[Anonymous]

What is included in the AutoSketch 8 Package.
I got a CD and to Pages with some explanation's.
There are no Manuals Hardcopy or PDF-Files.
Is that ok, or did i receive a FAKE Package.

Included in the Autosketch 8 package should be a cd for the program a
Getting Started guide that is about 67 pages and a Read me First
document that is a 2 page document. All the manual material should be
located in the online Help pull down on the top of the screen when
launching the product. Inside there are
a3 tabs . The Contents tab will quickly reference things to know in the
program and the index tab is used by typing in key words and browsing to
an explanation on how to perform functions and commands in Autosketch.
Any of the items found there can be printed out to have a quick
reference hard copy.

In QuickCAD 8, the User Guide & Getting Started Guide are provided in .PDF
format on the CD.....is this not the case with AS8....???

Hi Ric, Just checked and AutoSketch 8 comes with the PDF's on the CD.

I am new to any CAD software and recently purchased AutoSketch to
maintain compatibility with the AutoCad used at work by our drafters.
I was disappointed that no printed user's guide was included in the
package. It is in PDF format (along with the getting started manual) on the
CD, but that meant having to print out almost 400 pages (I hate using
electronic copies for references since you must be at the computer to read
them - you can't, for instance, take them to the Doctor's office to read
while waiting to see the Doctor 30 minutes or so after your scheduled
appointment - but I digress)!
I know that version 7 has a printed manual since I saw it yesterday when
a co-worker showed it to me along with a printed version 7 QuickCad manual.
Both were around 400 pages. My question is why they raised the price for
version 8 (as I read in an earlier posting) but excluded the manual! this is
a lot like double taxation - raising millage and property values at the same
time! I find that to be reprehensible.

You probably have the answer to your question; the cd I got when I ordered from an Autodesk-approved supplier of AS8 included the Getting Started pamphlet (both on the cd and in hard copy) and the User's Manual - both in PDF format. The User's Manual is 400 pages long, so quite a printing job. Despite the statement that the online help function contains all the User's Manual info and more, I found the time to print it well worth it. The main advantage is that you get the benefit of the author's sequencing of the info into an orderely presentation, rather than a isolated "dive
exraction of Help data matching your search keyword or words.
