Independent AutoCAD software guidance
Compare AutoCAD software and AutoCAD LT software, review your business requirements, and plan setup, training and implementation before purchasing directly from Autodesk or an authorized provider.
CAD Verdict is an independent service provider and is not Autodesk or an Autodesk authorized reseller. AutoCAD software subscriptions are purchased separately through Autodesk or an authorized provider.
Serving businesses across our service area, remote and on site. Calling is the fastest way to get an answer. If we do not pick up we are with another client, so leave a voicemail with your name, your number and what you need and you get a call back. Prefer not to call? Request a callback and we ring you.
Three routes. Pick the one that matches where you are right now.
Compare AutoCAD software and AutoCAD LT software, review your drawing requirements, users, computers, collaboration needs, setup requirements and training needs before purchasing through Autodesk or an authorized provider.
Get independent help with workspace configuration, plotting, drawing units, templates, layers, standards, employee training and workflow improvements.
Request professional drafting, PDF-to-DWG conversion, drawing revisions, cleanup and custom DWG deliverables.
Fastest route
Leave your details and we call you back to work out what you actually need, whether that is a software recommendation, a setup session or a drafting quote.
Calls come first here. If the phone rings out we are on a job, so a voicemail with your name and number gets returned. Texts work too. We do not use email.
Independent services around AutoCAD software. Everything below is a service, not a software sale.
Requirements review before you buy, so the subscription matches the drawings you produce.
An independent look at the decision factors between the two products.
Workspace, units, layers, styles, plotting and file organization configured consistently.
Training built on your drawings, your standards and your production workflow.
New drawings, revisions, cleanup and as-built documentation from information you supply.
Flat files rebuilt as organized, editable drawings, with the limits stated up front.
Every engagement starts with a written description of the work before anything begins.
You know the file formats, sheet counts and output before work starts.
The number of revision rounds and the review window are stated in the scope.
We are not a reseller, so the recommendation follows your workflow rather than a sales target.
Project files move through agreed channels and stay inside the engagement.
Screen sharing, phone and text keep work moving without a site visit.
Pricing is quoted per project after the files and scope are reviewed.
Software is bought directly from Autodesk or an authorized provider, never from us.
We never ask for account credentials, license keys or activation codes.
Buying software
Software subscriptions are bought directly from Autodesk or an authorized provider. We are not part of that transaction. We help you decide what to buy, then help you implement it.
Pricing, licensing terms, product features, promotions and system requirements are set by Autodesk and change without notice. Confirm all of it on Autodesk's website before purchasing.
Independence disclosure: CAD Verdict is not Autodesk and is not an Autodesk authorized reseller. We do not sell AutoCAD software subscriptions, licenses or activation keys, we do not process software payments, and we receive no commission on software purchases.
Paid link. If you buy after clicking the button below, we earn a commission from Autodesk on qualifying new subscriptions, at no extra cost to you. The purchase and subscription are completed directly through Autodesk, on Autodesk’s website and under Autodesk’s terms. CAD Verdict is still not Autodesk, not an Autodesk authorized reseller and not the seller of the software.
Software subscriptions are purchased on Autodesk’s own website, under Autodesk’s terms, and are billed by Autodesk. CAD Verdict does not sell, process or receive payment for AutoCAD software purchases, and does not resell or supply licenses.
No. CAD Verdict is not Autodesk and is not an Autodesk authorized reseller. Subscriptions are purchased from Autodesk or an authorized provider. We provide independent guidance, setup, training, drafting and workflow services.
No. We are an independent CAD services provider with no affiliation, sponsorship or endorsement from Autodesk.
We can review your drawing types, users, computers, collaboration needs and training requirements, then give you an independent recommendation. Final product features, pricing and licensing terms must be confirmed with Autodesk before purchase.
We ask what you draw, who draws it, what has to be delivered and where the current workflow breaks. You get a recommendation and, where relevant, a written scope and estimate.
Not unless that service is specifically stated in a written proposal and performed by an appropriately licensed professional. Standard drafting does not constitute architectural or engineering certification or permitting approval.
