I believe that they have restrictions on what they are allowed to "give away
for free" by way of service packs. It is my understanding that they must
receive some kind of payment for any new features that they provide (ie:
anything that is not a bug fix). This has what they have said in the past,
anyways.

Hey Allen;
Too true, but my guess is that the Calculation portion of C3D Pipes will hit
the streets with the first Service Pack for 2006.
These folks are on the fast-track.
I would like to see them compete with CadApps-AU in developing a Imperial
alternative to Advanced Road Design.

The instructor was very honest with us. Of course he is a consultant. Not an
employee of autodesk or our reseller.
The opinion most of us in the class came away with is that this will be a
great program and offers a lot already. But there are may thing that can
still only be done in Land and Civil design.

Hey Allen;
You mean that they came out and told you what you could/could not do, or you
read between the lines?
