Commitments and Contingencies Lease commitments Autodesk leases office space and computer equipment under non-cancellable operating lease agreements that expire at various dates through September 2021. The leases generally provide that Autodesk pay taxes, insurance and maintenance expenses related to the leased assets. Certain of these lease arrangements contain escalation clauses whereby monthly rent increases over time. At January 31, 2013, the aggregate future minimum lease payments required were as follows:
Rent expense related to these operating leases recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease period, was as follows:
Purchase commitments In the normal course of business, Autodesk enters into various purchase commitments for goods or services. Total non-cancellable purchase commitments as of January 31, 2013 were approximately $48.7 million for periods through fiscal 2015 These purchase commitments primarily result from contracts for the acquisition of IT infrastructure, marketing and software development services. Autodesk has certain royalty commitments associated with the shipment and licensing of certain products. Royalty expense is generally based on a dollar amount per unit shipped or a percentage of the underlying revenue. Royalty expense, which was recorded under cost of license and other revenue on Autodesk’s Consolidated Statements of Operations, was $16.4 million in fiscal 2013, $16.5 million in fiscal 2012 and $12.8 million in fiscal 2011. Indemnifications In the normal course of business, Autodesk provides indemnifications of varying scopes, including limited product warranties and indemnification of customers against claims of intellectual property infringement made by third parties arising from the use of its products or services. Autodesk accrues for known indemnification issues if a loss is probable and can be reasonably estimated. Historically, costs related to these indemnifications have not been significant, and because potential future costs are highly variable, Autodesk is unable to estimate the maximum potential impact of these indemnifications on its future results of operations. In connection with the purchase, sale or license of assets or businesses with third parties, Autodesk has entered into or assumed customary indemnification agreements related to the assets or businesses purchased, sold or licensed. Historically, costs related to these indemnifications have not been significant, and because potential future costs are highly variable, Autodesk is unable to estimate the maximum potential impact of these indemnifications on its future results of operations. As permitted under Delaware law, Autodesk has agreements whereby it indemnifies its officers and directors for certain events or occurrences while the officer or director is, or was, serving at Autodesk’s request in such capacity. The maximum potential amount of future payments Autodesk could be required to make under these indemnification agreements is unlimited; however, Autodesk has directors’ and officers’ liability insurance coverage that is intended to reduce its financial exposure and may enable Autodesk to recover a portion of any future amounts paid. Autodesk believes the estimated fair value of these indemnification agreements in excess of applicable insurance coverage is minimal. Legal Proceedings Autodesk is involved in a variety of claims, suits, investigations and proceedings in the normal course of business activities including claims of alleged infringement of intellectual property rights, commercial, employment, piracy prosecution, business practices and other matters. In the Company's opinion, resolution of pending matters is not expected to have a material adverse impact on its consolidated results of operations, cash flows or its financial position. Given the unpredictable nature of legal proceedings, there is a reasonable possibility that an unfavorable resolution of one or more such proceedings could in the future materially affect the Company's results of operations, cash flows or financial position in a particular period, however, based on the information known by the Company as of the date of this filing and the rules and regulations applicable to the preparation of the Company's financial statements, any such amount is either immaterial or it is not possible to provide an estimated amount of any such potential loss. |

At January 31, 2013, there were no preferred shares issued or outstanding. The Board of Directors has the authority to issue the preferred stock in one or more series and to fix rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions, including dividends and the number of shares constituting any series or the designation of such series, without any further vote or action by the stockholders. Common Stock Repurchase Programs Autodesk has a stock repurchase program that is used largely to help offset the dilution from the issuance of stock under the Company’s employee stock plans, reduce shares over time as facts and circumstances warrant and for such other purposes as may be in the interests of Autodesk and its stockholders, and has the effect of returning excess cash generated from the Company's business to stockholders. Autodesk repurchased and retired 12.5 million shares in fiscal 2013 at an average repurchase price of $34.50 per share, 9.7 million shares in fiscal 2012 at an average repurchase price of $33.71 per share and 9.0 million shares in fiscal 2011 at an average repurchase price of $31.13. At January 31, 2013, 32.2 million shares remained available for repurchase under repurchase plans approved by the Board of Directors. This amount includes the 30.0 million share increase approved by the Board of Directors in June 2012. In fiscal 2013, 2012 and 2011, Autodesk repurchased its common stock through open market purchases. The number of shares acquired and the timing of the purchases are based on several factors, including general market conditions, the number of employee stock option exercises, stock issuance, the trading price of Autodesk common stock, cash on hand and available in the United States, and company defined trading windows. |

