    Well, you got me on that one lol.

    For a guy like me who isn't a programmer then it wouldn't be as bad. I could manage small tasks, and have before at a previous job. But still, I have my library of custom programs (a lot from you in fact) and I have to admit I can't live without them.

    I could go back to the days of no custom programs, but I don't want to.

    Oh yeah, and I'm glad you could get some use out of the tripe I post.

    The Subscription fee for LT is overpriced.

    We pay $475 for Subscription on a program (full AutoCAD) that costs $3500 to $4000.

    Totally. My all-time favs are the XREFSTOLAYERS (which I use religiously) and the SETUP routines. Can't live without them.

    I found LT 2012 on Amazon for $800. Is this legit?

    I also thought subscriptions only allow home use for one year, is that correct? I really don't work at home, so I dont see the point of this.

    First, over 82.75% of things posted on the interwebs are in fact not legit, so be careful.

    Second, if this is true:

    ... Then why ask this ?

    As long as it from Amazon it should be OK. They can sell LT.
    Please do not PM me with CAD questions. Post your question on the forum. Our users are the best out there and you'll get the best possible answer to your question.

    the only reason why I asked about the subscription was to make sure I understood what it was for.

    Thanks for everyone's feedback! I think i'll upgrade to the LT2012 to try it out.
