Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
Basis of Presentation	Basis of Presentation The accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of Autodesk, Inc. (“Autodesk,” “we,” “us,” “our,” or the “Company”) as of October 31, 2015 , and for the three and nine months ended October 31, 2015 and 2014 , have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") for interim financial information along with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by GAAP for annual financial statements. In management’s opinion, Autodesk made all adjustments (consisting of normal, recurring and non-recurring adjustments) during the quarter that were considered necessary for the fair statement of the financial position and operating results of the Company. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. In addition, the results of operations for the three and nine months ended October 31, 2015 are not necessarily indicative of the results for the entire fiscal year ending January 31, 2016 , or for any other period. There have been no material changes to Autodesk's significant accounting policies as compared to the significant accounting policies disclosed in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2015 . These unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and related notes, together with management’s discussion and analysis of financial position and results of operations contained in Autodesk’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2015 , filed on March 18, 2015. Prior Period Adjustments Autodesk previously established a valuation allowance against the Company’s deferred tax assets during the three months ended July 31, 2015. In the course of preparing the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for the three and nine months ended October 31, 2015 , Autodesk determined that it had understated income tax expense by $33.1 million for the three and six months ended July 31, 2015, primarily related to an error in the establishment of the valuation allowance, which had been understated at July 31, 2015. Autodesk performed the analysis required by Staff Accounting Bulletin 99, Materiality , to evaluate the materiality of the error, quantitatively and qualitatively, and concluded it was not material to the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements as of July 31, 2015 and for the three and six month periods ended July 31, 2015. However, in light of the significance of a correction of the error to the results for the three months ended October 31, 2015, Autodesk chose to correct the error by revising the previously reported results for the three and six months ended July 31, 2015, to include the additional $33.1 million of income tax expense associated with the establishment of the valuation allowance. See Note 6 , " Income Tax ," in the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion. During the quarter ended April 30, 2015, Autodesk determined that it had not correctly accounted for certain liabilities primarily related to employee benefits and unclaimed property. Accordingly, during the nine months ended October 31, 2015 , we recorded $5.7 million of additional operating expenses related to prior periods. As these adjustments were related to the correction of errors, Autodesk performed the analysis required by Staff Accounting Bulletin 99, Materiality , and Staff Accounting Bulletin 108, Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements When Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements . Based on this analysis, Autodesk concluded that the effect of the errors was not material to the financial position, results of operations or cash flows of any prior fiscal year from both a quantitative and qualitative perspective and is not anticipated to be material to the full fiscal year 2016.

New Accounting Pronouncements and Changes in Accounting Principles [Abstract]
Recently Issued Accounting Standards	Recently Issued Accounting Standards With the exception of those discussed below, there have been no recent changes in accounting pronouncements issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) or adopted by the Company during the nine months ended October 31, 2015 , that are of significance, or potential significance, to the Company. Accounting Standards Adopted Effective in the third quarter of fiscal 2016, Autodesk elected to early adopt FABS's Accounting Standards Update No. 2015-16 ("ASU 2015-16") regarding ASC Topic 805 "Business Combinations: Simplifying the Accounting for Measurement-Period Adjustments." The amendments in ASU 2015-16 eliminate the requirement to restate prior period financial statements for measurement period adjustments. The amendments also require that the cumulative impact of a measurement period adjustment (including the impact on prior periods) be recognized in the reporting period in which the adjustment is identified. The amendments for ASU-2015-16 were prospectively applied and did not have a material impact on Autodesk's consolidated financial statements. Effective in the second quarter of fiscal 2016, Autodesk elected to early adopt FASB's Accounting Standards Update 2015-03 (“ASU 2015-03”) regarding Subtopic 835-30 “Interest - Imputation of Interest: Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs.” The amendments in ASU 2015-03 require that debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability, consistent with debt discounts. The standard requires retrospective application and represents a change in accounting principle. The adoption of ASU 2015-03 resulted in a $4.1 million retrospective reduction of both our other assets and long term notes payable, net, as of January 31, 2015. Recently Issued Accounting Standards In November 2015, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2015-17 ("ASU 2015-17") regarding ASC Topic 470 "Income Taxes: Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes." The amendments in ASU 2015-17 eliminate the requirement to bifurcate Deferred Taxes between current and non-current on the balance sheet and requires that deferred tax liabilities and assets be classified as noncurrent on the balance sheet. The amendments for ASU-2015-17 can be applied retrospectively or prospectively and early adoption is permitted. Autodesk does not expect ASU 2015-17 to have a material impact on Autodesk's consolidated financial statements. In May 2015, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2015-07 ("ASU 2015-07") regarding ASC Topic 820 "Fair Value Measurement: Disclosures for Investments in Certain Entities That Calculate Net Asset Value per Share (or Its Equivalent)." The amendments in ASU 2015-07 remove the requirement to categorize within the fair value hierarchy all investments for which fair value is measured using the net asset value per share practical expedient. The amendments also limit certain disclosures to investments for which the entity has elected to measure at fair value using the net asset value per share practical expedient. The amendments in ASU 2015-07 are effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2015. Early adoption is permitted. The amendments should be applied retrospectively by removing from the fair value hierarchy any investments for which fair value is measured using the net asset value per share practical expedient. Autodesk does not expect ASU 2015-07 to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements. In April 2015, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2015-05 ("ASU 2015-05") regarding Subtopic 350-40, “Intangibles - Goodwill and Other - Internal-Use Software: Customer's Accounting for Fees Paid in a Cloud Computing Arrangement.” The amendments in this ASU provide guidance about whether a cloud computing arrangement includes a software license. If a cloud computing arrangement includes a software license, the customer should account for the software license element of the arrangement consistent with other software licenses. If a cloud computing arrangement does not include a software license, the customer should account for the arrangement as a service contract. The amendments in ASU 2015-05 are effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2015. Early adoption is permitted. The amendments in ASU 2015-05 may be applied either prospectively to all arrangements entered into or materially modified after the effective date or retrospectively. Autodesk does not expect ASU 2015-05 to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements. In May 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2014-09 ("ASU 2014-09") regarding ASC Topic 606 “Revenue from Contracts with Customers.” ASU 2014-09 provides principles for recognizing revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. On July 7, 2015, the FASB amended ASU 2014-09 to defer the effective date by one year with early adoption permitted as of the original effective date. ASU 2014-09 will be effective for Autodesk’s fiscal year beginning February 1, 2018 unless we elect the earlier date of February 1, 2017. Autodesk is currently evaluating the accounting, transition and disclosure requirements of the standard and can neither estimate the current financial statement impact of adoption, nor the effective date election.

