If you would like to be a beta tester for the next release of AutoCAD this is your opportunity. If you recently tried the Autodesk Labs test of the DGN format you can see the changes and progress in this codename Spago beta. We are also looking for customers willing to test a Windows Vista and also a 64 bit version of a future AutoCAD as well as Japanese and German versions of the AutoCAD Beta. Make sure to not use a free email account (such as hotmail, yahoo, gmail, etc) as we do not add people using free email accounts to most beta projects.
To enroll in the AutoCAD Beta please go to: http://myfeedback.autodesk.com and select Sign up from the Active Zone Menu. You will then be asked to fill out a profile. Please use "SPAGO" in the Beta Code field (at the top of the sign up page) and select “AutoCAD” as your product of interest. You will be emailed a password for the general site once the beta team has reviewed your application and approved you.
If you are already a member of the MyFeedback Beta portal (http://myfeedback.autodesk.com) you do NOT need to sign up, instead login to the beta portal and click on the User button found at the top of the page. Please add "SPAGO" in the Beta Code field and click Save at the bottom of your user profile. You can add multiple beta codes to your profile by separating them with a semi colon. If you have forgotten your password, you can click on the Forgot Your Password link under Login menu and an email will be sent to you with your password or send an email request to [email protected].
When you logon you will be able to see all the zones you are added to – initially this may be none. When you are added to a new zone you will be emailed a notice and the new project will appear on your MyFeedback portal page when logged in. The process of adding participants to zones is not automatic and requests are reviewed periodically during business hours and some betas may not be active or require a slight wait until the start date.
Cheers,
