Autodesk Teams with Rocket Communications to Release the Fastest, Easiest AutoCAD Ever – AutoCAD 2004

October 1 2003--AutoCAD 2004 has been hailed by more than 500 beta testers as one of the best releases of AutoCAD software yet. It provides new features such as productivity tools and presentation graphics; CAD standards tools and electronic documentation using DWF™ (Design Web Format™) files for easier data sharing; and licensing tools for more efficient software management.

Rudi O'Meara, Autodesk Senior Art Director, said, "Rocket really does understand the fact that user experience is the key to brand loyalty. In assisting us in the UI redesign of our flagship product, AutoCAD® 2004, Rocket's staff was uniquely able to cut to the heart of complex creative, technical, and operational issues — ensuring that, at all times, every design decision manifested solid, customer-focused rationale. They took the time to understand the business we're in and the particulars of our (very diverse) customers daily experience in-product. Without question, Rocket's contribution to reinventing AutoCAD (and, subsequently, a number of our other, AutoCAD-based products) was essential. It's not a stretch to point to the work they did as a sizable influencer on purchase/upgrade decisions. Because of Rocket's work, as one of our users pointed out, 'AutoCAD is fun again.' That to me says it all."

Robert Davis, representing Benchmark Group, a world-class architectural and engineering firm and one of AutoCAD 2004's beta testers, mentions, "AutoCAD 2004 is the greatest release of AutoCAD with the most compelling set of new features, functions and enhancements of any AutoCAD release that I have worked with. I think this release will be a must-have upgrade for every AutoCAD user."