Risks and Uncertainties [Abstract]
Concentration of Credit Risk	Concentration of Credit Risk Autodesk places its cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities in highly liquid instruments with, and in the custody of, diversified financial institutions globally with high credit ratings and limits the amounts invested with any one institution, type of security and issuer. Autodesk’s primary commercial banking relationship is with Citigroup Inc. and its global affiliates. Citibank, N.A., an affiliate of Citigroup, is one of the lead lenders and an agent in the syndicate of Autodesk’s $400.0 million line of credit facility. Total sales to the distributor Tech Data Corporation and its global affiliates (“Tech Data”) accounted for 26% and 25% of Autodesk’s total net revenue for the three and nine months ended October 31, 2015 , respectively, and 26% for both the three and nine months ended October 31, 2014 . The majority of the net revenue from sales to Tech Data relates to Autodesk’s Architecture, Engineering and Construction (“AEC”) segment and is for sales made outside of the United States. In addition, Tech Data accounted for 25% and 22% of trade accounts receivable at October 31, 2015 and January 31, 2015 , respectively.

(3) Included in “ Prepaid expenses and other current assets ,” “ Other assets ,” or “ Other accrued liabilities ” in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. 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 up to 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, that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements 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 three and nine months ended October 31, 2015 . 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 its 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 convertible debt securities and derivative contracts which are valued using probability weighted discounted cash flow models as 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 nine months ended October 31, 2015 was as follows: Fair Value Measurements Using Significant Unobservable Inputs (Level 3) Derivative Contracts Convertible Debt Securities Total Balance at January 31, 2015 $ 0.9 $ 5.1 $ 6.0 Purchases 4.3 6.2 10.5 Settlements (5.7 ) (8.0 ) (13.7 ) Gains included in earnings 1.0 — 1.0 Gains included in OCI — 0.4 0.4 Balance at October 31, 2015 $ 0.5 $ 3.7 $ 4.2 The following table summarizes the estimated fair value of Autodesk's “available-for-sale securities” classified by the contractual maturity date of the security: October 31, 2015 Cost Fair Value Due within 1 year $ 903.0 $ 902.8 Due in 1 year through 5 years 543.4 543.8 Total $ 1,446.4 $ 1,446.6 As of October 31, 2015 and January 31, 2015 , Autodesk had no material securities in a continuous unrealized loss position for greater than twelve months. As of October 31, 2015 and January 31, 2015 , Autodesk had $74.2 million and $52.6 million , respectively, in direct investments in privately held companies accounted for under the cost method, which are periodically assessed for other-than-temporary impairment. 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. If Autodesk determines that an other-than-temporary impairment has occurred, Autodesk writes down the investment to its fair value. During the nine months ended October 31, 2015 , Autodesk recorded $0.2 million in other-than-temporary impairment on its privately held equity investments. During the nine months ended October 31, 2014 , Autodesk recorded a $3.4 million other-than-temporary impairment on its privately held equity investments. The sales or redemptions of “available-for-sale securities” during the nine months ended October 31, 2015 and 2014 resulted in gain s of $ 0.3 million and $ 0.7 million , respectively. Gains and losses resulting from the sale or redemption of "available-for-sale securities" are recorded in “ Interest and other expense, net ” on the Company's Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. Proceeds from the sale and maturity of marketable securities for the nine months ended October 31, 2015 and 2014 were $1.2 billion and $0.8 billion , respectively. 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 and twelve months in the future. Autodesk does not enter into derivative instrument transactions for trading or speculative purposes. The bank counterparties to the derivative contracts potentially 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 ” 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 ” to “ Interest and other expense, net ” in the Company's Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements at that time. The net notional amounts of these contracts are presented net settled and were $328.3 million at October 31, 2015 and $336.6 million at January 31, 2015 . Outstanding contracts are recognized as either assets or liabilities on the balance sheet at fair value. The majority of the net gain of $20.6 million remaining in “ Accumulated other comprehensive loss ” as of October 31, 2015 is expected to be recognized into earnings within the next twelve months. Derivatives not designated as hedging instruments Autodesk uses foreign currency contracts that 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 expense, 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 are presented net settled and were $1.5 million at October 31, 2015 and $44.6 million at January 31, 2015 . 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 expense, net .” Fair Value of Derivative Instruments The fair values of derivative instruments in Autodesk’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets were as follows as of October 31, 2015 and January 31, 2015 : Balance Sheet Location Fair Value at October 31, 2015 January 31, 2015 Derivative Assets Foreign currency contracts designated as cash flow hedges Prepaid expenses and other current assets (1) $ 2.9 $ 20.4 Derivatives not designated as hedging instruments Prepaid expenses and other current assets and Other assets 1.3 0.9 Total derivative assets $ 4.2 $ 21.3 Derivative Liabilities Foreign currency contracts designated as cash flow hedges Other accrued liabilities (2) $ 2.0 $ 5.4 Derivatives not designated as hedging instruments Other accrued liabilities 0.6 — Total derivative liabilities $ 2.6 $ 5.4 ____________________ (1) Considering Autodesk's master netting arrangements, these contracts are presented net settled.

