Bentley is surveying AutoCAD users facing Autodesk's forced retirement program; respondents will receive a free gift.

"Help us help you by taking a two-minute survey at www.bentley.com/AutoCADusers/retirementsurvey," said Bentley Systems, Incorporated, today to all AutoCAD users facing Autodesk's forced retirement of their AutoCAD 2000i and AutoCAD LT 2000i products. Bentley will use the survey responses to tailor its upgrade program, which will include special program pricing and services, to the needs of these AutoCAD users.

Survey respondents will receive a free gift of a subscription to BE Magazine plus a copy of PDF Composer. PDF Composer lets users easily package all of their AEC drawings, including MicroStation and AutoCAD files, into a single PDF document. These interactive PDFs make it possible to quickly navigate through an AEC project using hyperlinks, bookmarks, and pages to access information.