| Net Income Per Share | Net Income Per Share Basic net income per share is computed using the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the period, including restricted stock awards and excluding stock options and restricted stock units. Diluted net income per share is based upon the weighted average shares of common stock outstanding for the period and potentially dilutive common shares, including the effect of stock options and restricted stock units under the treasury stock method. The following table sets forth the computation of the numerators and denominators used in the basic and diluted net income per share amounts:
The computation of diluted net income per share does not include shares that are anti-dilutive under the treasury stock method because their exercise prices are higher than the average market value of Autodesk’s stock during the fiscal year. For the fiscal years ended January 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, 9.6 million, 12.9 million and 19.3 million potentially anti-dilutive shares, respectively, were excluded from the computation of net income per share. |

| Segments | Segments Autodesk reports segment information based on the “management” approach. The management approach designates the internal reporting used by management for making decisions and assessing performance as the source of the Company’s reportable segments. Autodesk reported based on four reportable operating segments: PSEB, AEC, MFG and M&E. Autodesk has no material inter-segment revenue. The PSEB, AEC and MFG segments derive revenue from the sale of licenses for software products and services to customers who design, build, manage or own building, manufacturing and infrastructure projects. Autodesk's M&E segment derives revenue from the sale of products to creative professionals, post-production facilities and broadcasters for a variety of applications, including feature films, television programs, commercials, music and corporate videos, interactive game production, web design and interactive web streaming. PSEB includes Autodesk’s design product, AutoCAD. Autodesk’s AutoCAD product is a platform product that underpins the Company’s design product offerings for the industries it serves. For example, AEC and MFG offer tailored versions of AutoCAD software for the industries they serve. Autodesk’s AutoCAD product also provides a platform for Autodesk’s developer partners to build custom solutions for a range of diverse design-oriented markets. PSEB’s revenue primarily includes revenue from sales of licenses of Autodesk’s design products, AutoCAD and AutoCAD LT, as well as the Autodesk Design Suite and many other design products, including consumer design products. AEC software products help to improve the way building, civil infrastructure, process plant and construction projects are designed, built and managed. A broad portfolio of solutions enables greater efficiency, accuracy and sustainability across the entire project lifecycle. Autodesk AEC solutions include advanced technology for building information modeling (“BIM”), AutoCAD-based design and documentation productivity software, sustainable design analysis applications, and collaborative project management solutions. BIM, an integrated process for building and infrastructure design, analysis, documentation and construction, uses consistent, coordination information to improve communication and collaboration between the extended project team. AEC provides a comprehensive portfolio of BIM solutions that help customers deliver projects faster and more economically, while minimizing environmental impact. AEC’s revenue primarily includes revenue from the sales of licenses of Autodesk Building Design Suites, Autodesk Revit, AutoCAD Civil 3D and AutoCAD Map 3D. MFG provides the manufacturers in automotive and transportation, industrial machinery, consumer products and building products with comprehensive digital prototyping solutions that brings together design data from all phases of the product development process to develop a single digital model created in Autodesk Inventor software. Autodesk’s solutions for digital prototyping enable a broad group of manufacturers to realize benefits with minimal disruption to existing workflows. MFG’s revenue primarily includes revenue from the sales of licenses of Autodesk Product Design Suites, AutoCAD Mechanical Autodesk Inventor and Autodesk Moldflow products. M&E is comprised of two product groups: Animation, including design visualization, and Creative Finishing. Animation products, such as Autodesk Maya, Autodesk 3ds Max, and the Autodesk Entertainment Creation Suites, provide tools for digital sculpting, modeling, animation, effects, rendering and compositing, for design visualization, visual effects and games production. Creative Finishing products provide editing, finishing and visual effects design and color grading. All of Autodesk’s reportable segments distribute their respective products primarily through authorized resellers and distributors and, to a lesser extent, through direct sales to end-users. The accounting policies of the reportable segments are the same as those described in Note 1, “Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies.” Autodesk evaluates each segment’s performance on the basis of gross profit. Autodesk currently does not separately accumulate and report asset information by segment, except for goodwill, which is disclosed in Note 1, “Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies.” Information concerning the operations of Autodesk’s reportable segments is as follows:

| Compensation and Retirement Disclosure [Abstract] | |
| Pension and Other Postretirement Benefits Disclosure | Retirement Benefit Plans Pretax Savings Plan Autodesk has a 401(k) plan that covers nearly all U.S. employees. Eligible employees may contribute up to 50% of their pretax salary, subject to limitations mandated by the Internal Revenue Service. Autodesk makes voluntary cash contributions and matches a portion of employee contributions in cash. Autodesk’s contributions were $7.9 million in fiscal 2013, $7.3 million in fiscal 2012 and $6.7 million in fiscal 2011. Autodesk does not allow participants to invest in Autodesk common stock through the 401(k) plan. Other Plans Autodesk provides certain defined benefit pension plans to employees primarily located in countries outside of the U.S. The Company deposits funds for specific plans, consistent with the requirements of local law, with insurance companies or third-party trustees, and accrues for the unfunded portion of the obligation, where material. The assumptions used in calculating the obligation for these plans depend on the local economic environment. The net liability related to the funded status of the plans was approximately $24.0 million and $18.0 million as of January 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The projected benefit obligation was $61.5 million and $52.8 million as of January 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The related fair value of plan assets was $37.5 million and $34.8 million as of January 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Autodesk's practice is to fund the pension plans in amounts at least sufficient to meet the minimum requirements of local laws and regulations. The assets of the plans are primarily invested in high quality fixed income investments. Autodesk's contributions were approximately $5.4 million, $4.2 million and $3.5 million in fiscal 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively. As of January 31, 2013, Autodesk's estimated future benefit payments are an aggregate $10.6 million for fiscal 2014 through fiscal 2018 and an aggregate of $8.4 million for fiscal 2019 through fiscal 2023. Autodesk recorded $14.7 million and $8.2 million of unrealized changes in the unfunded portion of Autodesk’s defined benefit plans in fiscal 2013 and fiscal 2012, respectively. Autodesk also provides defined contribution plans in certain foreign countries where required by statute. Autodesk’s funding policy for foreign defined contribution plans is consistent with the local requirements in each country. Autodesk’s contributions to these plans were $21.5 million in fiscal 2013, $20.4 million in fiscal 2012 and $13.6 million in fiscal 2011. In addition, Autodesk offers a non-qualified deferred compensation plan to certain key employees whereby they may defer a portion (or all) of their annual compensation until retirement or a different date specified by the employee in accordance with terms of the plan. See Note 6, “Deferred Compensation,” for further discussion. |

| Restructuring Reserve | Restructuring Reserves During the third quarter of fiscal 2013, the Board of Directors of the Company approved a world-wide restructuring plan in line with the Company's strategy, including its continuing shift to cloud and mobile computing. The plan included a reduction of approximately 500 positions and the consolidation of eight leased facilities with a total cost of up to $52.0 million. During fiscal 2013, Autodesk recorded a restructuring charge of $43.9 million. Of this amount, $40.6 million were recorded for one-time termination benefits and other costs and $3.3 million was recorded for facilities-related costs. The termination benefits and facility related liabilities have been substantially paid as of fiscal year ended January 31, 2013. Autodesk expects to pay the remainder of the termination benefits and facility related liabilities through the fourth quarter of fiscal 2019.

| Use of Estimates, Policy | Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in Autodesk’s consolidated financial statements and notes thereto. These estimates are based on information available as of the date of the consolidated financial statements. On a regular basis, management evaluates these estimates and assumptions. Actual results may differ materially from these estimates. Examples of significant estimates and assumptions made by management involve the determination of the fair value of acquired assets and liabilities, goodwill, financial instruments, long-lived assets and other intangible assets, the realizability of deferred tax assets and the fair value of stock awards (see “Stock-based Compensation Expense” within this Note 1 and Note 3 “Employee and Director Stock Plans” for further discussion). The Company also makes assumptions, judgments and estimates in determining the accruals for uncertain tax positions, variable compensation, partner incentive programs, product returns reserves, allowances for doubtful accounts, asset retirement obligations and legal contingencies. |

