Don't hold your breath. If I had, I'd have been dead a long time ago.
Frankly, I've given up hope in this area. Just remember who they are
targeting (from what I see of their ads). Such as the PPT on AutoCAD 2002:
"Complementary Products
AutoCAD LT(r) 2002
The leading 2D CAD product for professionals who actively participate in
the design process, BUT ONLY REQUIRE OCCASIONAL USE."
[Caps at end mine]
True the LT 2000i page says:
"...If you ...are a full-time 2D drafter on a team using CAD for major
projects..."
Supposedly we're gonna get a LT 2002, since it was mentioned with AutoCAD
2002. It will be interesting to see if they put LT on a subscription like
AutoCAD 2002. Not having LT expandable means their selling point for
subscriptions - getting new features as they come out; is DOA. Autodesk
could be making more money with LT, WITHOUT hurting "full" AutoCAD sales,
but obviously they aren't interested.
Enjoy,
Stef
