* Revit Wants to be Bought by Autodesk...
...This is not the first time Autodesk has purchased a competitive CAD
product. Others include Generic CADD, IntelliCAD and Drafix (via SoftDesk),
and Re:GIS and UltimateCAD (from Automated Methods). Generic CADD was shut
down; IntelliCAD was resold to Visio by government dictate; Drafix was
integrated with AutoSketch; Re:GIS became World (now gone); and UltimateCAD
was shut down. ...
. . . . .
A secret lawsuit seeking a warrant for surprise search at the offices of URL
redirector kickme.to was filed on behalf of BSA member companies Autodesk,
Adobe, Macromedia and Microsoft. The Swedish court was unimpressed by BSA's
arguments and denied the request. - The Register
BTW, there are a couple of attempts to bring generic cadd back to life.
one, called tancadd, claims that when released it will have a linnux version.
the other, General Cadd, has released a Win32 version. it runs under Wine.