If we do not pick up we are with another client. Leave a voicemail with your name, your number and what you need, and you get a call back. Voicemails are returned. Missed calls without one are not.
AutoCAD software guidance
Not sure whether your business needs AutoCAD software, AutoCAD LT software or another workflow? We review your drawing requirements, users, computers, collaboration needs, automation needs, training requirements and implementation plans before you purchase directly from Autodesk or an authorized provider.
CAD Verdict provides independent software-selection guidance. We are not Autodesk and are not currently an Autodesk authorized reseller. Software pricing, product features, licensing terms, promotions and system requirements must be confirmed with Autodesk before purchase.
Most software decisions are settled faster on a call than in a form. Leave your details and we will call you back.
These are the questions that actually determine which product fits. We work through them with you rather than pointing at a feature grid.
Whether the work is purely 2D documentation or genuinely needs 3D modelling changes the answer immediately. Most drafting-only workflows never touch 3D.
Seat count drives cost more than any other factor. We look at who truly needs to author drawings versus who only needs to view or mark up.
Feature availability and workflow differ by platform. If your team is mixed, that has to be settled before purchase, and confirmed against Autodesk's current published requirements.
How drawings move between office, field, clients and consultants, including markup rounds and who needs edit rights.
What formats your clients and trades expect back, and whether legacy files have to keep opening cleanly.
Whether you have a title block, layer structure and plotting setup, or whether that needs to be built as part of implementation.
Skill level across the team, and how much training is needed before the software produces billable work.
Installation planning, workstation configuration, file organization and the order the rollout should happen in.
Whether repetitive tasks justify scripting or custom tooling, which is a real differentiator between products.
Callback form or a phone call. What you draw, how many people, what has to be delivered.
Drawing types, users, computers, collaboration, compatibility, templates and training gaps.
In writing, with the reasoning shown, and with the points you must confirm with Autodesk.
On Autodesk's website, under Autodesk's terms. We are not part of that transaction.
Setup, templates, standards and training, quoted separately as services.
Yes. We receive no commission on software purchases and are not an authorized reseller, so our fee is the same whichever product you choose or where you buy it.
No. Pricing changes and is controlled by Autodesk. Check Autodesk's website for current pricing and terms before purchasing.
No. The guidance stands on its own. Implementation services are quoted separately and are entirely optional.
No. We do not process or receive payment for software. You purchase directly from Autodesk or an authorized provider.
If we do not pick up we are with another client. Leave a voicemail with your name, your number and what you need, and you get a call back. Voicemails are returned. Missed calls without one are not.
Independent comparison
This is an independent decision guide for businesses choosing between AutoCAD software and AutoCAD LT software. It walks through the factors that actually decide the answer for a working drafting team, rather than restating a feature grid.
This is not an official Autodesk product page. CAD Verdict is an independent service provider and is not Autodesk or an Autodesk authorized reseller. Product features, pricing, promotions, licensing terms and system requirements are set by Autodesk, change without notice, and must be confirmed on Autodesk’s website before you purchase. Nothing here should be treated as a current feature list.
Confirm current features, system requirements, pricing and licensing terms on Autodesk’s own website before you purchase. Subscriptions are bought directly from Autodesk or an authorized provider. CAD Verdict does not sell software and does not take payment for it.
Ten minutes on the phone usually resolves the question faster than any comparison page, because the answer depends on your drawings.
Start here
Faster than reading a feature list, because the answer depends on your work rather than the product.
Six questions. Nothing is submitted, nothing is stored, and no contact details are requested. This is an independent starting point, not a purchase and not advice from Autodesk.
Product features change and Autodesk controls them. Confirm current features, system requirements, licensing terms and pricing on Autodesk’s website before you purchase. This result is an independent starting point based only on your six answers.
