I've been hearing rumours for the last month or so. Looks good doesn't it?

True colour Pantone matching and the Express Tools are back as standard, huray!

And you can now plot shaded and rendered viewports direct!!!

That's one tutorial I don't now need to do :)

AutoCAD 2004 looks like a really significant upgrade, not like those incremental upgrades we've had since 2000.

Just think of all those new tutorials I'll need to write :(

I had got using a .jpg file with superhatch down to a science to do gradient fills and such. I can't wait (God, I am such a NERD!). "incremental upgrades ", yeah I am still mad that we had to pay for r14 which should have been a bug fix for r13. I skipped r2000 (r14 to 2000i) and I am skipping r2002 as well. But I am signing up for the subscription service so no more skipping :(
