The beta version will have several limitations:

  • Plotting is limited to DWF output.
  • The 3dCOrbit command is disabled.
  • Cannot alter the size of the pickbox and aperture box.
  • Can use only the ObjectARX apps that ship with AutoCAD 2000.

  • Only the default Heidi 3D graphics are supported.