Verified against Autodesk’s own published comparison and written in our own words. No pricing appears here: Autodesk sets it, it changes, and a stale number would mislead you.
| Capability | AutoCAD software | AutoCAD LT software | What it means for your work |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2D drafting, drawings and documentation | Yes | Yes | Both products cover precision 2D geometry, annotation and documentation. |
| 3D modelling | Yes | No | The full product creates and edits 3D models using solids, surfaces and mesh objects. The LT product does not create or edit 3D geometry. |
| 3D viewing and isometric work | Full | Limited | The LT product supports 2D isometric views that read as three-dimensional, though Autodesk notes they cannot be manipulated as easily. |
| Rendering and visual styles | Yes | No | Lighting, materials and visual styles are part of the full product only. |
| Industry-specific toolsets | Seven | None | Architecture, Mechanical, Map 3D, MEP, Electrical, Plant 3D and Raster Design ship with the full product. None are available in the LT product. |
| AutoLISP automation | Yes | Yes | Autodesk states both products run AutoLISP routines to automate repetitive tasks. |
| API development and debugging | Yes | No | Deeper automation, custom tooling and third-party integration sit with the full product. |
| Parametric constraints and dynamic blocks | Yes | Limited | Creating and editing dynamic 2D geometry with parametric constraints is listed for the full product. |
| CAD standards checking | Automated | Largely manual | Autodesk notes that checking standards in the LT product largely requires manual input. |
| Autodesk App Store access | 1000+ apps | Not listed | The full product subscription includes access to the third-party app store. |
| Web and mobile collaboration | Yes, plus extras | Yes | Both include web access. The full product adds subscriber-only web functions such as the AutoLISP web API and batch plotting to PDF. |
| Free trial | 15 days | 15 days | Autodesk lists a 15-day trial for both, with full features during the trial. |
| Devices per subscription | Up to 3 | Up to 3 | Autodesk states installation on up to three devices, with the named user signed in on one machine at a time. |
Source and verification. Capability information above was verified against Autodesk’s own published comparison of AutoCAD software and AutoCAD LT software at autodesk.com, article dated 7 September 2025, checked on 29 July 2026. Written in our own words, not reproduced from Autodesk. Autodesk controls these products and changes them without notice, and this page carries no pricing because pricing changes more often still. Confirm current features, system requirements, licensing terms and pricing directly with Autodesk before you purchase.
If every deliverable for the next year is a 2D sheet set, the decision usually turns on cost and seat count rather than capability.
Any genuine 3D requirement changes the answer. Be honest about whether 3D is real work or an aspiration nobody has time for.
Repetitive tasks measured in hours per week are where automation pays. If nobody will build or maintain it, that advantage is theoretical.
Discipline-specific toolsets matter only if your drawings match that discipline. Confirm what is currently included directly with Autodesk.
How files move between office, field, clients and consultants, and who needs edit rights versus view and markup.
Mixed seat strategies are common. Not everyone who touches a drawing needs the same capability.
Capability you cannot use is not capability. Weigh the training time each option realistically requires.
Templates, standards, plotting and file organization take the same effort either way, and are usually what actually improves output.
Compare the subscription plus training plus implementation, not the headline figure alone. Confirm current pricing with Autodesk.
Because those change and Autodesk controls them. Publishing a stale feature table would be misleading. Confirm current features, requirements and pricing on Autodesk's website.
Yes. On a call we can go through Autodesk's current published information together and match it against your drawings, users and budget.
No. The right answer depends on 3D need, automation value, seat count and client requirements. Any blanket recommendation is a sales pitch, not advice.
No. We are not an authorized reseller, there is no affiliate link on this website, and we receive no commission from any software purchase.
If we do not pick up we are with another client. Leave a voicemail with your name, your number and what you need, and you get a call back. Voicemails are returned. Missed calls without one are not.
AutoCAD software setup
Independent AutoCAD software setup so the software behaves the same way on every machine in the office: workspace, units, layers, styles, plotting, templates and file organization.
CAD Verdict is an independent service provider and is not Autodesk or an Autodesk authorized reseller. AutoCAD software subscriptions are purchased separately through Autodesk or an authorized provider.
No. We provide independent setup and workflow services. Account, billing, activation and official product support are handled by Autodesk.
Yes. Multi-user consistency is usually the point. We document the settings so a new machine can be brought in line later.
Usually not. Sessions are scheduled around production, and remote setup keeps disruption short.
Better. We configure to match it rather than replacing it, and flag anything internally inconsistent.
