The August 1992 issue of Computer Graphics World has a rather interesting ad. This is the deal : buy or upgrade to AutoCAD V12 and get #D Studio for "half price". In this case, the upgrade is $500, and 3DS is $1500. Is this for real? The company is Vortec International, in San Francisco. Any info would be appreciated. (oh, the ad is on page 99).

Kenneth, There's actually a 60-day promotion that the Adesk MM division is running (8/1-10/1) for people upgrading to (or buying) AutoCAD R12. It's a very limited-time thing, and in many ways it's a kind thing to do for all the Acad folks who spent $1000 for Ashade and Renderman and could never get it to do what they wanted. – G

G- Heh, heh… that's a great way of putting it… I know a few folks who wouldn't know whether to laugh or cry at your explanation! <g>. C#

Yeah, well… you could say that I chose my words carefully. – G

Ken: The same deal is available from all AutoCAD/3DS dealers – me included. Evan <Authorized Autodesk dealer>

Actually, Evan, the 3DS 1/2 off offer is good *ONLY* through Autodesk Multimedia dealers. AutoCAD dealers don't get to participate, unless they have both dealerships, as the two of us do. Kevin Krell – Computer Support Associates

Kenneth, The 1/2 price offer for 3D Studio (if you've purchased or upgraded to AutoCAD Release 12) is a limited-time offer, and available through any Autodesk Multimedia Reseller (not just the dealer you've mentioned). We all got coupons to complete the transaction – come git 'em! Kevin Krell – Computer Support Associates