Stock-based Compensation Expens

Stock-based Compensation Expense	9 Months Ended
	Oct. 31, 2015
Disclosure of Compensation Related Costs, Share-based Payments [Abstract]
Stock-based Compensation Expense	Stock-based Compensation Expense Stock Plans As of October 31, 2015 , Autodesk maintained two active stock 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’ Plan (“2012 Directors' Plan”), which is available only to non-employee directors. Additionally, there are two 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 . On June 10, 2015, Autodesk's stockholders approved an amendment to the 2012 Employee Plan, which increased the number of shares reserved for issuance under the plan by 12.5 million shares. 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 45.1 million shares, which includes 39.1 million shares reserved under the 2012 Employee Plan, and 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 October 31, 2015 , 27.7 million shares subject to options or restricted stock unit awards have been granted under the 2012 Employee Plan. Options and restricted stock units that were granted under the 2012 Employee 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 October 31, 2015 , 19.8 million shares were available for future issuance under the 2012 Employee Plan. The 2012 Directors' 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. 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 October 31, 2015 , 0.7 million shares subject to restricted stock units have been granted under the 2012 Directors' Plan. Restricted stock units that were granted under the 2012 Directors' Plan vest over one to three years from the date of grant. On March 12, 2015, the Board reduced the number of shares reserved for issuance under the 2012 Directors' Plan by 0.9 million shares, so that 1.7 million shares are now reserved for issuance under the 2012 Directors' Plan. The 2012 Directors' Plan will expire on June 30, 2022 . At October 31, 2015 , 1.0 million shares were available for future issuance under the 2012 Directors' Plan. The following sections summarize activity under Autodesk’s stock plans. Stock Options: A summary of stock option activity for the nine months ended October 31, 2015 is as follows: Number of Shares Weighted average exercise price per share Weighted average remaining contractual term Aggregate Intrinsic Value (2) (in millions) (in years) (in millions) Options outstanding at January 31, 2015 2.7 $ 34.46 Granted (1) — — Exercised (0.7 ) 31.43 Canceled/Forfeited — — Options vested, exercisable and outstanding at October 31, 2015 2.0 $ 35.63 3.8 $ 38.4 Options available for grant at October 31, 2015 20.8 _______________ (1) Autodesk did not grant stock options in the nine months ended October 31, 2015 . (2) Represents the total pre-tax intrinsic value, based on Autodesk’s closing stock price of $55.19 per share as of October 31, 2015 , which would have been received by the option holders had all option holders exercised their options as of that date. As of October 31, 2015 , compensation cost related to stock options has been fully recognized. The following table summarizes information about the pre-tax intrinsic value of options exercised during the three and nine months ended October 31, 2015 and 2014 : Three Months Ended October 31, Nine Months Ended October 31, 2015 2014 2015 2014 Pre-tax intrinsic value of options exercised (1) $ 2.6 $ 10.3 $ 20.0 $ 54.5 _______________ (1) The intrinsic value of options exercised is calculated as the difference between the exercise price of the option and the market value of the stock on the date of exercise. The following table summarizes information about options vested, exercisable and outstanding at October 31, 2015 : Number of Shares (in millions) Weighted average contractual life (in years) Weighted average exercise price Aggregate intrinsic value (1) (in millions) Range of per-share exercise prices: $12.31 - $29.49 0.7 $ 24.62 $29.50 - $41.62 0.8 39.68 $42.39 - $43.81 0.5 43.80 Options vested, exercisable and outstanding 2.0 3.8 $ 35.63 $ 38.4 _______________ (1) Represents the total pre-tax intrinsic value, based on Autodesk’s closing stock price of $55.19 per share as of October 31, 2015 , which would have been received by the option holders had all option holders exercised their options as of that date. These options will expire if not exercised at specific dates ranging through September 2022 . Restricted Stock Units: A summary of restricted stock unit activity for the nine months ended October 31, 2015 is as follows: Unvested Restricted Stock Units Weighted average grant date fair value per share (in thousands) Unvested restricted stock units at January 31, 2015 7,801.3 $ 48.46 Granted 3,268.8 50.42 Vested (2,949.1 ) 44.61 Canceled/Forfeited (364.6 ) 49.86 Performance Adjustment (1) 34.6 54.92 Unvested restricted stock units at October 31, 2015 7,791.0 $ 50.60 _______________ (1) Based on Autodesk's financial results for fiscal 2015, 2014 and 2013 performance period. The performance stock units were earned at 113.8% , 65.8% , and 92.3% of the target award, respectively. The vesting of the 2013 performance stock units was subject to the holders satisfying the remaining service condition of the awards, which ended in March 2015. For the restricted stock units granted during the nine months ended October 31, 2015 and 2014 , the weighted average grant date fair value was $50.42 and $52.89 , respectively. The fair value of the shares vested during the nine months ended October 31, 2015 and 2014 was $156.6 million and $110.5 million , respectively. During the nine months ended October 31, 2015 , Autodesk granted 2.8 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 primarily expensed ratably over the vesting period. Autodesk recorded stock-based compensation expense related to restricted stock units of $37.9 million and $103.7 million during the three and nine months ended October 31, 2015 , respectively. Autodesk recorded stock-based compensation expense related to restricted stock units of $31.2 million and $82.1 million during the three and nine months ended October 31, 2014 , respectively. As of October 31, 2015 , total compensation cost not yet recognized of $250.6 million related to non-vested restricted stock units is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 1.8 years. At October 31, 2015 , the number of restricted stock units granted but unvested was 7.0 million . During the nine months ended October 31, 2015 , Autodesk granted 0.4 million performance restricted stock