If we do not pick up we are with another client. Leave a voicemail with your name, your number and what you need, and you get a call back. Voicemails are returned. Missed calls without one are not.
AutoCAD software training
Practical AutoCAD software training for businesses, developed around the drawings your team actually produces, the standard they have to follow and the deliverables they have to issue.
CAD Verdict is an independent service provider and is not Autodesk or an Autodesk authorized reseller. AutoCAD software subscriptions are purchased separately through Autodesk or an authorized provider.
This is independent instruction. CAD Verdict is not an Autodesk Authorized Training Center and does not issue Autodesk certification. No certificate of Autodesk qualification is provided.
No. It is independent training built around your workflow. We are not an Autodesk Authorized Training Center and we do not issue Autodesk certification.
Yes, and it should. Training on generic exercise files is the fastest way to waste the session.
Session length and count are agreed in the written scope, based on the team's starting level and what has to be produced afterwards.
Yes. Individual training is common, especially for a new hire joining an established standard.
If we do not pick up we are with another client. Leave a voicemail with your name, your number and what you need, and you get a call back. Voicemails are returned. Missed calls without one are not.
AutoCAD drafting services
Professional AutoCAD drafting from the information you already have: sketches, field dimensions, PDFs, photographs of marked-up plans, or an existing drawing set that needs extending, revising or cleaning up.
CAD Verdict is an independent service provider and is not Autodesk or an Autodesk authorized reseller. AutoCAD software subscriptions are purchased separately through Autodesk or an authorized provider.
The number of revision rounds and the length of the review window are stated in the written scope before work begins. Changes that go beyond the agreed scope are quoted separately rather than absorbed silently.
Standard drafting services do not automatically include architectural or engineering seals, permitting approval or licensed professional certification. Where a project requires those, they must be provided by an appropriately licensed professional and stated explicitly in a written proposal.
We can produce drawings. Whether a set satisfies a permit office depends on that authority and on whether a licensed professional's seal is required. That has to be confirmed for the specific project.
We will tell you exactly what is missing before quoting rather than guessing. Guessed dimensions produce drawings nobody can build from.
Often, yes. Legibility and at least one known real dimension decide whether it is workable.
Rights transfer as stated in the written proposal, normally on receipt of full payment.
If we do not pick up we are with another client. Leave a voicemail with your name, your number and what you need, and you get a call back. Voicemails are returned. Missed calls without one are not.
PDF-to-DWG conversion
Convert eligible PDFs, marked-up plans, hand sketches and legacy drawings into organized, editable DWG files, with an honest assessment of what the source material can actually support before any work begins.
CAD Verdict is an independent service provider and is not Autodesk or an Autodesk authorized reseller. AutoCAD software subscriptions are purchased separately through Autodesk or an authorized provider.
Conversion accuracy depends entirely on the source. Where a source is incomplete, distorted or illegible, we identify the affected areas rather than inventing geometry, and the delivered file notes what could not be resolved.
As accurate as the source allows. A clean vector PDF converts very closely. A photographed scan of an old print does not, and we say so before quoting.
Real layers. Organizing geometry by object type is the point of the exercise.
Supply one known dimension and we scale to it. Without any reference dimension, the geometry cannot be trusted.
Yes, and it is often cheaper. Tell us which areas matter.
If we do not pick up we are with another client. Leave a voicemail with your name, your number and what you need, and you get a call back. Voicemails are returned. Missed calls without one are not.
Templates and workflow
One template every drawing starts from, one layer standard everyone follows, and file organization that survives new hires. This is the work that quietly makes an AutoCAD software investment pay off.
CAD Verdict is an independent service provider and is not Autodesk or an Autodesk authorized reseller. AutoCAD software subscriptions are purchased separately through Autodesk or an authorized provider.
Because it is the difference between drawings that look like one company produced them and drawings that look like five people improvised.
Yes. Updating what you have is usually faster and less disruptive than starting over.
They start from the template and the written standard. That is most of onboarding solved.
Yes, as a separate arrangement covering scheduled hours, template updates, onboarding and troubleshooting.
