Yes, that is pretty much the way I introduced myself to TheSwamp.  R13 also is required to run my preferred drafting annotation package for plats (at least until Civil 3D tames its parcel labeling).

To bad the LT was not on the list.

I would be interested in seeing the percentage of LT users.

Craig, just select what release and state whether or not you use LT. As for me, I have used LT2002 and loathed every minute of it. Currently using ADT2006. We won't be upgrading to 2007. We'll see if they make 2008 or whatever they call it worth upgrading to.

I am using LT2005, though I do have LT2007 installed. - I have had a HORRIBLE time getting my customizations into 2007!

I used the Help file's little 'movie' & read the instructions, but they still won't come in anywhere near the way I have them in 2005. Half of the icons images are missing & all of the Flyouts are either missing or wrong.

I am thinking about TOTALLY uninstalling 2007, then re-installing & trying again to import them, just to rule out the possiblity that I missed a step or did it wrong.

So, I am sticking with 2005 until I HAVE to get the 2007 up and running right.

I'm the only Windows98 user!?

Ok, ok, its my "test" computer at home. I've got so much junk on it that I never use but am worried that someday I might need it, and I can't upgrade to XP cuz most of it won't work anymore, and I don't want to go out and buy new versions of the software for it, blah, blah, blah...

But hey, I've NEVER had a virus on it! Its an island.

We're currently doing a lot of work at the Colorado Springs Airport, so much so that the general contractor had us move one of our Autocad techs on-site.  He's out there in a trailor with a couple of techs who work for the general contractor.

The GC's techs produce a variety of exhibits, and therefore needed to use Autocad.  They balked at Autodesk's prices for something like Land Desktop, and even Vanilla Autocad was to expensive, so they got a couple of seats of LT.  They've taken to calling it "Autocad Limited".

There was one task they were doing repeatedly, on almost a daily basis.  The way they were doing it in LT, it was taking them forever, like 4-6 hours per day.  When our tech moved out with them, we showed them how he could do the same task in Land Desktop in about 3 minutes.  Now our tech does the initial work for them, then hands them a DWG file, saving them 4-6 hours of work EVERY DAY.

Needless to say, we consider LT to be nothing but a joke...   :lmao:

Well, the good thing about me being stuck with LT is that I have never used the 'full' version. This way I don't know what I am missing.

It's tough to upgrade when it isn't your dime.