units (“PSUs”) for which the ultimate number of shares earned is determined based on the achievement of performance criteria at the end of the stated service and performance period. The performance criteria for these grants are based upon billings and subscriptions goals adopted by the Compensation and Human Resource Committee, as well as total stockholder return compared against the S&P Computer Software Select Index (“Relative TSR”). Each PSU covers a three year period: • Up to one third of the PSUs may vest following year one, depending upon the achievement of the billings and subscriptions goals for year one as well as 1-year Relative TSR (covering year one). • Up to one third of the PSUs may vest following year two, depending upon the achievement of the billings and subscriptions goals for year two as well as 2-year Relative TSR (covering years one and two). • Up to one third of the PSUs may vest following year three, depending upon the achievement of the billings and subscriptions goals for year three as well as 3-year Relative TSR (covering years one, two and three). PSUs 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. Autodesk has determined the grant-date fair value for these awards using a Monte Carlo simulation model since the awards are subject to a market condition. The fair value of the PSUs is expensed using the accelerated attribution over the vesting period. Autodesk recorded stock-based compensation expense related to PSUs of $5.7 million and $17.2 million for the three and nine months ended October 31, 2015 , respectively. Autodesk recorded stock-based compensation expense related to PSUs of $4.9 million and $12.7 million during the three and nine months ended October 31, 2014 , respectively. As of October 31, 2015 , total compensation cost not yet recognized of $9.6 million related to non-vested performance restricted stock units, is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 1.1 years. At October 31, 2015 , the number of PSUs granted but not vested was 0.8 million . 1998 Employee Qualified Stock Purchase Plan (“ESPP”) Under Autodesk’s ESPP, 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 no less than 85% of fair market value as defined in the ESPP. At October 31, 2015 , a total of 38.6 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 ESPP, the Company issues shares on the first trading day following March 31 and September 30 of each fiscal year. The ESPP expires during fiscal 2018. Autodesk issued 1.0 million and 2.1 million shares under the ESPP during the three and nine months ended October 31, 2015 , with an average price of $35.59 and $36.29 per share. During the three and nine months ended October 31, 2014 , Autodesk issued 1.0 million and 2.1 million shares under the ESPP, at an average price of $34.19 and $33.91 per share. The weighted average grant date fair value of awards granted under the ESPP was $11.91 and $11.85 during the three and nine months ended October 31, 2015 , calculated as of the award grant date using the Black-Scholes Merton (“BSM") option pricing model. The weighted average grant date fair value of awards granted under the ESPP during the three and nine months ended October 31, 2014 , calculated as of the award grant date using the BSM option pricing model, was $15.44 and $15.14 per share. Stock-based Compensation Expense The following table summarizes stock-based compensation expense for the three and nine months ended October 31, 2015 and 2014 , respectively, as follows: Three Months Ended October 31, 2015 2014 Cost of license and other revenue $ 1.7 $ 1.2 Cost of subscription 1.5 1.1 Marketing and sales 22.3 19.4 Research and development 17.5 14.7 General and administrative 7.2 6.7 Stock-based compensation expense related to stock awards and ESPP purchases 50.2 43.1 Tax benefit — (11.7 ) Stock-based compensation expense related to stock awards and ESPP purchases, net of tax $ 50.2 $ 31.4 Nine Months Ended October 31, 2015 2014 Cost of license and other revenue $ 4.4 $ 3.2 Cost of subscription 4.1 2.9 Marketing and sales 61.3 51.0 Research and development 49.9 39.3 General and administrative 21.4 20.1 Stock-based compensation expense related to stock awards and ESPP purchases 141.1 116.5 Tax benefit — (31.3 ) Stock-based compensation expense related to stock awards and ESPP purchases, net of tax $ 141.1 $ 85.2 Stock-based Compensation Expense Assumptions Autodesk determines the grant-date fair value of its share-based payment awards using a BSM option pricing model or the quoted stock price on the date of grant, unless the awards are subject to market conditions, in which case Autodesk uses a binomial-lattice model (e.g., Monte Carlo simulation model). The Monte Carlo simulation model utilizes multiple input variables to estimate the probability that market conditions will be achieved. Autodesk uses the following assumptions to estimate the fair value of stock-based awards: Three Months Ended October 31, 2015 Three Months Ended October 31, 2014 Performance Stock Unit (1) ESPP Performance Stock Unit (1) ESPP Range of expected volatilities N/A 29% N/A 29 - 30% Range of expected lives (in years) N/A 0.5 - 2.0 N/A 0.5 - 2.0 Expected dividends N/A —% N/A —% Range of risk-free interest rates N/A 0.2 - 0.7% N/A 0.0 - 0.6% Nine Months Ended October 31, 2015 Nine Months Ended October 31, 2014 Performance Stock Unit ESPP Performance Stock Unit ESPP Range of expected volatilities 27% 28 - 29% 30% 29 - 33% Range of expected lives (in years) N/A 0.5 - 2.0 N/A 0.5 - 2.0 Expected dividends —% —% —% —% Range of risk-free interest rates 0.2% 0.1 - 0.7% 0.1% 0.0 - 0.6% _______________ (1) Autodesk did not grant PSUs in the three months ended October 31, 2015 and 2014 that were subject to market conditions. 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. The expected volatility for PSUs subject to market conditions includes the expected volatility of Autodesk's peer companies within the S&P Computer Software Select Index. 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 does not currently pay, and does not anticipate paying in the foreseeable future, any cash dividends. Consequently, an expected dividend yield of zero is used in the BSM option pricing model and the Monte Carlo simulation model. The risk-free interest rate used in the BSM option pricing model and the Monte Carlo simulation model for stock-based awards is the historical yield on U.S. Treasury securities with equivalent remaining lives. Autodesk recognizes expense only 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.

