They have a few hoops to jump through, but nothing to bad.I think their primary requirment is that you have a pulse and a .edu email.Your also probably better off learning to code on a later version of CAD to catch the latest changes.
That said, just because you can't get the 2004 SDK at Autodesk doesn't mean somebody, say at the Swamp, doesn't have a copy floating around.
Have a good one.
Shawndoe Am I getting a flow diagram then? Just signed up to the AutoDesk Student thingy - pretty neat You guys are awesome - just downloading 13 months of AutoCAD 2010 Just started using AutoCAD 2010, so different from '04... can't believe how many new things there are... and how different the layout is... this will take some time to get used to... First thing I hated about 2009: the bloody Ribbon. Seriously, it took me half an hour to switch back to the Classic layout with actual toolbars (which are a few pixels smaller than 2008, which is pretty gear). Once I did, I made it a point to remember exactly what I did should I ever need to do it again.
I'm glad I'm done with 2009, it was writhe with problems, though it did have some rather ingenious improvements. I hope 2010 has fixed the problems and improved the improvements.
Not sure if 2010 has it (2009 did), but if it does, download Google Earth (free) and check out some of the Google Earth options.. now if there was ever a sweet addition to AutoCAD.. :3
And if you're going to get Google Earth, try hitting Ctrl+Alt+A :3 So what are the requirements for 13 months of 2010? Did you need to verify student status or can anyone get it?
I started to read the free software "to thrive, not survive" but cheesey corporate lingo puts me to sleep.
You need a student email address that they use to verify it.
First impressions of AutoCAD 2010 - I agree, the ribbon looks impressive with all its nice pictures, but I immediately switched the "workspace" settings to "uAutoCAD Classic"...
But the one thing I have noticed - which is not too good - is that my laptop is now running about 10x slower than it was before I installed 2010...and it runs slow regardless of whether I am running AutoCAD or not. I have done a virus scan, and had no results - so I cannot see what it can beMy laptop just goes into "Not Responding" every few minutes... quite annoying. Lee:
Regarding improving the performance of AutoCAD on your laptop.
Run SCANDISK to check for hard drive errors.Follow this up by defragging the hard drive.
The three most common things you can do to improve performance are 1) add more RAM, 2) increase the page file size and 3) increase free space on your primary drive.
Does you laptop have a dedicated graphics card or does it use an integrated onboard graphics chip?
There are some things you can do to speed up Vista as well.It may mean having to turn off some features.Would you be willing to do this? Also, AutoCAD 2009 was incredibly graphics-heavy and was quite a memory hog for me as well. I can't be certain, but I'll bet lines to splines that it has something to do with the tab tooltips, specifically being able to see a mini version of each tab just by hovering your mouse over it. I think all of that data is processed, regardless of whether or not you have those settings switched on, which takes lots of extra time and memory. Plus, they might have beefed up the graphics engine itself.
With 2009, I couldn't open any drawing larger than about 18 megabytes without it crashing (no warning, just blip, gone). That's one of the reasons I switched back to 2008. I sincerely hope you don't have this problem as well, Lee. It drove me absolutely bonkers. Especially when one-sixth of the landbase data for the buildings -alone- for the city of Chicago was pushing 40 megabytes.
