Differences between 2000 and 2005
« on: September 19, 2005, 05:47:41 AM »
Not too long ago we joined forces with an American company, now to integrate all services etc we are being bought up to date(ish) with our CAD :-o

I am to train all the CAD users in my office in 2005. So, what I'd like to know is, what are the differences between CAD from
2000i -> 2005
2002 -> 2005
2004 -> 2005

Is there any of the new features that should be avoided?

I havent seen this new software myself yet, and I'm hoping that I'll get some sort of training (and a head start in using) before everyone else is let loose on the system.

Any advice is appreciated
Many thanks

Just curious but why 2005? Why not 2006 it's the latest version.

Apparently they've had 2005 on test in the main UK office and have now decided to implement the tried and tested one. They're probably testing 2006 now. Methinks I'll e-mail and try to find out more on why not 2006.

Aside from stability etc. there's also the issue of third party software that runs under an AutoCAD version, like Autoplant, Multisteel etc.

FYI, The trial version of AutoCAD 2006 has a tutorial which explains the differences between versions.  The trial version runs for 30 days.  You can download or order a CD from AutoDesk.

The tutorial is the best I've seen from AutoDesk.  It's actually worth using  :)

2005 has the new features workshop too.  Overall, for day to day usage, there really aren't many differences although there can be.  PUBLISH.  Awesome.  Autodesk done good.  Sheet sets are really good for many people.  Of course, I haven't touched 2000 in a long time.  I'm sure there's more.

Don't forget FIELDS, and TOOL PALLETS.
T.P.'S not worth using in '04 (what we got) but improved functionality in '05.
Fields are an '05 addition, aren't they?
We'll be using them both, with dynamic blocks ('06) when we upgrade.  Looking forward to it.
