OMG I'm out of the dark ages.

Well, today my company upgraded me from AutoCAD LT 97 to LT 2008.

All I can say is, wow I can actually use paperspace, viewports, xrefs, and all the other functions that I used to before moving to this office.

I've been like a kid at xmas today.

I'm impressed with 2008. Been using it for a few months, theres some good new additions. I really like the new shade modes!

Haven't got that far yet. It's got it's own calculator, that impressed me lol.

There's so many benefits over 97 it's unreal though.

Solidworks is where its at....Inventor/AutoCAD are not a scratch on it for usability and general slickness. I love the Solidworks!
