We have license for both perpertual and subscription. The one we had is autocad Lite version, where autocad full version is trial version. We are using trial for testing the extra function in full version.

They are saying software that is no longer installed, was cracked? Unless you uninstalled it just before the audit (when you where made aware it was going to happen), i cant see how they can say anything like this. My suspicion is that there is more to this story though.

Wtf? There is good feedback above but who do these guys think they are rolling up on your turf making demands? Lolol I assume this must be corporate led or law enforced? Either way I would bend over & tell them to kiss my anus! Smooches!!

My guess is what possibly happened is the trial was installed it was used for the trial period then some months later it was uninstalled. Possibility 1 the uninstaller triggered a phone home. Possibility 2 it was launched said it was expired then uninstalled that would of caused it to phone home.

As mentioned above if they want to claim it was a cracked version of the trial software ask them for their phone home logs. If there is a log of it being a trial version then it was probably not cracked because usually they block or redirect the phone home.

If they say no then get a lawyer or say legal is asking for it. Then it goes nuclear and you will need that lawyer or they will drop it and say oops our bad and you send them a invoice for 1,575 (just for the irony since that is the price of an auto Cad license).

They assumed the trial version is a cracked version, not a trial version but they cannot find pirated serial number (for licensed unit, we have a series of serial no ) or keygen. we uninstalled long before the notice of audit.

I had an issue with W10 that said it was a fake copy. after some reactivation scripts it accepted my key was genuine (and had been for many years). Might not be the same as your issue, but could be similiar.

This almost sounds like a marketing lead scam. Where when you install the trial license, it asks you to register. That registered information is then forwarded on to a local distributor to follow up with a marketing call to sell you on the software. But it sounds (to me) like the local distributor has taken it to another level as to tell you, you installed a cracked version of the software (with no evidence of such) and you must pay a penalty as well as purchase the software with a subscription.Since its been so long and the software was uninstalled at the end of the trial there is no way for you to prove otherwise.

I want to remove two characters and regardless of what nchar is, my hacked version of the lisp only removes the first character of the string. This is not a big deal as I can simply run the lisp twice to get the result I want although wondered how/what is required to correctly make the lisp work for more than one character at the start at a time?

Since the substr function uses a one-based index to address the characters in a string (that is, the first character is at index 1; as opposed to the zero-based index used by most other functions), in order to remove two characters, you would need to return all characters from the character at index 3 onward (hence removing characters 1 & 2):

If I have a string such as "THE RED CAT" and wanted to modify it to "THE CAT" would you just break it down into two substrs or "THE " and "CAT" and then concatenate them together? Or is there a better way of doing it? E.g. keep characters 1 to 4 and 9 to 11, but remove characters 5 to 8.

This is because your MText contains formatting codes within the text content (you can view these codes in the text content shown in the Properties Palette) - such formatting codes arise when formatting overrides are applied through the MText Editor.

The presence of MText formatting renders this otherwise simple task significantly more difficult as the program must first separate the formatting codes from the displayed text content, before modifying the displayed content, and reinserting the formatting codes. However, what if the formatting was only applied to the first or second characters which are now removed? The program would need to account for such cases and remove any formatting codes surrounding only these characters...

DWG is the proprietary native file format for AutoCAD, one of the most popular computer-assisted design (CAD) packages. The format is maintained by AutoDesk. DWG is a compact binary format that stores and describes the content of 2D and 3D design data and metadata. AutoCAD 1.0 was released in 1982, but the origins of the DWG format are from the late 1970s, when it was the native format for a CAD package called Interact. The format has been updated frequently as the AutoCAD product has been enhanced.

As of January 2020, PRONOM had records for 19 chronological versions, none of which is publicly documented by AutoDesk. One more recent version, associated with AutoCAD 2018 through 2020, is in use. Autodesk lists past versions of DWG at AutoCAD Release History. The compilers of this resource have chosen to describe the DWG family of formats in a single document. See Notes below, for information about the chronological versions of the AutoCAD application and associated versions of the DWG format.

