Autodesk Actions

After the miners strike in UK the coal board set up a network of training centres to retrain miners. I supplied Full AutoCAD software at Educational price ie approx 90% discount.

After 2 or 3 years the centres were closed and the software was sold, at commercial prices !

I notified AutoDESK, in writing, but they took no action

Also when a new version of AutoCAD came out in 2001 they had New York Skyline on the box with the Twin Towers featured. This was several months AFTER 9/11

I fortunately saw the illustration pre public launch and contacted their Sales Director in UK and they withdrew the packaging.

So they really are sensitive caring folks at AutoDESK.

After 15 years dealing with them I can confirm their staff think AutoDESK rules are the law of the land!!!

One day someone will teach them a lesson. Perhaps this e bayer?
