what is the timeframe for the beta process?

ie, when does the beta release become an update ready for download for general users? 

thanks up front,

Hi Adam,

The official service pack usually comes out weeks after the beta release.

Thanks,
Wei

Thanks, Wei

And, as noted in the other thread, this is for full autocad, not LT.
Will there be a trickle down product update for 2013 LT for Mac?

Thanks again,
Adam

Yes. The current SP beta post is only for full AutoCAD, but the official SP will be for both AutoCAD and LT.

Thanks,
Wei

Why is the AutoCAD LT 2013 appstore not the same as the AutoCAD LT 2013 bought from Autodesk... It's quite hard to work if I can't modify my block attributes... How long will the appstore users wait for at least a beta version?

Thanks...
