Autodesk did recently update the way the crash reports are handled. be sure to enter your e-mail address, and Autodesk will e-mail you when a solution comes available. Also don’t be afraid to take advantage of the support that comes with subscription.

In my experience the .NET migration has been a blessing not a curse. I use Civil 3D, and I know the stuff scripted in non .NET code is cludgy at best. Finally I’m not sure what operating system you are using, but when it comes to .NET code, I find it runs faster on Vista than it does XP.

We just ‘upgraded’ to Architecture 2009 and it’s a complete piece of junk. It’s unstable (crashed on me six times within the first two weeks of use) and they have gone the route of Microsoft in general in adding half-baked features instead of focusing on trimming the already bloated 2gig program and speeding up it’s processes.

In general I think their use of .NET has hurt them greatly. Most of the larger programs I’ve used that use this framework have been at best slow, but most have been unstable and buggy.

After being a loyal Autodesk user for the past 15 years, I have heavily begun to think about switching, or in the least ‘downgrading’ my home products. Each successive product I’ve had has seemed to get worse and worse since about 2002.
