Maybe a pirated copy, I doubt they have the real deal.
There are cheaper versions too like autocad lite.
Hell I wish I remembered half the commands from a few years ago when I used to use it every day.
It's pretty handy.

Being in school like you are, you could buy a student version of Autocad LT for about $300. The only thing is the LT doesnt have the 3d program. Im not sure if there is a full version of Autocad for students, but I would think there is. Ill look for the link to where I got mine.

You could also try www.cadstore.com , or www.cadcampus.com

your dollar is doing extremely lousy since Bush was elected.
our Gov is doing all it can to devalue our currency trying to stay under the US dollar
and still the lowest we can get it is over .70

You don't have to go to school to learn AutoCAD, just get a book. Also, do not use AutoCAD to do 3-d drawings, it sucks so bad. You need SolidWorks. If you are in college or if you know someone in college go to journeyed.com and buy a student version for a couple hundred dollars.
Pirated copies of both programs are everywhere though. Just ask around. I have both on burned CD's.

I agree, if you have never used a CAD program Solidworks is MUCH easier to learn than AutoCAD, IMO. And it kicks a** at 3D /forums/images/graemlins/thumb.gif

Where can I get the book for autocad too? Anyone have a link for Solidworks? So autocad is better for 2-D, and solidworks is better for 3-D drawing? Thanks for the help /forums/images/graemlins/thumb.gif

Dave,
Thanks for the solidworks sites, they are alot cheaper than autocad, although they just have the student ones.

Just noticed this post...
I have SolidWorks not AutoCad. From what I've seen, SolidWorks is much easier to use than AutoCad, but there was still an initial learning curve that was frustrating and difficult (for me). I still have much to learn, but once I got over the initial pain, things have progressed rapidly.
And it is not pirated, though I'm not sure if the details of ownership transfer EULA wording may have been technically violated. Those darn things are so complicated you'd need to hire a lawyer to be sure, and like most people, I don't actually read them. I work in the computer industry, and a friend works for a company that uses SolidWorks for modeling. They upgraded from 2001 to the new version (2003?) and had older versions unused. Their person in charge of such things offered him a legit copy of the now obsolete SolidWorks. He didn't need it and new that I would be interested, so he passed it on to me...

ooh okay. I will probably try solidworks too. When you buy them, they come with a manual on how to use them right?
We use IntelliCAD at school for doing AutoCAD stuff (I don't know if IntelliCAD does 3D, been too many years). AutoCAD being the crappy company it is doesn't give much in the way of school discounts. Most of the school uses IDEAS. The ME Department uses SolidWorks and if you ask nicely Pro/E. For a campus of ~5,500 students full of engineers we have like 2 licenses for AutoCAD.