The syntactic structure of a DWG drawing file includes sections and section substructures. The primary substance of a drawing is in a section with name AcDb:AcDbObjects. This contains component graphical elements (known as entities) and other objects that support the editing and rendering of drawings. Internal connections in the drawing file use identifiers for objects (including the graphical entities) known as "handles." Objects declare their own handles and may refer to other objects via handle references. Handle references may indicate ownership or simply be pointers to other structures. See Notes below for more on handles in DWG files. Cyclic redundancy checksums (CRC) are used extensively for error detection.

The conceptual and semantic aspects of the DWG drawing format are covered best in the documentation AutoDesk supplies for the DXF Drawing Interchange Format in its help system [About the DXF Format AutoCAD 2020].

The closest thing to a specification for the syntax of DWG files is the Open Design Specification for .dwg files, derived by the Open Design Alliance (ODA) by reverse engineering. As of January 2020, this document covers the DWG format from AutoCAD Release 13 through AutoCAD 2018 (AC1032). The AC1032 version of DWG has been used from AutoCAD 2018 through AutoCAD 2020.

The ODA is a non-profit technology consortium of 1200 member companies that support the development of tools and SDKs to allow members to read and write files in DWG and other formats. Membership is offered at a number of pricing levels, from a free educational option for qualified university programs through corporate memberships starting at $30,000 per year. All memberships allow use of the ODA's .dwg toolset.

The DWG format is very widely used. It is the native format for AutoCAD and other AutoDesk products. According to an AutoDesk blog post, AutoCAD scored top marks in a Winter 2015 rating for General-Purpose CAD. Is BricsCAD A Real Alternative to AutoCAD?, a blog post from April 28, 2015, indicates, "Products competitive to AutoCAD have come and gone over the years. None appear to have the critical functionality and the supporting infrastructure to cause established AutoCAD users to risk the switch." The post goes on to suggest that 100% DWG compatibility is the most important factor in considering alternative products. CAD applications that use DWG as the native format include: products based on the IntelliCAD Technology Consortium platform, such as CMS Intellicad; products based on the DWG toolset (formerly using the name Teigha) from the Open Design Alliance, such as Caddie, Bricsys products, and NanoCAD; and CADKON+. See Wikipedia's Comparison of Computer-aided Design Editors for information about support for DWG in many other CAD applications.

RealDWG is a software development kit (SDK) supported and used by AutoDesk and available for license from Tech Soft 3D. FME from Safe Software offers reader/writer modules for DWG employing the RealDWG code; see Autodesk AutoCAD DWG/DXF Reader/Writer. The RealDWG code is also used in Bentley's Microstation PowerDraft product; see RealDWG and Object Enablers and Save As DWG/DXF Options.

Open-source projects that aim to read and write DWG files include: GNU LibreDWG (a C library to handle DWG files), LibreCAD (an open-source 2D CAD application), and QCAD. However, it appears that developing and supporting CAD applications may demand more effort and expertise than free open-source projects can maintain over the long term. In February 2016, a message in a discussion thread in the libredwg mail list with subject "Looking for new maintainers" includes the paragraph from one of the project leaders, "Maybe it is a good time to discuss the future of this project. LibreCAD have implemented libdxfrw with DXF-rw (obviously) and DWG-r, apparently at a better stage than LibreDWG. Licenses were incompatible so they just hacked it themselves." A new maintainer for LibreDWG did emerge and development has continued. Meanwhile, in May 2016, the LibreCAD blog announced the departure from the team of "a very valuable asset." Free Libre 2-D CAD overview offers a brief comparison in January 2020 of LibreCAD and QCAD. Another indication of the difficulty of supporting open source efforts or products that are distributed free, is that in 2019, it was announced that DraftSight, for which a single-user license had been available at no cost from 2010-2019 for Windows, MacOS and Linux, would no longer be available free or supported on platforms other than Windows. See January 2020 blog post from a user of DraftSight on Linux.
