AutoCAD Raster Design

[#1]

When will Raster Design 2012 be deployed? It's hard to upgrade AutoCAD without Raster.

[#2]

Those who know...

It was released last year on Jul 18 09 as per my Subscription page. I do believe that was a late release date for the product. 2009 was released on April 20 08 so hopefully wee'll see it soon.

It really didn't look like there was much of a change from Raster 2010 to 2011 other than Windows 7 support and the ability to run it with the 2011 product series. Does anyone know if Raster 2011 will run with Civil 3D 2012? I haven't tried as of yet.

We use Raster extensively and as such upgrading Civil 3D is pointless until Raster will run along side of it - that meant waiting on last years Civil 3D upgrade 3 months.

I believe moving to the 64 bit environment (Win 7 support) was an issue that held it back. 

[#5]

I've been using 64 bit for a while now, doubt that's it.

[#6]

There has been one 64 bit version of RD to date, RD 2011. 64 bit Autocad has been out for a few years. A 32 bit version of RD for 64 bit OS's have been previously released.

I just think it's crap that we pay for a subscription renewal and get all the products but Raster Design. A good majority of our work is with Raster Design, which means I can't deploy the new version of AutoCAD until the new version of Raster Design is released. Anyone know when Raster Design 2012 will be released?

[#8 · Accepted solution]

Autodesk just informed us that it's at least 30 days out

[#9]

It should hit the July Target date pretty close!!

With the new products being out for almost a month now, it's like getting a really cool Christmas present and having to wait for the rest of it to show up before you can play with it.