If we do not pick up we are with another client. Leave a voicemail with your name, your number and what you need, and you get a call back. Voicemails are returned. Missed calls without one are not.
Multi-seat planning
Seat count drives the bill more than any other decision, and it is the one most businesses guess at. We work out who genuinely needs to author drawings, who only needs to open or mark them up, and what the rollout looks like once the subscriptions exist.

Most companies buy the same subscription for everyone. That is rarely the cheapest answer or the most useful one.
They create and edit drawings daily. They need a full authoring subscription, and they are the people worth training properly.
They make occasional changes, mostly 2D. Often the group where a lighter product covers the work at lower cost.
They open, measure and mark up but rarely draw. Frequently do not need an authoring seat at all, which is where the savings hide.
A few days a month. Autodesk publishes a pay-as-you-go option that can suit this pattern, and it is worth asking them about.
Which subscription types, pay-as-you-go options and terms are currently offered is set by Autodesk and changes. We help you work out how many people fall into each group and what the rollout requires. You confirm the current options and pricing with Autodesk, then purchase directly from them.
The subscription is the visible cost. These are the ones that decide whether the rollout actually works. Figures come from your scope, not from Autodesk.
Priced by Autodesk, per seat, on terms they set. Confirm current figures with them.
One-off. Workspace, units, layers, styles, plotting and file organization across every machine, quoted after we see your output.
One-off. Title block, layer standard, plot styles and a written standard the team follows.
Sized to the team and their starting level. Capability nobody can use is not capability.
Optional. Scheduled hours for onboarding, template updates and troubleshooting.
Every item except the subscriptions is quoted by us in writing, after a scope review. We publish no prices on this website because a fair number depends on your files, seats, deadlines and deliverables.
Take this list to the call, or to Autodesk. Either way it will save you money.
We can quote our part in writing after a scope review: setup, templates, standards, training and any drafting. The subscriptions are priced by Autodesk and you buy those directly from them, so confirm those figures on their website.
No, and often you should not. Authors, occasional editors and reviewers frequently have different needs. Working that out is most of what the planning session does.
No. We do not sell, process or take payment for software. You purchase directly from Autodesk or an authorized provider.
It depends on headcount, how many machines are involved and whether templates and standards have to be built first. The written plan sets out the order and the timing.
If we do not pick up we are with another client. Leave a voicemail with your name, your number and what you need, and you get a call back. Voicemails are returned. Missed calls without one are not.
Portfolio
Each project below is a demonstration created in house to show how a typical AutoCAD workflow problem gets solved, from the starting condition through to the delivered files. They illustrate method rather than reporting client outcomes.
These are demonstration projects created to illustrate our AutoCAD workflow. They are not client work, and no customer names, results, timings or savings are claimed anywhere on this website. Client work will be published only where we hold written permission to display it.
A client held only a flat PDF of a drawing set. Nothing in it could be edited, and the original DWG no longer existed anywhere in the business.
The sheet was rebuilt as real geometry, organized onto layers by object type, with text and dimensions recreated and the whole drawing scaled against a known reference dimension.
Businesses that inherited drawings from a previous consultant and need to keep working on them.
Demonstration project created to illustrate our AutoCAD workflow.
A layout changed after drawings were issued. Markups were piling up faster than anyone could enter them, and the sheet index no longer matched the set.
Partitions were relocated, dimension chains updated, revision clouds and tags applied, and every affected sheet checked for internal consistency.
Contractors and designers dealing with scope changes mid-project.
Demonstration project created to illustrate our AutoCAD workflow.
Drawings looked different depending on who produced them. There were several competing title blocks and no agreed sheet layout.
A single title block was built with attributes for project data, wrapped into a drawing template with page setups and plot styles so every new sheet starts correctly.
Firms that want their drawing set to look like one company produced it.
Demonstration project created to illustrate our AutoCAD workflow.
Line weights printed inconsistently between machines, layers were invented per project, and plots came out at the wrong scale depending on who pressed print.
A layer standard was defined with names, colours and line weights, then bound to plot style tables and page setups deployed across every workstation.
Offices where the same drawing prints differently on different desks.
