![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() With ONE subscription, you get all the AutoCAD ‘toolsets’ or blades, should you prefer my Swiss army knife analogy. I can always remember the now ex-CEO of Autodesk, Carl Bass, stating back then that he wanted Autodesk products to be a ‘toolset’, like tools in a toolbox, or like a Swiss army knife, where you chose the appropriate tool or blade to perform the required function. I was at the Autodesk Media Summit held in the Autodesk HQ in San Francisco. One AutoCAD is there so that all AutoCAD users can use their ONE AutoCAD that fulfills their needs architects can use AutoCAD Architecture, engineers can use AutoCAD Mechanical, electrical and instrumentation techs can use AutoCAD Electrical and so on. One AutoCAD is not made to be used that way. So, what does this mean? Does AutoCAD now install as ONE application with all these flavors available as ribbon tabs perhaps, in the same way Revit now has Architecture, Structure and MEP all under one roof (pardon the pun)? Simple answer, no. This means that when you look at your Autodesk licence management screen, you will see this: –Īnd when you expand that on screen, you will see this: – It gives you TEN ways of accessing AutoCAD.Īs a subscription customer (yep, subscription only on this one, folks), you will now be able to get One AutoCAD. Well, how’s about we re-word that a little and play around with artistic licence? As one of my fellow CAD gurus, Steve Johnson, quite rightly quoted, “There can be only TEN”. In my previous March blog about the release of AutoCAD 2019, I referenced the movie Highlander, and when the Quickening starts there can be only ONE. ![]()