Income Tax

Income Tax	9 Months Ended
	Oct. 31, 2015
Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]
Income Tax	Income Tax Autodesk's income tax expense was $ 21.3 million and $ 293.5 million for the three and nine months ended October 31, 2015 , respectively, relative to a pre-tax loss of $ 22.5 million and pre-tax income of $ 0.2 million , respectively, for the same periods. For the nine months ended October 31, 2015, tax expense consists primarily of foreign taxes and changes to valuation allowances, including a $ 230.8 million valuation allowance against the Company’s U.S. federal and remaining state deferred tax assets recorded during the three months ended July 31, 2015. Autodesk regularly assesses the need for a valuation allowance against its deferred tax assets. In making that assessment, Autodesk considers both positive and negative evidence related to the likelihood of realization of the deferred tax assets to determine, based on the weight of available evidence, whether it is more-likely-than-not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. In evaluating the need for a valuation allowance, Autodesk considered recent cumulative losses in the United States arising from the Company's business model transition as a significant piece of negative evidence. As a result, Autodesk previously established a valuation allowance against the Company’s deferred tax assets in the three months ended July 31, 2015. In the course of preparing the consolidated financial statements for the three months ended October 31, 2015, Autodesk determined that it had understated income tax expense by $33.1 million for the three and six months ended July 31, 2015, primarily related to an error in the establishment of the valuation allowance, which had been understated at July 31, 2015. Autodesk evaluated the materiality of the error, quantitatively and qualitatively, and concluded it was not material to the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements as of July 31, 2015 or for the three and six month periods ended July 31, 2015. However, in light of the significance of a correction of the error to the results for the three months ended October 31, 2015, Autodesk chose to correct the error by revising the previously reported results for the three and six months ended July 31, 2015, to include the additional $33.1 million of income tax expense primarily related to the establishment of the valuation allowance. The following table summarizes the impact of adjusting the condensed consolidated income statement balances presented for the three and six months ended July 31, 2015: As previously reported As adjusted (In millions, except per share data) Three Months Ended July 31, 2015 Adjustment Three Months Ended July 31, 2015 Provision for income tax $ (236.4 ) $ (33.1 ) $ (269.5 ) Net loss (235.5 ) (33.1 ) (268.6 ) Basic and diluted net loss per share $ (1.04 ) $ (0.14 ) $ (1.18 ) Six Months Ended July 31, 2015 Adjustment Six Months Ended July 31, 2015 Provision for income tax $ (239.1 ) $ (33.1 ) $ (272.2 ) Net loss (216.4 ) (33.1 ) (249.5 ) Basic and diluted net loss per share $ (0.95 ) $ (0.15 ) $ (1.10 ) The following table summarizes the impact of adjusting the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet balances as of July 31, 2015: As previously reported As adjusted (In millions) July 31, 2015 Adjustment July 31, 2015 Current deferred tax liabilities (1) $ 8.3 $ 1.2 $ 9.5 Accrued income taxes 52.3 (29.4 ) 22.9 Long term deferred tax liabilities 28.9 25.1 54.0 Long term income tax payable 124.0 36.2 160.2 Retained earnings $ 164.4 $ (33.1 ) $ 131.3 _______________ (1) Included in " Other accrued liabilities " in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The cumulative valuation allowances against U.S. federal and state deferred tax were $312.3 million and $26.7 million at October 31, 2015 and January 31, 2015 , respectively. As of October 31, 2015 , the Company had $254.0 million of gross unrecognized tax benefits, excluding interest, of which approximately $236.6 million represents the amount of unrecognized tax benefits that would impact the effective tax rate, if recognized. However, this rate impact would be offset to the extent that recognition of unrecognized tax benefits currently presented as a reduction of deferred tax assets would increase the valuation allowance. 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.

