Topic: Civil 3D 2010? Demo??? lol

[MSTG007]

Anyone know when Autodesk will release a Demo for Civil 3D 2010?

[sinc]

Should be available within weeks, based on past performance.

They just started shipping it to subscription customers last week.

Is the full program still not Available on the Market? I know that CAD/MAP/Architecture and 3ds MAx have come out on the 2010.

Are any other available at the moment?

BTW is there going to be a new Land Version, or has it run it's natural course?  :kewl:

Civil 3D tends to be the last one ready.  Since it is built on Map, they cannot create the final build of C3D until they have the final build of Map.  And they can't create the final build of Map until they create the final build of Vanilla.  (And actually, Autodesk Civil seems to follow even after Civil 3D - people have been receiving Civil 3D, but as far as I know, no one has received Autodesk Civil yet...)

Autodesk announced probably a year and a half ago that LDT 2009 was the end of the road for that product, and I have seen no signs that they have changed their minds.  Personally, I don't mind at all, because I never want to use Land Desktop ever again.  Civil 3D has problems, but it is far better than that old decaying product.  And unlike Land Desktop, once you learn enough about C3D to use it comfortably and work around the biggest problems, it can actually be fun to use.  I never said that about Land Desktop.

Yeah I wasn't really into Land as well but it created the diversion for new people asking the question which is better Land or Civil. Now even that's gone and going civil is your ony choice. For me it's good, but for all the fanboys using Land for years maybe this will be a nuisance until they get the hang on Civil.

Also some other products seem to be pending. Like Raster Design. When does that usually come around?

[therock003]

Are Civil and Raster Design 2010 still not avaialble? 

[Jeff_M]

Both Civil3d2010 & RasterDesign2010 trial versions are available for download (C3D is only for people in the USA & Canada) or should be available from a local reseller for the overseas folks, if not now then in the near future.

How can someone know which trials are out there? Are all major autodesk 2010 products available yet? At least in the U.S i mean.

Wow what the hey! Thanx man, didnt realize, it was that easy. Dloading Raster 2010 right now!

[therock003]

Ok so i installed raster 2010 and whenever i launch it via autocad 2010 i have nothing in the ribon. I get a message saying "The Ribbon does not have any tabs or panels associated with it", while launching it on map 2010 works fine. What's with this strange behavior?

[Matt__W]

I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say that there's probably an "issue" with the profile not currently having any tabs or panels loaded in the ribbon.  Just a wild-a$$ guess since I don't have 2010.

Maybe check to see which workset is current?

[therock003]

Good Call man! I dont know why the hell it was that way on first boot, but switching to one of the template workspaces, makes all the ribbon tabs appear, including the image tab dedicated to raster. Thanx for the suggestion!
