If you are still on AutoCAD 2000, it’s way past time to get off of it and upgrade. That goes for 2000i and 2002, too. We are adding new features and functionality to the current versions of HydraCAD (V43, 44 and 45) and some of these features do not translate back to V42 (2000). One…

Many people I know have a bunch of AutoCAD seats in their company and get pretty frustrated trying to keep them straight. AutoCAD has two ways to make this easier: First is a Network License. With this you can install, say, a five user networked AutoCAD on a server and users can ‘check-out’ a copy…

Being a first post, I don’t want to go overboard saying "Welcome to my new blog". So I won’t. You are welcome to comment on any topics posted here, but please keep it on topic, don’t be nasty and remember that this is not a Hydratec support site. Support questions should be directed to support@hydracad.com.…
