I just received an e-mail "confirming" my subscription informtion from Autodork. Has anyone heard any news of a new release (or anything for that matter)?
-
LOL, you sure it isn't a co worker playing a joke on you or something?
I have definetely heard of Autobugged 2005
-
lol, no the message was legit.
-
I believe Autodesks theory is a release every year, so 2006 should be out in march or april of 2005.
-
That's the impression I got when an AutoDork Rep came to our AUG meeting.
Said something along the lines of: people are paying more for the subscriptions than if they just waited for the next release.
But of course that was all "off the record".
-
Perhaps your message is refering to the Civil 3D package.
-
No, I was referring to a new release of AutoCAD, which I founf out is scheduled for March.
-
I may be a little slow so...
Is this post a joke?
I have had LT2005 for a while......
Or perhaps it was released earlier than the full version.

-
No, it's not a joke. AutoDork plans to release a new AutoCAD every year now. AutoCAD 2006 (actual name unknow at this point) should be here around March of 2005.
AutoCAD will almost always be the first one released (it's the money maker), all the family programs (LT, ADT, MAP, Civil, etc) will come sortly after.
-
It is also an attempt to keep Microstation V8 a year behind in compatability with AutoCad. Microstation has yearly releases now in april.

Ain't it wonderful to see all them big companies learning to play together? Yah...riiiight!
-
Yeah, they get richer and richer as we get poorer and poorer.
-
I now have, in writing, the planned release of AutoCAD 2006.
-
Hasn't this been announced for a while? You can pre-order your AutoCAD 2006 books (the 2006 bible, vba, yada-yada) on Amazon and a few other sites. :?:
-
Yeah, they get richer and richer as we get poorer and poorer.
hmmm... since the advent of AutoCAD in the drafting arena, my income has increased.... ummm... carry the 3.... umm... around 325%. Or around 6% per year for the last 20 years. Beats the crud out of inflation over the same time period.
20 years ago a new seat of AutoCAD cost us about 150 billing rate manhours to buy, today a new seat costs about 100 billing rate manhours. So the cost of the software is actually getting cheaper. Compare that to other maintenance costs, like office space rental, health insurance, or the electric bill.
If you're gettin' poorer, you're doing something very wrong.
-
I just today got a subscription renewal notice for the VIP package, offered by AutoDork!
I know every year about this time they send out a notice to renew our VIP subscription, then shortly after they release any new versions.
So I guess when, we pay our bill and after they offically release 2006 it will show up in the mail! Oh boy the joy is heart stopping
:lol:
-
It's not a joke, I too received notification for vanilla 2006 thru most verticals. I heard rumblings 6 months ago they were planning to release it first quarter 2005. That's all I have.
-
GREAT! :evil:
I finally talked my employer to upgrade everyone to 2005LT!
I didn't know 2006 would be out the first part of 2005!
We would have waited for it!
Oh well, live and learn.
:roll:

I just got my notice this morning that our 2006 ADT is in the mail. :(

Big thing I've been hearing is a new menu system.. Almost sounds like it's going back to the days of Display list drivers like Panacea. Ahh yes, Panacea DLD, what a great tool.

That's some good information Cadaver. I would be interested in seeing something like that here. I don't think anyone here has thought about it like that. Thanks for the idea.[/quote]

and just when you were begining to become accustomised to 2005.Maybe theyre rushing it out so they can release 2005.5

Hi
Keep an eye on the 15th of March 2005, that is the day Autodesk will *officially* start talking about AutoCAD 2006 (plus it's the date the CAD Press can offically start releasing articles on it).
Have a good one, Mike
-
I hope my employer doesn't run across this info. I'm sure I will hear about it if he does.
I used to think it was dumb that Auto makers came out with the next years model the previous Fall, but coming out with a 2006 just a few months into 2005 is ridiculous, no matter WHAT your selling!
At a very minimum, the AutoCAD dealer should let you know a new version is coming out in 2 months!

They released 2005 in March of 2004, just FYI.