Demonstration project created to illustrate our AutoCAD workflow.
A hand sketch with field dimensions was the only record of a layout. It could not be issued to a client or a trade in that form.
The geometry was redrawn precisely in CAD against the supplied dimensions, with the assumptions documented where the sketch was ambiguous.
Anyone working from field notes who needs an issuable drawing.
Demonstration project created to illustrate our AutoCAD workflow.
A working file had accumulated duplicate geometry, unused layers, stray blocks and text at inconsistent sizes. It opened slowly and printed badly.
Duplicate and orphaned geometry was removed, layers consolidated to the standard, text and dimension styles normalized, and the file audited and purged.
Teams inheriting a messy file that has to stay in production.
Demonstration project created to illustrate our AutoCAD workflow.
Send the file, the sketch or the photo. We will tell you what is workable before quoting.
About
We help businesses decide what AutoCAD software they need, set it up properly, train the people who use it, and produce the drawings when there is more work than drafting capacity.
This business is being established as an independent provider of AutoCAD-related guidance, setup, training, drafting and workflow services. Before launch, this section must be updated with the real business identity, personnel, experience and qualifications.
Four things: independent guidance before a software purchase, setup and configuration afterwards, training built on your own drawings, and production drafting including PDF-to-DWG conversion. Every engagement runs on a written scope with defined deliverables.
CAD Verdict is not Autodesk. We are not an Autodesk store, not an Autodesk authorized reseller and not an Autodesk Authorized Training Center, and we hold no Autodesk partnership, authorization or endorsement. We do not sell AutoCAD software subscriptions, licenses, accounts, activation keys or downloads, and we do not accept payment for software.
We also do not provide architectural, engineering or surveying services. Drafting work does not include seals, stamps, permitting approval or licensed professional certification unless that is stated explicitly in a written proposal and performed by an appropriately licensed professional.
Per project, after a scope review. There are no published package prices on this website because a fair number depends on your files, sheet count, users, deadline and deliverables.
There is no affiliate link anywhere on this website, and we receive no commission when you buy software. That is deliberate. A recommendation is only worth something if the person giving it is paid the same either way.
Where a link is marked as a paid link, we earn a commission from Autodesk on qualifying new subscriptions at no extra cost to you. Our service fees are the same whichever product you choose and wherever you buy it, and you are always free to go straight to Autodesk without using our link. A recommendation is only worth something if the person giving it is paid the same either way, so the commission never changes what we recommend.

CAD Verdict is an independent CAD services provider. It is not Autodesk, not an Autodesk store, not an Autodesk authorized reseller, not an Autodesk Authorized Training Center and not an Autodesk partner, and it did not create or own AutoCAD software. Nothing on this website should be read as claiming affiliation, endorsement, certification, partnership or authorization.
Autodesk and AutoCAD are registered trademarks or trademarks of Autodesk, Inc., and/or its subsidiaries and/or affiliates in the USA and other countries. They are referenced here only to describe the software our independent services relate to.
Content on this website describes services in general terms. It is not a quote, a proposal, a contract or professional advice for a specific project. A written proposal governs any engagement.
We do not sell software licenses, subscriptions, activation keys or accounts, and we do not take payment for software. Pricing, licensing terms, features, availability and support are controlled by Autodesk or another authorized provider and can change without notice. Confirm current terms directly with the seller before purchasing. Customers are responsible for holding a valid license for any software they use.
Work is performed under a written scope identifying deliverables, price, estimated timeline and revision terms. A quote reflects the information available when it was prepared. If the files or requirements differ materially from what was described, the scope and price may need revising before work continues. Changes requested after acceptance are handled as a change order.
Deliverables depend on the accuracy and completeness of what you supply. We are not responsible for errors originating in customer-supplied dimensions, drawings, sketches or instructions.
You confirm that you own, or have permission to use and modify, every file you send, and you are responsible for any third-party rights in those files. Rights in delivered work transfer as stated in the written proposal, normally on receipt of full payment. Templates, tools and internal methods developed by us remain ours unless the proposal states otherwise.
