Hi Guys,

I am researching about some CAD softwares and I noticed that barely any pricing is available publically. I am extremely interested in learning about the network and floating license prices of Autocad, Solidworks and maybe even CATIA.

Any info will be appreciated.

Thanks
Akshay

AutoCAD info here....http://www.autodesk.com/store/desktop-subscription

Really your best bet would be to contact a sales rep (a.k.a. - reseller) for each program you are interested in.

To Mr. John Connor,
I'm not trying to waste your time, but I do have another question about what the Lisp Routines can & cannot do.
I don't really create CAD Standard Drawings, but rather Simple Line Drawings to Illustrate my work, which is On-Site Septic System Designs.  I'm more of a Basic Illustrator than a CAD Drafter.  So I am quite ignorant about my programs abilities.  No Excuse I know.   But here's my question:  If I were to Buy the LT program and create a drawing, that I then imported it to my AutoCAD 2004 program, running in an XP environment, however I could do that ???,  Would I be then able to use the LISP feature to that LT created Drawing?

First, the OS being used has no bearing on the subject.

Second, you don't import the drawing from LT 2016 to full AutoCAD 2004.  What you do is make sure to save the drawing in 2004 file format which is one of the standard options along with other file formats.  The choices will be 2004 DWG and DXF.  Select 2004 DWG.

If the two programs are on different computers copy the drawing to a flash drive then walk that flash drive on over to the other computer and copy it off the flash drive to the folder where you keep your drawing files.  Start AutoCAD 2004 and open the drawing as you would any other and start editing it.  Your custom lisp routines will work just fine on the drawing you originally started in LT 2016.

Third, when the time comes that you want to bring the drawing back into LT reverse the process (re: flash drive).  LT 2016 will have no problem opening the drawing that you just edited, and saved, in 2004 file format.

The one thing you should NOT do, while using LT, is save the drawing in a file format other than 2004.

Is my explanation clear enough for you?

By the way, you have hijacked a thread started by another forum member to post an unrelated question.  That is considered bad form.  You should have either continued the conversation in your other thread or started a new thread.

Addendum:

I assumed you would know how to set AutoCAD to save in a particular file format.  In case you need a refresher course I offer the following.

Invoke the OPTIONS command and click on the Open and Save file tab.

Look at the top left hand side.  See where it says File Save > Save As?  Click where it says AutoCAD 2016/LT2016 (*.dwg) and scroll down to where it says AutoCAD 2004/LT2004(*.dwg) and click on that option.  Finally, click on the OK button in the lower right hand corner and you are good to go.  Got it?