| Foreign Currency Translation Policy | Foreign Currency Translation The assets and liabilities of Autodesk’s foreign subsidiaries are translated from their respective functional currencies into U.S. dollars at the rates in effect at the balance sheet date, and revenue and expense amounts are translated at weighted average rates during the period. Foreign currency translation adjustments are recorded as other comprehensive income (loss). Gains and losses realized from foreign currency transactions, those transactions denominated in currencies other than the foreign subsidiary’s functional currency, are included in interest and other income, net. |

| Derivatives, Policy | Derivative Financial Instruments Under its risk management strategy, Autodesk uses derivative instruments to manage its short-term exposures to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates which exist as part of ongoing business operations. Autodesk’s general practice is to hedge a majority of transaction exposures denominated in euros, Japanese yen, Swiss francs, British pounds, Canadian dollars, and Australian dollars. These instruments have maturities between one to 12 months in the future. Autodesk does not enter into any derivative instruments for trading or speculative purposes. The bank counterparties in all contracts expose Autodesk to credit-related losses in the event of their nonperformance. However, to mitigate that risk, Autodesk only contracts with counterparties who meet the Company’s minimum requirements under its counterparty risk assessment process. Autodesk monitors ratings, credit spreads and potential downgrades on at least a quarterly basis. Based on Autodesk’s on-going assessment of counterparty risk, the Company will adjust its exposure to various counterparties. Autodesk generally enters into master netting arrangements, which reduce credit risk by permitting net settlement of transactions with the same counterparty. However, Autodesk does not have any master netting arrangements in place with collateral features. Autodesk accounts for its derivative instruments as either assets or liabilities on the balance sheet and carries them at fair value. Gains and losses resulting from changes in fair value are accounted for depending on the use of the derivative and whether it is designated and qualifies for hedge accounting. Derivatives that do not qualify for hedge accounting are adjusted to fair value through earnings. See Note 2, "Financial Instruments" for information regarding Autodesk's hedging activities. |

| Cash and Cash Equivalents, Policy | Cash and Cash Equivalents Autodesk considers all highly liquid investments with insignificant interest rate risk and remaining maturities of three months or less at the date of purchase to be cash equivalents. Cash equivalents are recorded at cost, which approximates fair value. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Marketable Securities, Policy | Marketable Securities Marketable securities are stated at fair value. Marketable securities maturing within one year that are not restricted are classified as current assets. Autodesk determines the appropriate classification of its marketable securities at the time of purchase and re-evaluates such classification as of each balance sheet date. Autodesk carries all “available-for-sale securities” at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses, net of tax, reported in stockholders’ equity until disposition or maturity. Autodesk carries all “trading securities” at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses, recorded in “Interest and other income, net” in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations. All of Autodesk’s marketable securities are subject to a periodic impairment review. The Company recognizes an impairment charge when a decline in the fair value of its investments below the cost basis is judged to be other-than-temporary. Autodesk considers various factors in determining whether to recognize an impairment charge, including the length of time and extent to which the fair value has been less than Autodesk’s cost basis, the financial condition and near-term prospects of the investee, and Autodesk’s intent and ability to hold the investment for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in the market value. Autodesk did not record any other-than temporary impairment charges during fiscal years ended 2013, 2012 and 2011. For additional information, see “Concentration of Credit Risk” within this Note 1 and Note 2, “Financial Instruments.” |

| Accounts Receivable, Net, Policy | Accounts Receivable, Net Accounts receivable, net, consisted of the following as of January 31:
____________________
Allowances for uncollectible trade receivables are based upon historical loss patterns, the number of days that billings are past due and an evaluation of the potential risk of loss associated with problem accounts. The product returns reserves are based on historical experience of actual product returns, estimated channel inventory levels, the timing of new product introductions, channel sell-in for applicable markets and other factors. Partner program and other obligations are primarily related to partner incentives that use quarterly attainment monetary rewards to motivate distributors and resellers to achieve mutually agreed upon business goals in a specified time period. |

