well as you probably know the legal way how to get autocad is to download form autodesk if u live in the us or canada, otherwise u can contact any reseller of autocad. There will be no problem to get trial version of full autocad. I work as IT (as well as IT) in a company in Ireland so I´ve been in contact with many companies in IRL and UK so I´m sure they will be able to provide the trial CD.
There is still the possibility to get full autocad from the net, of course that is not legal and for your own risk only ...

Hi,

I'm not sure if this is too basic a question for this forum - sorry if so but...I've been using a very old version of Autocad lite for the last 10 years and I want to upgrade.  As it's just for individual projects it's a huge outlay of money for me therefore I want to be sure I'm getting the right thing - so I'd like to try out both lite and full Autocad before buying.  But I can't find anywhere I can do this if I live in the UK - does anyone know if there are sites I can download a free trial from?

Many thanks.
