Can we interest you in a batch of graphene on this fine Independence Day weekend?
Honestly, after becoming a science experiment in shear; a testimony to the fact of Systemic Failure; and a exercise in Orwellian technical support services, we simply changed everything.
Innovation is Driven by Demand
Project things take time as you well know. Changes happen. Project scope changes. How about this one? Did you know the nuns rented the Roman Coliseum as living quarters for a couple of centuries. Could we? Would we? - convert the Astrodome to condos? Didn't we already do that?
Seriously, the AutoCAD Civil 3D 2015 release won't be the latest new build of our Jump Product Solutions. Our release cycles have little to do with the official Civil 3D ones anyway. Come on folks.
You do have to think differently.
Our products run in multiple releases of Civil 3D already. We supply NCS compliant Civil 3D templates, Civil 3D Style libraries, and other vital, integrated resources that make AutoCAD Civil 3D run and plot out of the box.
How Do They Do THAT?
Nobody else does that. No one else even tries to do that. You might wonder, “What are they doing over there?”
It isn't rocket science and neither is a new website. It is a lot of work like any other important project. It's a lot of managed structure and process. I suppose God thought I needed the practice. I do. We all do.
Workflows Change Because We are Human
We trust that we made finding mission critical resources on cadpilot.com easier for you in your long-term process and structured engagement with AutoCAD Civil 3D. You do have a structure and a process to do that, don't you?