| Concentration of Credit Risk, Policy | Concentration of Credit Risk Autodesk places its cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities in highly liquid instruments with, and in the custody of, financial institutions with high credit ratings and limits the amounts invested with any one institution, type of security and issuer. Geographical concentrations of consolidated cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities held by Autodesk as of January 31:
Autodesk's primary commercial banking relationship is with Citibank and its global affiliates (“Citibank”). The Company's cash and cash equivalents are held by diversified financial institutions globally. Citicorp USA, Inc., an affiliate of Citibank, is one of the lead lenders and agent in the syndicate of Autodesk's $400.0 million line of credit facility. Autodesk’s accounts receivable are derived from sales to a large number of resellers, distributors and direct customers in the Americas; EMEA; and APAC geographies. Autodesk performs ongoing evaluations of these partners' financial condition and limits the amount of credit extended when deemed necessary, but generally does not require collateral from such parties. Total sales to the Company's largest distributor Tech Data Corporation, and its global affiliates (“Tech Data”), accounted for 23%, 17% and 16% of Autodesk's net revenue for fiscal years ended 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively. The majority of the net revenue from sales to Tech Data relates to Autodesk's Platform Solutions and Emerging Business ("PSEB") segment and is for sales made outside of the United States. In addition, Tech Data accounted for 23% and 21% of trade accounts receivable at January 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. In October 2011, Tech Data purchased certain assets of Mensch and Maschine Software (“MuM”), which had been a distributor of Autodesk's products in Europe. The acquisition concentrated additional sales through Tech Data, which on a consolidated basis would have accounted for 21% and 22% of Autodesk's net revenue for fiscal years 2012 and 2011, if the acquisition had taken place at the beginning of fiscal 2011. |

| Computer Equipment, Software, Furniture and Leasehold Improvements, Net, Policy | Computer Equipment, Software, Furniture and Leasehold Improvements, Net Computer equipment, software and furniture are depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which range from three to five years. Leasehold improvements are amortized on a straight-line basis over the shorter of their estimated useful lives or the lease term. Depreciation expense was $45.6 million in fiscal 2013, $43.7 million in fiscal 2012 and $47.6 million in fiscal 2011. Computer equipment, software, furniture, leasehold improvements and the related accumulated depreciation at January 31 were as follows:
Costs incurred for computer software developed or obtained for internal use are capitalized for application development activities, if material, and immediately expensed for preliminary project activities and post-implementation activities. These capitalized costs are amortized over the software’s expected useful life, which is generally three years. During fiscal 2013, Autodesk wrote-off $83.9 million of fully depreciated assets. |

| Software Development Costs, Policy | Software Development Costs Software development costs incurred prior to the establishment of technological feasibility are included in research and development expenses. Autodesk defines establishment of technological feasibility as the completion of a working model. Software development costs incurred subsequent to the establishment of technological feasibility through the period of general market availability of the products are capitalized and generally amortized over a one year period, if material. Autodesk had no capitalized software development costs at January 31, 2013 and January 31, 2012. |

| Other Intangible Assets, Policy | Other Intangible Assets, Net Other intangible assets include purchased technologies, customer relationships, trade names and the related accumulated amortization. These assets are shown as “Purchased technologies, net” and as part of “Other assets” in the Consolidated Balance Sheet. The majority of Autodesk’s other intangible assets are amortized to expense over the estimated economic life of the product, which ranges from one to ten years. Amortization expense for purchased technologies, customer relationships, trade names, patents, and user lists was $82.0 million in fiscal 2013, $71.8 million in fiscal 2012 and $57.8 million in fiscal 2011. Other intangible assets and related accumulated amortization at January 31 were as follows:
____________________
The weighted average amortization period for purchased technologies, customer relationships and trade names during fiscal 2013 was 4.9 years. Expected future amortization expense for purchased technologies, customer relationships and trade names for each of the fiscal years ended thereafter is as follows:

| Goodwill, Policy | Goodwill Goodwill consists of the excess of cost over the fair value of net assets acquired in business combinations. Autodesk assigns goodwill to the reportable segment associated with each business combination, and tests goodwill for impairment annually in its fourth fiscal quarter or more often if circumstances indicate a potential impairment. For purposes of the goodwill impairment test, a reporting unit is an operating segment or one level below. Autodesk's operating segments are aligned with the management principles of Autodesk's business. In September 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standard Update ("ASU") 2011-08 regarding Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 350 “Intangibles – Goodwill and Other. Autodesk adopted the provisions of ASU 2011-08 for its annual goodwill impairment test performed in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2013. This update gives companies the option to first perform a qualitative assessment to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount before performing the two-step goodwill impairment test mandated prior to the update. Companies are not required to perform the qualitative assessment and may instead proceed directly to the first step of the two-part test. In performing the qualitative assessments, Autodesk must consider events and circumstances, including but not limited to, macroeconomic conditions, industry and market considerations, cost factors, overall financial performance, changes in management or key personnel, changes in strategy, changes in customers, changes in the composition or carrying amount of a reporting unit's net assets and changes in the price of Autodesk's common stock. If, after assessing the totality of events or circumstances, it is determine that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is greater than its carrying amount, then the two-step goodwill impairment test is not performed. If the two-step impairment test is necessary, Autodesk uses discounted cash flow models which include assumptions regarding projected cash flows. Variances in these assumptions could have a significant impact on Autodesk's conclusion as to whether goodwill is impaired, or the amount of any impairment charge. Impairment charges, if any, result from instances where the fair values of net assets associated with goodwill are less than their carrying values. The process of evaluating the potential impairment of goodwill is subjective and requires significant judgment at many points during the analysis. The value of Autodesk's goodwill could also be impacted by future adverse changes such as: (i) declines in Autodesk's actual financial results, (ii) a sustained decline in Autodesk's market capitalization, (iii) significant slowdown in the worldwide economy or the industries Autodesk serves, or (iv) changes in Autodesk's business strategy or internal financial results forecasts. For the fiscal 2013 annual goodwill impairment testing, Autodesk had four reporting units: PSEB, Manufacturing ("MFG"), Architecture, Engineering and Construction ("AEC") and Media and Entertainment ("M&E"). Autodesk assessed qualitative factors to determine whether the existence of events or circumstances leads to a determination that it is more likely than not that the fair value of Autodesk's PSEB, MFG, and AEC reporting units was less than the reporting units' carrying amount. Autodesk determined, after assessing the totality of the events and circumstances described above, that it was more likely than not that the fair value of each of the PSEB, MFG, and AEC reporting units was greater than the carrying amount for such reporting unit. Accordingly, there was no indication of impairment and the two-step goodwill impairment test was not performed for these reporting units. For the M&E reporting unit, Autodesk deemed the two-step impairment test was necessary and used a discounted cash flow model which included assumptions regarding projected cash flows. Based on this testing, Autodesk determined that there was no impairment of goodwill for the M&E reporting unit during the year ended January 31, 2013. In addition, Autodesk did not recognize any goodwill impairment losses in fiscal 2012 or 2011. The change in the carrying amount of goodwill during the year ended January 31, 2013 is as follows:
The change in the carrying amount of goodwill during the year ended January 31, 2012 is as follows:

| Impairment of Long-Lived Assets, Policy | Impairment of Long-Lived Assets At least annually or more frequently as circumstances dictate Autodesk reviews its long-lived assets for impairment whenever impairment indicators exist. Autodesk continually monitors events and changes in circumstances that could indicate the carrying amounts of its long-lived assets may not be recoverable. When such events or changes in circumstances occur, Autodesk assesses recoverability of these assets. Recoverability is measured by comparison of the carrying amounts of the assets to the future undiscounted cash flows the assets are expected to generate. If the long-lived assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is equal to the amount by which the carrying value of the assets exceeds its fair market value. There was no impairment of long-lived assets during the years ended January 31, 2013 and 2012. In addition to the recoverability assessments, Autodesk routinely reviews the remaining estimated useful lives of its long-lived assets. Any reduction in the useful life assumption will result in increased depreciation and amortization expense in the quarter when such determinations are made, as well as in subsequent quarters |

