Or, if you really, really really must use autoCAD - stick with a particular version until the new version has a tool that you truly need.

Problem #1: I'm not in charge of what operating system we get at work.
Problem #2: I'm not in charge of what version of CAD I have on my computer.

I snuck some Chrono Cross music into the slideshow video I made for my cousin's wedding this Sunday. I might be the geekiest guy ever.

That would be the aforementioned product managers. Tongue

As one of the users, you should have a saying.
Try to chat with whoever is in charge and find out the reason for such yearly changes, while inserting the notion that "long-term support software" exists for a good reason: waste less time adjusting to novelty crap that brings zero added productivity.

Boiling up some sort of hipster farmer's market ravioli, which I will top with hipster marker's market ghee and serve with boiled frozen green beans.

You should hear the kind of bitching that goes on when someone looses a single function in a program, let alone suggesting everyone learn a whole new OS. I don't get paid enough to take that sort of crap from people. Tongue