The reason that Autodesk are releasing a new version every year is simple. They want you to buy the subscription. If you really think that they've doubled their development efforts over the past 3 years I have a bridge I'd like to sell you. While you can look at it from the point of view that, compared to the prices of other things, AutoCAD is getting cheaper... the fact, for me and my company at least, is that we can't afford to constantly upgrade just because Autodesk told us we have to. We need to be able to interface with other firms who did get sucked into the subscription scam so we are in a catch-22.
We upgraded to AutoCAD 2002 about 3 years ago. For my company, in my location, in our economy, it's a very, very, very difficult thing for us to drop several thousand dollars down on software that we don't actually want or need. The only reason we upgraded to 2002 was because Autodesk told us that, if we didn't, then the next release wouldn't be available to us as an upgrade. I presume that, once Autodesk begins to officially talk about 2006 they will drop a little note telling us that we'd better upgrade now or we'll really have to pay next year.
When 2004 was released, my boss asked me if we should upgrade then. We couldn't afford it, but he was worried about losing the opportunity to upgrade when the next release came out. I looked into AutoCAD 2004 and, for us, it offered 1 and only 1 feature that we might have been able to take advantage of. Tabs in MText. Whoop-de-friggin-doo. How could I justify having him spend all of that money for something so ridiculous? I couldn't. So I told him that, in my opinion, Autodesk were a bunch of crooks and he should hold off on upgrading until they actually have him over the barrel again.
Well it seems like Autodesk is working hard to put customers over the barrel. You'd think they would at least supply the lubricant!
<rant_mode = OFF>
-
I know, I know :oops:
I wasn't smart enough to look for 2006 this early in 2005.
(Maybe I should start looking for the 2010 version to come out for our next upgrade which is planned for 2007.) :P

-
So who thinks they can predict what will be in the new 2006 version?
I know you can add coments/suggestions on Autodesk forums and they may use that for developing new releases,but do you think Autodesk surf other forums to get ideas of what the public want?Have they been here?

Autodork was also getting lots of complaints that their subscription customers were getting the shaft cuz 1 year is runnig like 450 and if they release only ever other year, you're talking like 900 when to just buy the upgrade it's about 750.
Yeah, craigr...I don't see what's the big deal about calling it 2005 or 2006 when the actual years it's released for is 9+ months away.

So the customers feel better if Autodesk releases a patch, slaps a new version number on it, then sticks the shaft to small businesses who don't buy in to their subscription?
We should all suffer because some customers chose to let Autodesk manage their bank accounts via the subscription? Anyone who did the basic math could have told you that it was a poor decision. The only answer that I ever got from anyone at Autodesk regarding the 'benefits' of buying the subscription?
Well that way you can budget a certain amount each year for your upgrades instead of paying some huge amount every other year
Yeah.
Sure
I may not be a mathematical genius, but I can do simple addition.

Somebody pull me out of this thread before I burst a blood vessel in my forehead! :evil:

-

Yup, just like me, they are in business to make money. You have several options, one of which is stay right where you are. No one is forcing you to "upgrade", you are choosing to upgrade to either stay competitive or to save money in the long run. I know a guy still using R9, and is happy as a lark, making money hand over fist. Someone on this forum is still using R13.
-

Then don't upgrade.
-

Why are YOU suffering? If you don't like the subscription, don't buy it.
Anyone who did the basic math could have told you that it was a poor decision.
For some it is for others it isn't. Each organization needs to make that evaluation.
-
Oh, the simple solution, how quaint. It's really just that simple, isn't it? Let's just brush off all of our customers and partner engineering firms who got sucked in to the subscription scam. Yeah, that's a good idea.
Unfortunately, that isn't an option for us. Unfortunately, we don't have a choice. Other than 'go out of business', the only choice we have is to bend over and take it.
-

Why am I (as in the company I work for) suffering? Because, in order to function smoothly with our customers and partner engineering firms, we have to keep current with what they use. We can only ride the 'Can you save that for us in release..." wagon for a certain period of time before we become an annoyance. And, if we don't upgrade when Autodesk decides that we have to, we either bend over and take it or we pay more later. Maybe that all sounds like a good time to you. It doesn't to me.

Some people prefer to spend 900 dollars for the same product as those who are spending 750? Wow, that's news to me.