Acquisitions

Acquisitions	9 Months Ended

Business Combinations [Abstract]
Acquisitions	Acquisitions During the nine months ended October 31, 2015 , Autodesk completed several business combinations and technology acquisitions for total cash consideration of approximately $ 105.0 million . Pro forma results of operations have not been presented because the effects of the acquisitions, individually and in the aggregate, were not material to Autodesk’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements . For acquisitions accounted for as business combinations, Autodesk recorded the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values at the date of acquisition. The fair values assigned to the identifiable intangible assets acquired were based on estimates and assumptions determined by management. Autodesk recorded the excess of consideration transferred over the aggregate fair values as goodwill. The goodwill recorded is primarily attributable to synergies expected to arise after the acquisitions. The following table summarizes the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed by major class for the business combinations and technology acquisitions completed during the nine months ended October 31, 2015 : October 31, 2015 Developed technologies $ 26.8 Customer relationships and other non-current intangible assets 12.8 Trade name 4.6 Goodwill 63.4 Deferred revenue (current and non-current) (0.7 ) Deferred tax liability (2.4 ) Net tangible assets 0.5 Total $ 105.0 For certain business combinations, the allocation of purchase price consideration to certain assets and liabilities is not yet finalized. For the items not yet finalized, Autodesk's estimates and assumptions are subject to change within the measurement period (up to one year from the acquisition date). The primary areas of the preliminary purchase price allocation that are not yet finalized are amounts for tax assets and liabilities, pending finalization of estimates and assumptions in respect of certain tax aspects of the transaction and residual goodwill.

Goodwill and Intangible Assets Disclosure [Abstract]
Goodwill	Goodwill The change in the carrying amount of goodwill by reporting unit during the nine months ended October 31, 2015 is as follows: Platform Solutions and Emerging Business Architecture, Engineering and Construction Manufacturing Media and Entertainment Delcam (1) Total Balances as of January 31, 2015 Goodwill $ 327.5 $ 427.0 $ 422.7 $ 245.2 $ 183.0 $ 1,605.4 Accumulated impairment losses — — — (149.2 ) — (149.2 ) 327.5 427.0 422.7 96.0 183.0 1,456.2 Addition arising from other acquisitions 32.2 4.2 16.6 10.4 — 63.4 Effect of foreign currency translation, purchase accounting adjustments, and other (0.5 ) (2.0 ) (1.2 ) 0.1 (1.0 ) (4.6 ) Balances as of October 31, 2015 Goodwill 359.2 429.2 438.1 255.7 182.0 1,664.2 Accumulated impairment losses — — — (149.2 ) — (149.2 ) $ 359.2 $ 429.2 $ 438.1 $ 106.5 $ 182.0 $ 1,515.0 _______________ (1) Delcam is a separate reporting unit within our Manufacturing ("MFG") operating segment. Goodwill consists of the excess of consideration transferred over the fair value of net assets acquired in business combinations. Autodesk assigns goodwill to the reporting unit 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. The company has established reporting units based upon its current reporting structure. When goodwill is assessed for impairment, Autodesk has the option to perform an assessment of qualitative factors of impairment (“optional assessment”) prior to necessitating a two-step quantitative impairment test. Should the optional assessment be used for any given fiscal year, qualitative factors to consider include cost factors; financial performance; legal, regulatory, contractual, political, business, or other factors; entity specific factors; industry and market considerations, macroeconomic conditions, and other relevant events and factors affecting the reporting unit. 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. Therefore, the two-step quantitative impairment test is necessary when either Autodesk does not use the optional assessment or, as a result of the optional assessment, it is not more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit is greater than its carrying value. In performing the two-step impairment test, 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. As changes in business conditions and assumptions occur, Autodesk may be required to record impairment charges. 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.

The proceeds of the 2012 Notes are available for general corporate purposes. Autodesk may redeem the 2012 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 2012 Notes at a price equal to 101% of their principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the date of repurchase. The 2012 Notes contain restrictive covenants that limit Autodesk's 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 its assets, subject to important qualifications and exceptions. Based on quoted market prices, the fair value of the 2012 Notes was approximately $ 749.7 million as of October 31, 2015 . Autodesk’s line of credit facility permits unsecured short-term borrowings of up to $400.0 million , with an option to request an increase in the amount of the credit facility by up to an additional $100.0 million , and is available for working capital or other business needs. This 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. The financial covenants consist of a leverage ratio, and an interest coverage ratio. The line of credit is syndicated with various financial institutions, including Citibank, N.A., an affiliate of Citigroup, which is one of the lead lenders and an agent. In May 2015, Autodesk amended and restated the credit agreement to extend the facility's maturity date from May 2018 to May 2020 and to amend the financial covenants. At October 31, 2015 , Autodesk was in compliance with the credit facility's covenants and had no outstanding borrowings on this line of credit.

Restructuring and Related Activities [Abstract]
Restructuring	Restructuring During fiscal 2014, the Board of Directors approved a world-wide restructuring plan in order to re-balance staffing levels to better align them with the evolving needs of the business. The restructuring plan included a reduction of approximately 85 positions and the consolidation of four leased facilities, with a total cost of approximately $15.0 million ("Fiscal 2014 Plan"). By July 31, 2014, the personnel and facilities related actions included in this restructuring plan were substantially complete. Autodesk did not record restructuring charges during the nine months ended October 31, 2015 . The following table sets forth the restructuring activities during the nine months ended October 31, 2015 : Balance at January 31, 2015 Additions Payments Adjustments (1) Balance at October 31, 2015 Fiscal 2014 Plan Lease termination and asset costs $ 1.4 $ — $ (0.3 ) $ 0.2 $ 1.3 Total $ 1.4 $ — $ (0.3 ) $ 0.2 $ 1.3 Current portion (2) $ 0.6 $ 0.8 Non-current portion (2) 0.8 0.5 Total $ 1.4 $ 1.3 ____________________ (1) Adjustments include the impact of foreign currency translation.

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]
Commitments and Contingencies	Commitments and Contingencies Guarantees and 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.

