AutoCAD 2007, the 3D revolution

Have you ever tried to create and modify 3D objects in AutoCAD?
Prior to release 2007, that was not an easy task and generaly, "serious"
3D was done in softwares like Max, VIZ, Rhino...

AutoCAD 2007 brings a revolution to the way we do 3D in AutoCAD, now you
can loft, sweep, modify 3D solids in real time, this is the biggest new
functionnality in this version and the rendering module has been updated
too.

Appart from that? Well, let's say, nothing much... OK, you can overlay
DWF files in your DWG, you can publish PDF directly from AutoCAD, but
the big thing is 3D.

See this video for creating a loft object.

Revit or invetor isn't that autodesks software for for
3d modeling now adays. Acad only for draughting.
Mechanical desktop and architectural desktop are to be phased out.

 

Anyone considered the implications of the headers in 2007 files being
encrypted, whilst at the same time moving to a subscription service

 

The basement hackers usually find a way to get by anything.

 

And I thought their pricing structure made the subscription service the
cheapest way to own AutoCAD. Seeing how the last few years, AutoDesk has
been creative in getting into the pockets of their users, I wouldn't put
this past them. Talk about the tail wagging the dog.

I am surprised no-one has run with this.

Has anyone considered what happens if you decide to stop subscribing?
Will you be able to edit your drawings?

 

Why would you want to stop AND continue to work with (or against acad
which is usual).

Try subscribing - like me and find....

Command: aectoacad
Unknown command "AECTOACAD". Press F1 for help.

Command: exporttoautocad
Unknown command "EXPORTTOAUTOCAD". Press F1 for help.

You don't have to stop subscribing to fail to work with it !!
