Just want to make sure I got this right. I purchased a license for Ar5 nxt for AutoCad2007 last year, 9/16/2009, and have gotten updates since, I have version 1.0.220 running right now which is still the pre-release version, correct?. Do I understand correctly that this version will expire and I will need to purchase this new/official release version 232 before November30? I just want to make sure I'm not missing my great rendering plug-in when I need it. It really is a nice work, thanks guys! -Mike
I'm pretty sure 220 doesn't expire so you can keep using it as long as you like. You can, of course, update at any time if you want to get the newer stuff. See what's new for a list of features and bug fixes. You can also "downgrade" to a previous build at any time by running an older install package.
Hi Roy, I downloaded 232, ran the .exe file, but it did not give me a splash screen to purchase the new version. 232 is running fine with no problems at the moment. I assume this means there's no additional purchase required with my license? Thanks!

The Wallpaper on the left has an interesting structure, maybe it would look even better, if you make the texture seamless + applying a little bit of depth, e. g. with highpass - filter in PS?"

Will test 'Automesher LT' (developed by Automapki), if I run into troubles again.

"Good day,
I searched the former forum posts and found another option to solve this problem which is another plugin to autocad-----AUTOMAPKI. You can give it a try."
