Using a Non-Standard Pipe Type in HydraCALC

A customer called today asking how to enter a 1″ black plastic underground pipe for the calc. This particular situation sounded unique enough that I did not tell him to add that pipe type to our database, as I would have if he expected to see this pipe type used repeatedly. I told him to…

Renting AutoCAD?

Yes, Autodesk now has a rental option for a number or products along with AutoCAD (kinda). Why? Well, some companies need an AutoCAD (or Revit) for only a few months, as they pick up a project but do not know if they need it after the project shuts down. Or, they get it for a few months for a summer intern. Or, they cannot come up with the money to purchase AutoCAD outright. Either way, it can now be rented monthly, quarterly or annually.

You cannot rent just AutoCAD or Revit, though. Instead you need to rent a suite, the lowest cost suite to be had is the AutoCAD Building Design Suite at $240 a month with an annual plan or $360 per month for pay as you go. A link to a great FAQ is right here: Autodesk Rental FAQ

And yes, we can handle the rentals for you…

$240 per month* for a 1-year plan (billed annually)

$360 per month when you pay as you go (billed monthly)