Class of Stock Disclosures [Abstract]
Common Stock Repurchase Program	Common Stock Repurchase Program Autodesk has a stock repurchase program that is used to offset dilution from the issuance of stock under the Company’s employee stock plans and for such other purposes as may be in the interests of Autodesk and its stockholders. Stock repurchases have the effect of returning excess cash generated from the Company’s business to stockholders. During the three and nine months ended October 31, 2015 , Autodesk repurchased and retired 3.2 million and 6.9 million shares at an average repurchase price of $46.33 and $51.59 per share, respectively. Common stock and additional paid-in capital and retained earnings were reduced by $72.2 million and $77.8 million , respectively, during the three months ended October 31, 2015 . Common stock and additional paid-in capital and retained earnings were reduced by $161.3 million and $196.4 million , respectively, during the nine months ended October 31, 2015 . At October 31, 2015 , 7.9 million shares remained available for repurchase under the repurchase program approved by the Board of Directors. During the nine months ended October 31, 2015 , 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 and economic conditions, the number of employee stock option exercises and stock issuances, the trading price of Autodesk common stock, cash on hand and available in the United States, cash requirements for acquisitions, and Company defined trading windows.

Earnings Per Share [Abstract]
Net (Loss) Income Per Share	Net (Loss) Income Per Share Basic net (loss) income per share is computed using the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the period, excluding stock options and restricted stock units. Diluted net (loss) income per share is based upon the weighted average number of 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 (loss) income per share amounts: Three Months Ended October 31, Nine Months Ended October 31, 2015 2014 2015 2014 Numerator: Net (loss) income $ (43.8 ) $ 10.7 $ (293.3 ) $ 70.3 Denominator: Denominator for basic net (loss) income per share—weighted average shares 225.3 226.9 226.5 227.1 Effect of dilutive securities (1) — 4.6 — 4.8 Denominator for dilutive net (loss) income per share 225.3 231.5 226.5 231.9 Basic net (loss) income per share $ (0.19 ) $ 0.05 $ (1.29 ) $ 0.31 Diluted net (loss) income per share $ (0.19 ) $ 0.05 $ (1.29 ) $ 0.30 ____________________ (1) The effect of dilutive securities of 3.4 million and 4.0 million shares for the three and nine months ended October 31, 2015 , respectively, have been excluded from the calculation of diluted net (loss) income per share as those shares would have been anti-dilutive due to the net (loss) incurred during those periods. The computation of diluted net (loss) 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 period. For the three and nine months ended October 31, 2015 , 0.6 million and 0.1 million potentially anti-dilutive shares, respectively, were excluded from the computation of diluted net (loss) income per share. For both the three and nine months ended October 31, 2014 , no potentially anti-dilutive shares were excluded from the computation of diluted net income per share.

Segments

Segments	9 Months Ended

Segment Reporting [Abstract]
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 has four reportable segments: AEC, MFG, Platform Solutions and Emerging Business ("PSEB"), and Media and Entertainment ("M&E"). Autodesk has no material inter-segment revenue. The AEC, MFG, and PSEB 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. 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 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 Infrastructure Design Suites, AutoCAD Civil 3D, AutoCAD Map 3D, and AutoCAD Architecture. MFG provides the manufacturers in automotive and transportation, industrial machinery, consumer products and building products with comprehensive digital prototyping solutions that bring 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, Autodesk Delcam products, AutoCAD Mechanical, and Autodesk Moldflow products. 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 AutoCAD and AutoCAD LT, the AutoCAD Design Suite and many other design products, including consumer design products, as well as from sales of licenses of other Autodesk's design products. M&E consists of two product groups: Animation, including design visualization, and Creative Finishing. Animation products, such as Autodesk Maya, Autodesk 3ds Max, Autodesk Entertainment Creation Suites, and Autodesk Shotgun products provide tools for digital sculpting, modeling, animation, effects, rendering and compositing, for design visualization, visual effects and games production. M&E products are also included in a number of PSEB, AEC, and MFG focused suites. Creative Finishing products, such as Autodesk Flame, Autodesk Smoke, Autodesk Flare, and Autodesk Lustre, 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” of Autodesk's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2015 . 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 9 , “ Goodwill .” Information concerning the operations of Autodesk’s reportable segments is as follows: Three Months Ended October 31, Nine Months Ended October 31, 2015 2014 2015 2014 Net revenue: Architecture, Engineering and Construction $ 224.9 $ 217.1 $ 695.0 $ 630.5 Manufacturing 174.9 169.7 530.7 485.2 Platform Solutions and Emerging Business 160.9 188.4 510.3 607.8 Media and Entertainment 39.1 42.8 119.8 124.1 $ 599.8 $ 618.0 $ 1,855.8 $ 1,847.6 Gross profit: Architecture, Engineering and Construction $ 202.0 $ 194.3 $ 628.5 $ 566.0 Manufacturing 155.2 152.8 464.5 437.0 Platform Solutions and Emerging Business 135.9 167.3 437.7 543.6 Media and Entertainment 30.5 32.1 94.9 93.3 Unallocated (1) (14.8 ) (14.5 ) (45.6 ) (44.9 ) $ 508.8 $ 532.0 $ 1,580.0 $ 1,595.0 _______________ (1) Unallocated amounts primarily relate to corporate expenses and other costs and expenses that are managed outside the reportable segments, including stock-based compensation expense.