This "article" appeared about 2 weeks ago on chinese website, and it seems there is a maximum number of lines that can be translated because mid-way through, it chucks a wobbly and goes in gobbledigook mode, where still a few english words stand out such as Activex, Vlisp, chamfer, osnap...
EDITED

That info, as interesting as it is, should not be posted. The beta tester that revealed that info violated his non disclosure agreement. As such I think this information should be removed from the swamp promptly. I may be wrong, but I'd rather err on the side of conservatism.

Presentation on AutoCAD 2006 was made in Melbourne on 23/02 and Friday 25/02 in Sydney!
-
Well why not, in the interest of caution, wait until Autodesk officialy begins to discuss it?
I read that article a week or two ago and considered posting it here.
It was a good find Serge, but it's best if we keep our hands clean until Autodesk makes it official.

Hi Serge. Beta testers are privvy to functionality / information that may not end up in delivered software products. The beta testing I've participated in did not unconditionally lift non disclosure agreements when testing concluded and products shipped. Sorry, but I do not see posting of information garnered from non approved sources to be legit or moral.

Ditto on that.
-
You guys keep on making remarks about NDA for beta-testers. The links I have posted refer to events that HAVE happened in Australia. Participants to these events did not have to sign such agreement. How many people would know of the features now, a week down the track thanks to word of mouth? Privvy or not, what you argue was 2-3 months ago, and it is null and void as soon as they went on display in seminars/lectures and other demos. You are indeed correct about features that are in beta test release but not stable enough to make it to the final version!
-
The little blurb I put in about new menus was straight from some AutoDesk Reps we had here in Anchorage for a Surveying and Mapping Conference. They attended our AutoCad Users Group meeting and told us a few of the new features.. Changing the menu structure was a biggie that I remember. Kinda made a few folks grumble that do heavy customization of thier menus.

Someone on this forum is still using R13.
There is that forbidden release again! I thought we all agreed not to mention it ever again.
What is even worst someone is still using R13? This I just have to know.
Who is the guilty subject?

I had posted this in the news forum, on the 7 Feb05.

Guilty as charged. It is the only platform that can run my preferred annotation package for plat work. I can annotate a 50 lot subdivision with r13 and EaglePoint much faster with the quality I require than with Land Desktop.

I seriously doubt any autodesk official has been here. But for the sake of argument let's assume they have. Do you think they would take you seriously using terms like "autodork"? If you want to influence the makers of the very software we depend on to feed our family/self then you have to be just a bit more professional about it, IMO.

Wrong view, full price is not paying more, it's just full price INSTEAD of the upgrade DISCOUNT.

He HATES r13 and EaglePoint with a passion ...
EaglePoint for R13 was the only EaglePoint release that actually worked worth a darn. We upgraded to R14 and the EaglePoint people sent a programmer rep to set it up for us on our network because he supposedly "has been extensively trained in EaglePoint's home office for just such installations". What a load, after 3 weeks we still couldn't produce the first drawing with his installation. After another 3 months of kicking it around we finally were able to download points from the data collector. It seems EP forgot to upgrade all their drivers for new data collectors. I hobbed together a couple of routines that will insert point blocks from the data collector, and we got our upgrade fee back from EP.
This year we're going to be looking at AutoDESK's vertical products for civil to see what they do for us.

Maybe so, but I do find it interesting that people like to trash-mouth the very software that keeps them employed. And they really like to pick on a company for making money, (like that's a bad thing) which is the very reason they use the software to begin with.

This software doesn't keep me employed. My skill using this software keeps me employed. If you have the idea that the users of AutoCAD owe their success to Autodesk and not the other way around, I'm afraid it's you who has the wrong view.
And I don't have a problem with people, or companies, making money. In fact, believe it or not, I even enjoy making money. Unfortunately, every time Autocad puts my company into a situation where we are essentially forced to upgrade or die, it means less money in my pocket.
But I suppose I should be happy about that, no?

