Everyone using Autodesk software should read this to understand what is really happenign here.
This started as an idea that we were able to vote in the ideas forum, they moved it to a very hidden subforum where you cannot see the votes (the idea had around 100 votes in just a few hours, when the most voted idea has had for months around 171 votes, now you know the real reason why they moved it IMHO)
This should be spreaded.
Cheers.
it’s their forum if they choose to bury/move the ‘idea’ they’ll have to live with the consequences. which might be that of a company blind and deaf to it’s users concerns.
sign and share please 🙂

I REALLY, truly appreciate the effort here, and the noble intent of the creators..AND the spirit in which people are signing it.
But…do you, at this point, really believe that Autodesk (the publicly-held entity, not the employees) has any interest in listening to the customers?
US: “This feature has the most votes!” Autodesk: “Who cares, here are 40 lower rated features we can easily toss out there!”
US: “We’re telling you in every forum possible we don’t want rental!” Autodesk: “Well, you can take rental with a smile on your face, or we’ll hike your renewal cost until you’re forced to rent!”
They clearly have a business plan that is disconnected from the customer. Until there is actual FISCAL proof that this plan is flawed, they could not care less about what customers say. They don’t want happy customers, they want money…if half their customers leave, but they can make twelve cents more from the unhappy people who feel forced to stay, they’ll count it a win.
