13 COMMENT >> AUTOCAD 2000 i RETIREMENT

While Autodesk's development strategy is coming along nicely, the rate at

which the company 'retires' products is increasing, shortening the length of

time between upgrades.

14 SOFTWARE >> STRUCTURAL INTEGRATION

AceCad has been at the forefront of steel fabrication software for many years

with StruCad, and since its purchase of Leeds-based GoData, has been looking

to bring the industry's design and management processes closer together.

18 SOFTWARE >> ADOBE ACROBAT 7.0

After gaining a secure footing in the CAD market, almost by chance some

might say, Adobe has re-channelled some of its development resources, PDF

has now gone 3D, and design/review has moved up a level!

PRODUCTION

Production Manager: Dave Oswald

20 TECHNOLOGY >> MASTER AND SERVANT

The uptake of OS's Mastermap has been limited in the AEC sector. James

Cutler of eMapSite puts forward the case as to why CAD and GIS users

should choose MasterMap as their mapping base over OS's legacy products.