...
where we are essentially forced to upgrade or die,
You can't have it both ways.
Without the software, your skill is just so much thin air, as you say without the software you die.
If you don't like it, don't buy it. But wait, all your clients use it, so for you to MAKE MONEY, you need to use it, too. Oops, your clients upgraded, for you to continue to MAKE MONEY, you need to upgrade, too. It's called "cost of doing business".
The costs for keeping up with AutoCAD releases aren't anywhere near the costs of maintaining employee salaries in the last 20 years, but let's don't complain about that. Heck the cost of maintaining the software is nowhere near the cost of maintaining the hardware for that matter. Hey, you can be just as productive using a little slower machine, with one 19" monitor. Let's lose the sound card and speakers, all the frills, no internet access, just yer basic stripped down CAD terminal. Do that and wait for the whining to begin.

It must be nice to work for a company where you can justify a $15,000 P.O. every year just by saying "Welp, that's the cost of doing buisness", because it's not like that around here. Maybe if we were getting new features that would actually make us more productive it would be justifiable but to upgrade for the sole purpose of keeping up with the drawing format your client is using isn't.
You would think that in the twenty some years that AutoCAD has been around they could have mastered the .dwg file format. But of course not, how would they muscle money out of people if the only reason to upgrade was for new and improved features?

Not my reason, but Nivuahc's. He's the one that's complaining he has to upgrade or die. So far I can justify the expense because we have a history (and data to back it up) of being more productive with each of the last 14 releases, (except for R13C1). But then we use the new features, we take the time to find out what they do and how to use them. I guess I might be more understanding if we were still using R10 methods and techniques, but we're not.
You would think that in the twenty some years that AutoCAD has been around they could have mastered the .dwg file format.
My guess is if you ask them, they have.
But of course not, how would they muscle money out of people if the only reason to upgrade was for new and improved features?
The only way to stanate the format is to stagnate the program (see Microstation as a prime example). I'd just as soon AutoDESK NOT spend time trying to be compatible with older versions, and spend more time beta-testing the features they have.

Maintaining compability with your clientele should be your main concern. If you lose your clientele because you fail to maintain compatibility with them then your company suffers. You may feel forced to upgrade because your clientele upgrades but that does not mean you have to upgrade ALL of your autocad users. The cost of a one user subscription is $420.00 per year. Invest in one upgrade and use it as a conversion station. I believe $420.00 a year to maintain a conversion station is very inexpensive when compared to the loss of a client.

MarkO, That's the way we have been doing it. We were all using LT98 and just recently upgraded everyone to LT2005. It got to be such a pain to send me all of the dwgs to 'back rev' to 2000LT, then 'back rev' that version to LT98.
We often copy floor plans from others, into our title block. This became increasingly difficult to take the newer rev and bring it into LT98.
The other part of using LT98, was that it is slower. Since using LT2005 for about a week or two, I've noticed that Plotting as well as simple daily use is faster.
It's been somewhat of a pain modifying my customizations to work with the newer version, but overall, I'm glad we finally upgraded.

craigr,
I believe in upgrading and write it off as the cost of doing business. Luckily for me I am a one man, self employed steel detailer who happens to use autocad as an aside because it saves me money.
I use a structural steel detailing package that cost $30,000 when i bought it 4 years ago and i paid for it with profit from my first job.
This package costs me $3000.00 a year in user fees. That too is a cost of doing busines. Hell, even my accounting software has switched to forced yearly upgrades. I can pay the upgrade fee or buy a new copy off the shelf and i do not enjoy any savings.
Unfortunately, for professional/technical software this seems to be the way of the future. Forced upgrades or user fees provide income for the software authors from users that are otherwise satisified with what they have but feel, for whatever reasons, compelled to maintain a current version. My point is that in the case of autocad, there is an alternative that minimizes the cost to maintain compatibility with your clientele.
It may be, as craigr points out, a hassle but it is a valid method of keeping costs down. Especially in a multi-user environment.

