Jonny_B Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 We use AutoCAD Architecture 2009 and are considering either renewing our subscription before the release of 2010 or just purchasing the upgrade down the road when we have more funds for it. One of the questions that has come up is whether the bonus materials available through the Autodesk website with a subscription provide added value. Specifically curious about the following: 1) Are the "extensions" that are mentioned a lot in literature regarding Autodesk Subscription anything worthwhile? Any tools that you use that you find really useful? 2) Are there any additional AEC objects or tools provided to subscription holders? 3) Is there additional useful content provided? (free materials, multi-view blocks, wallstyles etc.) You'd think these would be easy answers to find but all I get is "lots and lots of cool stuff if you subscribe!" without any specific answers. Any help is appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any help is appreciated. The learning materials leave alot to be desired. There are no wall styles, or AEC objects available, but.... here is what is definatly worth while. There are free RPC content items available (160 or so I think,) for rendering. Impressions 2, software for presentation things, take a look. I hope my office keeps the sub going for 2010, I really wanna play around with it lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
