Summary: That Autodesk cares about it's Users.
Description: Autodesk needs to develop user-friendly pricing for AutoCAD Architecture - a product they marketed to Architects many years before their involvement with Revit. Autodesk has moved on to market Revit as the best software (rightfully so), but have left the Architects that still use AutoCAD Architecture with a minimally improved and marginally supported product. AutoCAD Architecture is being phased out, but there are still plenty of Architects that want to continue to use it, but Autodesk has priced it so that most younger Architects will switch to Revit, but leaves the older loyal AutoCAD Architecture users that have just a few years left in the profession no other choice than to pay nearly the same price as Revit for a product they barely maintain or to continue to use a earlier version.
Many Architect's had to cut expenses during the recession. The AutoCAD Architecture subscription was a victim of the need to survive for many of us. Now, to catch up, AutoCAD Architecture with a one-year subscription costs about $4,000.
My wish is that Autodesk would understand the class of users that they created and price their product so that we can retire (die) using the latest version of AutoCAD Architecture.
