8) Why not ask your client to use the etramsit feature which will aslo have the ability to saveas R2000 fro your Acad2002.

We use 2K & 2K4.We also have to save back to release 2000 format drawings,so the file compresion feature is useless until enough people are using 2004.

Personally, I think the idea of getting one copy at least of 2004 is the best advice. This way, if you get a vendor that keeps forgetting, you don't have to call him and wait. You just take it to the server computer and save it back.

I agree.  We have, in this office, around 150 seats, about 20 are running 2K4, the rest are running 2K2.  As contracts are completed, we migrate seats.  Sometimes that takes a while, we just got rid of the last R14 seats about 4 months ago

The rub comes from single seat shops who don't plan on plopping down bucks for upgrades every 18 months.  So when it happens they haven't the resources to upgrade.  Then they want to complain that ADESK is doing it just for profit, but when you look around boards like these, they are the very same guys with wishlists as long as your arm.

They complain that it works just fine like it is and the new features aren't worth the upgrade.  I heard the same complaint when we went from Ver 2.1 to 2.5, but how many now would want to go back to a version without UNDO?  I heard the same complaint when we went from R10 to R11, but who wants to go back to a version without PAPERSPACE?

I give the same answer every time. You are not forced to upgrade, so don't worry about it.  Your competitors will.

BTW, is the new avatar more friendly ;)

Cadaver, yours and others contribution to these forums is as always gratefully received but please don't judge me. We have a small design team in a medium size construction company and don't have control over the purse strings. I would indeed like to have all the upgrades as there is always something new to make my life easier. Like most people we are only allowed every second version (except when we went from 13 to 14) but then 13 was around for a long time. I was only annoyed this week as it was the first time any of the people I do business with had sent me an unreadable 2004 copy. I look to this site for shared knowledge, even after 10 years there is still much to learn.
ps. I still haven't been able to sell them the subscription option

Sorry, I never intended to judge you, only your position. But it sounds like your beef, originally aimed at ADESK, should be aimed at your employers.  

Don't get me wrong here; ADESK has much to answer for, R13 being one of them.  Now if you wish to take them to task for ignorant business practices, like dropping buggy releases on their unsuspecting user base, I'll supply the tar if you supply the feathers.

But upgrades are just a fact of doing business.  As the industry requires more and more flexibility, as our product changes, as hardware technology advances, as other software becomes more sophisticated, AutoDESK will HAVE to keep up, or be replaced.  Setting aside $50 a month per seat to insure I have the ability to respond to my client's needs and desires at any given time is relatively small potatoes.

PS - I'm still looking for the "right" avatar, any suggestions?