| Deferred Tax Assets, Policy | Deferred Tax Assets Deferred tax assets arise primarily from tax credits, net operating losses, and timing differences for reserves, accrued liabilities, stock options, purchased technologies and capitalized intangibles, partially offset by the establishment of U.S. deferred tax liabilities on unremitted earnings from certain foreign subsidiaries, deferred tax liabilities associated with tax method change on advance payments, and a valuation allowance against California and Canadian deferred tax assets. They are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to reverse. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce gross deferred tax assets to the amount “more likely than not” expected to be realized |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Revenue Recognition, Policy | Revenue Recognition Autodesk recognizes revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred or services have been rendered, the price is fixed or determinable, and collection is probable. For multiple element arrangements containing only software and software-related elements, Autodesk allocates the sales price among each of the deliverables using the residual method, under which revenue is allocated to undelivered elements based on their vendor-specific objective evidence (“VSOE”) of fair value. VSOE is the price charged when an element is sold separately or a price set by management with the relevant authority. If Autodesk does not have VSOE of an undelivered software license, revenue recognition is deferred on the entire sales arrangement until all elements for which Autodesk does not have VSOE are delivered. If Autodesk does not have VSOE for undelivered maintenance or services, the revenue for the arrangement is recognized over the longest contractual service period in the arrangement. Revenue recognition for significant lines of business is discussed further below. For multiple elements arrangements involving non-software elements, including cloud subscription services, our revenue recognition policy is based upon the accounting guidance contained in ASC 605, Revenue Recognition. For these arrangements, we first allocate the total arrangement consideration based on the relative selling prices of the software group of elements as a whole and to the non-software elements. We then further allocate consideration within the software group to the respective elements within that group using the residual method as described above. Autodesk exercises judgment and uses estimates in connection with the determination of the amount of revenue to be recognized in each accounting period. Autodesk’s assessment of likelihood of collection is also a critical element in determining the timing of revenue recognition. If collection is not probable, the revenue will be deferred until the earlier of when collection is deemed probable or cash is received. License and other revenue are comprised of two components: (1) all forms of product license revenue and (2) other revenue: (1) All Forms of Product License Revenue Product license revenue includes: software license revenue from the sale of new seat licenses, upgrades, product revenue for Creative Finishing and revenue from cloud subscription services. Autodesk’s existing customers who are using a currently supported version of a product can upgrade to the latest release of the product by paying a separate fee at current available prices. An existing customer also has the option to upgrade to a different product, which generally has a higher price, for a premium fee. Autodesk’s product license revenue from distributors and resellers is generally recognized at the time title to Autodesk’s product passes to the distributor or reseller, provided all other criteria for revenue recognition are met. Autodesk establishes reserves for product returns based on historical experience of actual product returns, estimated channel inventory levels, the timing of new product introductions, channel sell-in for applicable markets and other factors. These reserves are recorded as a direct reduction of revenue and accounts receivable at the time the related revenue is recognized. Revenues for Autodesk's cloud subscription services are recognized ratably over the contract term commencing with the date the service is made available to the customer and all other revenue recognition criteria have been satisfied. (2) Other Revenue Other revenue includes revenue from consulting, training, Autodesk Developers Network and Creative Finishing customer support, and is recognized over time, as the services are performed. Maintenance revenue consists of revenue from the Company’s maintenance program. Under this program, customers are eligible to receive unspecified upgrades when-and-if-available, downloadable training courses and on-line support. Autodesk recognizes maintenance revenue from its maintenance program ratably over the maintenance service contract periods |

| Taxes Collected from Customers | Taxes Collected from Customers Autodesk nets taxes collected from customers against those remitted to government authorities in the consolidated financial statements. Accordingly, taxes collected from customers are not reported as revenue |

