Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] Standards, who needs them?.....

Ok, I was wrong again. Standards ARE important. And, generally we all kind of stick
to them.

I was just in a crabby mood after finding out that AutoDesk did little to the
newest version of AutoSketch (8) to fix the few little bugs they had in the old one
(7). They created new packaging, and a new splash screen that's it, as best as
anyone has reported so far. The ongoing "Wish Lists" for the program have once
again been ignored.

They continue to charge $100 for each version without offering any upgrades or bug
patches, OR, even a list of what has been fixed.

Well, I guess they are following their "Standards" !