EaglePoint for R13 was the only EaglePoint release that actually worked worth a darn.
That version had its problems out of the box as well. The Rep's story was Autodesk didn't provide them with the final version of the ACADr13.LSP file. Whoever's fault it was, I had to spend a lot of time making the changes to various .LSP files before the menus would work and switch to and from vanilla r13. These were pre-email days for me and the routines were far more advanced than any poking around I had done previously. EP tech support tried to bill us 3 hours service even though their sales rep had called us "just to see how satisfied we were".
This year we're going to be looking at AutoDESK's vertical products for civil to see what they do for us.
I've heard they may be packaging Civil 3D with Land Desktop by then. If so, expect to throw some nickels in the budget for training. The provided tutorials are not suficient and I am hearing that even Autodesk training sesions for the product are very limited in scope and benefit. The consensus among the grumblers is that Autodesk is trying to cash in on the tech support gravy train with this product.

I took AutoCad in College approx. 13 years ago. It looked very much different than todays. I'm not sure, but I think it was the DOS version. I think it would of had to been. It used the Tablet.
Would this be the R13 you folks are talking about?

13 years ago was probably R11 or R12.

Not that I have one, but.....
Say I had a copy of THAT version, (from 1990), that I PAID FOR & registered with Autodesk, - Would it be legal for me to sell it to a friend?
Or, would it be legal for me to give it to a friend?
I don't have a copy of it, I never did. I just used it in college.
I am just curious about the legalities with OLD AutoCad software.
It bothers me that we have old copies of LT98, LT2000i & LT2002 that we cannot re-sell / donate. - It seems a waste.
- I KNOW that we cannot get rid of the LT98, etc.....
Comparing it to vehicles, if I bought a car and got tired of it, I couldn't sell it. I would have to store it or trash it. - Even though it still ran fine.

OLD copies? If the software has been upgraded there are no "old" copies, just old disks of the version that is now upgraded. Now if you have a version that has never been upgraded, it may be legal to transfer that license to another user, you need to go through AutoDESK for that. In the last dozen years we've had to transfer licenses several times due to the sale of certain aspects/divisions of the company. AutoDESK was actually quite pleasant to work with in these instances.
It bothers me that we have old copies of LT98, LT2000i & LT2002 that we cannot re-sell / donate. - It seems a waste.
If you've upgraded those versions, you have literally REPLACED them with newer better versions.
Comparing it to vehicles, if I bought a car and got tired of it, I couldn't sell it. I would have to store it or trash it. - Even though it still ran fine.
But you don't buy AutoCAD in the same manner, you license it's use. It's more like leasing a vehicle that allows periodic upgrades to newer better vehicles at lower cost than purchasing a new one. You're required to "turn in" (quit using) the previous vehicle.
-
Licenses are non-transferrable.
If I buy a copy of AutoCAD 2006 and don't even install it on a machine or even open the box, I am legally prohibited from even giving it to you.
-
The whole licensing thing S***Ks.
I know it is because of Priacy, and people trying to get something for free. - (Crooks).
It's too bad that some people cannot be honest and law abiding, thus ruining it for those of us that are! - (the story of the human race!)
I have always felt that software should be like a 'shirt' for example. - Once I buy it, it belongs to me. - No further taxes / fees and I should be able to do with it what I want.
But, I understand that it will never be like that.
Enough ranting, I will get off my soapbox. - (Way off Topic)
I'm done.

Actually, you don't buy the software. You buy the right to use it.

Hi Kerry
Due to the Non Disclosure Agreements I have had to sign I am not allowed to say anything until Autodesk give the nod.... I hope you can understand my position, and realise I am not trying to be awkward or impolite and not answer your questions directly.
As far as I am aware the Bloggers are only allowed to write about certain features (with Autodesk's approval), once the 15th March 2005 arrives I believe that rule will change.
Cheers, Mike

I got my e-mail from ADesk this morning lifting the NDA on 2006, I suppose that it is now offical '06 is on the way to the subscibers. Anyone else in the beta testing? What do you think of the enhancements?
-
Now that it seems ADESK has lifted the NDA curtain, is anyone gonna compile all the lil' features posted here so far??

What is the NDA ???

Thanks. And how is that going to affect us?

While it was in effect, BETA testers (most of them anyway) were not allowed to disclose anything about the software. Not that it has been lifted, we can find out all the new lil' features AND the big bad bugs.

I see. Thanks Randy.

