AutoCAD 2000i

AutoCAD 2000i

The actual success of AutoCAD 2000 is somewhat dubious, with many of my sources at Autodesk saying it took a lot longer than expected to get going. The main reasons given was the huge success of the previous release, the possible Y2K problem and the way A2K was marketed, trumpeting over 400 features, which it’s thought frightened off many upgraders thinking there was a big learning curve. From examining the release, it seems Autodesk has learnt its lesson, there are a handful of new, useful, non-Internet-related features, together with a comprehensive suite of web extensions.
