R9 was the first AutoCAD I saw but I started with R10 when it was first released. I agree with ReMark that R14 was a great release but I did a lot of my best work on R12 DOS and for me, that was THE classic AutoCAD release.
Tip: Please do not PM or email me with CAD questions - use the forums, you'll get an answer sooner.

no idea about the R9 but when i got introduced to cad, got the chance to work on R12 & R13 a bit. than i had aformal training from autodesk's authorised training center on R14. So yes I can vouch for R14 to be a good version. than i worked in R2000 & R2002.
after that got the chance to work back on R14 with DRC, and it was better than R2002 in many ways for architectural purposes."An architect's most useful tools are an eraser at the drawing board & a wrecking bar at the site."

Ahhhh...the good old DOS days. Yep. Fond memories of tweaking the autoexec.bat and config.sys files not to mention coming up with macros and editting the menu file. Jeez, seems like almost yesterday. And let's not forget troubleshooting IRQ problems. Almost makes me wish for an old 386 machine. NOT!

This also brings back fond memories of the ol' digitizer and 12-button mouse. Ahhhhh....

Ol' digitizer? Hey, I still use one (Calcomp DB III) and a sixteen button mouse! Who you calling old?

Anyone recall the memory manager program that used the be the rage back then. I think it was QEMM. It could tweak all kinds of settings to get your 386 or 486 computer running like a well tuned machine. Of course, that was at a blazing speed of 25-50MHz. Seems like a real dinosaur now doesn't it?