Payment terms are stated in the written proposal. Work may pause if an invoice is past due. Files are delivered in the agreed formats through the agreed channel. Timelines assume you supply required information, approvals and feedback on schedule; if those are delayed, the schedule moves accordingly.
Purchases from Autodesk or any other third party are transactions between you and that company, under that company's terms. We are not responsible for their products, pricing, billing, support or refunds.
Drafting services are not architectural, engineering or surveying services and do not include seals, stamps, permitting approval or code certification unless specifically stated in a written proposal and performed by an appropriately licensed professional. We cannot guarantee that any authority will approve a drawing set.
Services are provided as described in the written scope. To the extent permitted by law, no other warranties are made, total liability arising from an engagement is limited to the amount paid for the specific service giving rise to the claim, and neither party is liable for indirect, incidental or consequential damages.
These terms are governed by the laws of the jurisdiction in which the business operates, and the applicable venue and dispute-resolution process are confirmed in the written proposal.

This document is in preparation. It must be reviewed against the operating jurisdiction and the actual practices of the business before launch.
This policy applies to services purchased directly from us. It does not apply to software or subscriptions purchased from Autodesk or any other seller.
Paid consultations may be rescheduled or cancelled with reasonable advance notice, as stated in your written scope, for a full refund. Once a consultation has taken place, the time has been delivered and the fee is not refundable.
A deposit reserves production time and covers the review and setup that begins immediately. If a project is cancelled after work has started, completed work is billable at the rate or proportion stated in the written scope, and any balance beyond the value of work performed is refunded. Files for partially completed work are released as stated in the scope.
Cancellations should be sent in writing and take effect on receipt. We may also decline or end an engagement, for example where required files cannot be supplied, the scope falls outside what we can responsibly deliver, or the request would need licensed professional services we do not provide. In that case, amounts paid for work not performed are refunded.
Scheduled sessions missed without reasonable notice may be counted as delivered. Any rescheduling allowance is stated in your written scope.
Drafting, conversion, templates and standards are produced for one customer and cannot be resold. Once delivered and accepted, custom work is not refundable. Errors attributable to our production are corrected at no charge under the revision terms in the written scope.
Software subscriptions, licenses and renewals are sold by Autodesk or another authorized provider. Refunds, cancellations, billing changes and license transfers for those purchases are controlled by that seller and must be requested from them. We cannot refund a transaction we did not process, and we do not hold or control those accounts.

CAD Verdict is not enrolled in any approved affiliate program, and no link anywhere on this website is an affiliate link.
There is also no outbound link to Autodesk or to any other software seller anywhere on this website at present. We receive no commission from any software purchase, and we have no financial interest in which product you choose or where you buy it.
CAD Verdict participates in the Autodesk Affiliate Program through the CJ Affiliate network. Where a link on this website is marked as a paid link, buying after clicking it earns us a commission from Autodesk on qualifying new subscriptions.
Your price is not increased. The purchase and subscription are completed directly through Autodesk, on Autodesk's website and under Autodesk's terms, and Autodesk bills and supports it. We are not the seller and we are not an Autodesk authorized reseller.
Every paid link is labelled where it appears, with the disclosure directly above the link rather than only on this page, and carries the sponsored attribute so its nature is machine readable. Links that are not compensated are not labelled as paid links.
CAD Verdict is an independent service provider and is not Autodesk. We do not sell AutoCAD software licenses, subscriptions or activation keys, and we do not process or receive payment for software purchases. Any purchase is completed on the seller's website, under the seller's terms, billed and supported by the seller.
Should an affiliate relationship be approved in future, every compensated link will be clearly disclosed at the point where it appears, not only on this page, and will carry the appropriate machine-readable attribute. This page will be updated on the same day, and the statement above will be replaced rather than left standing.
A link will be described as an affiliate link only when it actually is one. Ordinary links to manufacturer documentation, support pages or reference material are not affiliate links and are not labelled as such.
Software guidance is based on the drawings you produce, the features you need, the number of users, the computers involved and the training and implementation work required. Our service fees are the same regardless of which product you buy or where you buy it, and you are always free to purchase directly from the manufacturer or another authorized provider.
