> Are there other versions that Autodesk sells? What are they?
Yes, AutoCAD Designer, Mechanical Desktop, and AutoCAD LT. Keep in mind that
there are now 6 versions of AutoCAD Release 13: 13, 13c1, 13c2, 13c3, 13c4, and
13c4a. And if you count the DOS versions, there's more than that.
I hope this helps you out. It's a little confusing. If you're planning to make
important business decisions based on this information, please double check it
with another source such as Autodesk.
