   Hi, I have Autocad LT 97 and used many old versions of Autocad in the past.  I now want to create some fully rendered 3D images.  I've got a trial version of Autocad 2006 which does the job fine, but I can't afford the full version, could anyone please tell me what the oldest (cheapest!) version of Autocad I could get that will render my wire frame?

The drawings are simple and I am quite happy using LT 97, are there any alternatives/add on's that would render my LT drawings/

Thanks for any help

	You can use a lots of ways. You can buy newer version AutoCAD (big changes with 3D work is in Autodesk AutoCAD 2007 and above) or you can buy another program, especially for rendering and use export from AutoCAD. It's up to you ;) . Edited by PepaR - 21.Sep.2008 at 20:13
