No Future Upgrades for AutoCAD 2004, 2005, and 2006

The current release of our software will be the final one that supports AutoCAD 2004, 2005, and 2006. We will continue to support these versions of AutoCAD on the current software indefinitely. To use the next release of our software, you must have AutoCAD 2007 or later.

To the customers still running AutoCAD 2004, 2005, and 2006, we apologize that you will no longer be getting new features. However, the current version of Design Master you are running will continue to run. We will continue to support it and fix new bugs that are discovered.

To everyone else, this does not affect you. The technical reasons we are no longer supporting AutoCAD 2004, 2005, and 2006 do not exist for AutoCAD 2007 or later. In fact, AutoCAD 2007 has some advantages that make it our preferred version of AutoCAD to use for development. For the foreseeable future, we plan to continue to offer new features on AutoCAD 2007 and later.