Subsequent Events [Abstract]
Subsequent Events	On September 23, 2015, Autodesk entered into a share purchase agreement with FIT AG (“FIT”) to acquire all of the outstanding shares of netfabb GmbH (“netfabb”) for €39.6 million (approximately $42.5 million ) cash consideration. Autodesk simultaneously entered into an investment agreement with FIT for Autodesk to invest €25.5 million (approximately $27.4 million ) cash to acquire an equity interest in FIT. The netfabb acquisition and FIT investment transactions closed on November 12, 2015. netfabb is a Germany-based provider of industrial grade additive manufacturing software solutions supporting most major 3D printers. FIT is a German-based provider of rapid prototyping and additive design and manufacturing services. netfabb will be integrated into, and the related goodwill will be assigned to, Autodesk’s PSEB segment. The initial accounting for this acquisition was not complete as of December 9, 2015 , due to the timing of the acquisition. Autodesk used its non-U.S.-based cash for the transaction.

Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
Basis of Presentation	The accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of Autodesk, Inc. (“Autodesk,” “we,” “us,” “our,” or the “Company”) as of October 31, 2015 , and for the three and nine months ended October 31, 2015 and 2014 , have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") for interim financial information along with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by GAAP for annual financial statements. In management’s opinion, Autodesk made all adjustments (consisting of normal, recurring and non-recurring adjustments) during the quarter that were considered necessary for the fair statement of the financial position and operating results of the Company. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. In addition, the results of operations for the three and nine months ended October 31, 2015 are not necessarily indicative of the results for the entire fiscal year ending January 31, 2016 , or for any other period. There have been no material changes to Autodesk's significant accounting policies as compared to the significant accounting policies disclosed in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2015 . These unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and related notes, together with management’s discussion and analysis of financial position and results of operations contained in Autodesk’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2015 , filed on March 18, 2015.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards	Accounting Standards Adopted Effective in the third quarter of fiscal 2016, Autodesk elected to early adopt FABS's Accounting Standards Update No. 2015-16 ("ASU 2015-16") regarding ASC Topic 805 "Business Combinations: Simplifying the Accounting for Measurement-Period Adjustments." The amendments in ASU 2015-16 eliminate the requirement to restate prior period financial statements for measurement period adjustments. The amendments also require that the cumulative impact of a measurement period adjustment (including the impact on prior periods) be recognized in the reporting period in which the adjustment is identified. The amendments for ASU-2015-16 were prospectively applied and did not have a material impact on Autodesk's consolidated financial statements. Effective in the second quarter of fiscal 2016, Autodesk elected to early adopt FASB's Accounting Standards Update 2015-03 (“ASU 2015-03”) regarding Subtopic 835-30 “Interest - Imputation of Interest: Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs.” The amendments in ASU 2015-03 require that debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability, consistent with debt discounts. The standard requires retrospective application and represents a change in accounting principle. The adoption of ASU 2015-03 resulted in a $4.1 million retrospective reduction of both our other assets and long term notes payable, net, as of January 31, 2015. Recently Issued Accounting Standards In November 2015, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2015-17 ("ASU 2015-17") regarding ASC Topic 470 "Income Taxes: Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes." The amendments in ASU 2015-17 eliminate the requirement to bifurcate Deferred Taxes between current and non-current on the balance sheet and requires that deferred tax liabilities and assets be classified as noncurrent on the balance sheet. The amendments for ASU-2015-17 can be applied retrospectively or prospectively and early adoption is permitted. Autodesk does not expect ASU 2015-17 to have a material impact on Autodesk's consolidated financial statements. In May 2015, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2015-07 ("ASU 2015-07") regarding ASC Topic 820 "Fair Value Measurement: Disclosures for Investments in Certain Entities That Calculate Net Asset Value per Share (or Its Equivalent)." The amendments in ASU 2015-07 remove the requirement to categorize within the fair value hierarchy all investments for which fair value is measured using the net asset value per share practical expedient. The amendments also limit certain disclosures to investments for which the entity has elected to measure at fair value using the net asset value per share practical expedient. The amendments in ASU 2015-07 are effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2015. Early adoption is permitted. The amendments should be applied retrospectively by removing from the fair value hierarchy any investments for which fair value is measured using the net asset value per share practical expedient. Autodesk does not expect ASU 2015-07 to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements. In April 2015, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2015-05 ("ASU 2015-05") regarding Subtopic 350-40, “Intangibles - Goodwill and Other - Internal-Use Software: Customer's Accounting for Fees Paid in a Cloud Computing Arrangement.” The amendments in this ASU provide guidance about whether a cloud computing arrangement includes a software license. If a cloud computing arrangement includes a software license, the customer should account for the software license element of the arrangement consistent with other software licenses. If a cloud computing arrangement does not include a software license, the customer should account for the arrangement as a service contract. The amendments in ASU 2015-05 are effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2015. Early adoption is permitted. The amendments in ASU 2015-05 may be applied either prospectively to all arrangements entered into or materially modified after the effective date or retrospectively. Autodesk does not expect ASU 2015-05 to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements. In May 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2014-09 ("ASU 2014-09") regarding ASC Topic 606 “Revenue from Contracts with Customers.” ASU 2014-09 provides principles for recognizing revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. On July 7, 2015, the FASB amended ASU 2014-09 to defer the effective date by one year with early adoption permitted as of the original effective date. ASU 2014-09 will be effective for Autodesk’s fiscal year beginning February 1, 2018 unless we elect the earlier date of February 1, 2017. Autodesk is currently evaluating the accounting, transition and disclosure requirements of the standard and can neither estimate the current financial statement impact of adoption, nor the effective date election.