Well I just downloaded the beta release and this is as far as I got after the install.....
(http://www.theswamp.org/screens/ronjonp/acad2006error.jpg)
LOL.....I guess it's beta!!!!
*edit* I got it working......for some reason the C:\Program Files\Common Files\Autodesk Shared\acdb16.dll did not get updated in the install. I manually updated it and all seems to be working.......for now :)
Express Tools is now a check box to include in the install!!!! It's about time :)

a few of the enhancement that I like are:
-The ability to add or remove hatch boundaries without deleting the hatch and starting over (it about time).
-The dynamic command line is great (bye-bye command line) The input for angle is great another great enhancement.
-The mouse over selection is nice, you can see what you are about to pick.
-Customizing the UI has been totaly changed there is a new file .cui that controls the user interface now. I have custom Alt+RC menu and Shift+Alt+RC Well they have now appeared as dropdown menus and do not funtion the way they used to. I think that there is a way around this.
-So far all of my .lisp have functioned on the mark no trouble.
-The other great feature is the Dynamic blocks, I haven't created any but I did play with a few that were shipped with Acad and I see great potential there.
-A few new enhancement to Mtext more formatting, and Bullets and Numbering. Also in place editing.
Here are some pics:
[EDITED] Images deleted to save Bandwidth[/EDITED]
In this pick you can see my custom RC menu's showing as pulldowns :cry:

Autodesk DVD Warning (http://bethscadblog.blogspot.com/2005/03/autodesk-dvd-warning.html) by Beth Powell
Cheers, Mike
Mike, Sorry for not responding. I guess I missed your post. I found out the hard way about the DVD. I used a couple of tools I have to make a copy of the DVD so I could share across my network to install and it would not work without the DVD disc. So I had to bring my 10 year old 2x DVD READER from my old parts computer from home and install it and share the drive across my network. I promptly of course ordered some CD's so once they came I made an image of them and posted that on our server. It was way faster then my 2x DVD Reader. :?
2x DVD Reader --> roughly 50 minutes. :(
Image Share --> roughly 20 minutes. :D
Thanks,
-

I'm just miffed at the decidedly MSTA twist many of these "new" features have taken, menus and menu loading being a biggie.

Oh, sorry, So I should have told him to go back and check for additions to a 3 month old post.
Been through all of those, I was looking for something that was actually helpful. I've spent the last 21 years becoming rather proficient with the keyboard. I now have to give up that acquired skill in favor of a much slower method of editing the menu.
-
Aren't CUI files just XML files with a different extension? If so you can still edit those with a text editor, it's just a different file format.
If they're not XML I withdraw my statement.
-
they are XML, but when I did a somple edit to add something to the pulldown, Autocad said the file was corrupt.
-
I've had the same experience. I need to figure out how to "recompile" the xml after edit.
And I haven't even started looking for hom MNL's work in 2006.
-
I think you need an XML Editor:
Google for XML Editors (http://www.google.com/search?q=xml+editor&sourceid=mozilla-search&start=0&start=0&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&client=firefox-a&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official)
-
I used MS Visual C# XML editor. It has something hidden somewhere that I havenot found yet.
-
I need to figure out how to "recompile" the xml after edit.
Thats the funny thing. XML (to my knowledge) doesn't need to be compiled. I use XML for creating Layers, and I just edit the file and it works right away.
-
I think you need an XML Editor:
I used to use Cooktop which was free. (I think that is the name)

Thats the funny thing. XML (to my knowledge) doesn't need to be compiled. I use XML for creating Layers, and I just edit the file and it works right away.
That's what I thought as well, but something is haywire after editing the menu with an XML editor. A simple open and save will cause AutoCAD to reject the CUI.
-
I know it has something to do with version-ing. Supposed-idly(SP?) Autocad will keep up eith the different versions or something like that.

-->
-
yea, but that is autodork mouthing off. There has got to be a way to edit these things. You cant tell me the programmers at Autodesk use that piece of Cr@p
-
I wonder if it has something to do with the .mnr file.
-
i dont think so, b/c you can delete it and it gets recreated. But i am going to try that.
-
I just edited my .cui file with Vim and it didn't crap out on me. *shrug*
-
Just did it again without deleting the .mnr file.