| Stock-Based Compensation Expense, Policy | Stock-based Compensation Expense On the date of grant, Autodesk measures the fair value of all stock-based payments (including grants of stock options, employee stock purchases related to the employee stock purchase plan (“ESP Plan”), and restricted stock units) to employees and directors and records the related expense in Autodesk’s Consolidated Statements of Operations. Share-based compensation cost for stock options and employee stock purchases related to the ESP Plan ("stock-based awards") are estimated at the grant date based on the fair-value as calculated using the Black-Scholes-Merton (“BSM”) option-pricing model. Share-based compensation cost for restricted stock units is measured based on the closing fair market value of the Company's common stock on the date of grant. The estimated fair value of stock-based awards and restricted stock is amortized to expense on a straight-line basis over the awards’ vesting period. The following table summarizes stock-based compensation expense for fiscal 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively, as follows:
Autodesk uses the BSM option-pricing model to estimate the fair value of stock-based awards based on the following assumptions:
Autodesk estimates expected volatility for stock-based awards based on the average of the following two measures. The first is a measure of historical volatility in the trading market for the Company’s common stock, and the second is the implied volatility of traded forward call options to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock. Autodesk estimates the expected life of stock-based awards using both exercise behavior and post-vesting termination behavior as well as consideration of outstanding options. Autodesk did not pay cash dividends in fiscal 2013, 2012 or 2011 and does not anticipate paying any cash dividends in the foreseeable future. Consequently, an expected dividend yield of zero is used in the BSM option pricing model. The risk-free interest rate used in the BSM option pricing model for stock-based awards is the historical yield on U.S. Treasury securities with equivalent remaining lives. Autodesk only recognizes expense for the stock-based awards that are ultimately expected to vest. Therefore, Autodesk has developed an estimate of the number of awards expected to cancel prior to vesting (“forfeiture rate”). The forfeiture rate is estimated based on historical pre-vest cancellation experience, and is applied to all stock-based awards. The Company estimates forfeitures at the time of grant and revises those estimates in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates |

| Net Income Per Share, Policy | Net Income Per Share Basic net income per share is computed based on the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the period, excluding stock options and restricted stock units. Diluted net income per share is computed based upon the weighted average shares of common shares outstanding for the period and potentially dilutive common shares, including the effect of stock options and restricted stock units under the treasury stock method |

| Accounting Standards in Fiscal 2012, Policy | Accounting Standards in Fiscal 2013 With the exception of those discussed below, there have been no recent changes in accounting pronouncements issued by the FASB or adopted by the Company during the fiscal year ended January 31, 2013, that are of significance, or potential significance, to the Company. Accounting Standards Adopted In September 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-8 regarding ASC Topic 350 “Intangibles – Goodwill and Other.” This ASU allows for the option to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether the existence of events or circumstances leads to a determination that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. If, after assessing the totality of events or circumstances, it is more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit is greater than its carrying value, then performing the two-step impairment test is unnecessary. Autodesk adopted ASU 2011-8 effective February 1, 2012. The adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on Autodesk's consolidated statements of financial position, results of operations or cash flows. In June 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-5 regarding ASC Topic 220 “Comprehensive Income.” This ASU eliminates the option to present components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of changes in stockholders’ equity and requires the presentation of the total of comprehensive income, the components of net income, and the components of other comprehensive income either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. In December 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-12, an amendment to an existing accounting standard which defers the requirement to present components of reclassifications of other comprehensive income on the face of the income statement. Autodesk adopted ASU 2011-5 and ASU 2011-12 effective February 1, 2012. This accounting pronouncement impacted the presentation of other comprehensive income but did not impact Autodesk's consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows. In May 2011, FASB issued ASU 2011-4 regarding ASC Topic 820 “Fair Value Measurement.” This ASU amends the fair value measurement guidance and includes enhanced disclosure requirements primarily around Level 3 fair value measurements based on unobservable inputs. Autodesk adopted ASU 2011-4 effective February 1, 2012. The adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on Autodesk's consolidated statements of financial position, results of operations or cash flows. |

The element may be used in both the balance sheet and disclosure in the same submission. This item includes currency on hand as well as demand deposits with banks or financial institutions. It also includes other kinds of accounts that have the general characteristics of demand deposits in that the Company may deposit additional funds at any time and also effectively may withdraw funds at any time without prior notice or penalty. Cash equivalents, excluding items classified as marketable securities, include short-term, highly liquid investments that are both readily convertible to known amounts of cash, and so near their maturity that they present minimal risk of changes in value because of changes in interest rates. Generally, only investments with original maturities of three months or less qualify under that definition. Original maturity means original maturity to the entity holding the investment. For example, both a three-month US Treasury bill and a three-year Treasury note purchased three months from maturity qualify as cash equivalents. However, a Treasury note purchased three years ago does not become a cash equivalent when its remaining maturity is three months. Reference 1: http://www.xbrl.org/2003/role/presentationRef
