I'm a paid Fusion360 customer and developer, with more than 6000 happy users of my store add-in.  I get a lot of AutoCAD people asking for a version for them.   Does anyone at Autodesk read this?  (If not, does anyone here know how I could reach them?)   I'd like to port my code to AutoCAD (Mac and PC, and any other variants that make sense) as well as Inventor.  It's a big job (way more than 30 days to complete - my codebase is huge).   Is it possible to get a license to install the above products, solely for the purpose of development and customer support, without charge? ...

Hello, I am trying to decide between AutoCAD LT and AutoCAD. Below are my questions. Greatly appreciate any help you can provide. (1) Does AutoCAD LT run slower than AutoCAD? (2) When you save an AutoCAD LT file is it the same format/file type as AutoCAD? Can someone with AutoCAD open an LT version and vice versa? (3) If I choose LT but don't like it, can I upgrade my subscription to regular AutoCAD? If so, is it just the cost difference? (4) Will AutoCAD LT have all the features/abilities I need.

My main uses are creating space plans and using layers, dimensions, leaders, blocks, etc. I print to PDF in model view and make construction documents in layout. I don't do any 3D work. That about sums it up. ... View more
