Welcome to the inaugural issue of iNews. |
Dear [customer name goes here],
Welcome to the inaugural issue of iNews, a quarterly newsletter designed especially for professionals in civil engineering, mapping, survey, land planning, AM/FM and Spatial Information Management. With this, we hope to bring you news, views, tips and tricks that might be beneficial to you.
Well, it’s been an exciting year for Autodesk. Top of the wow stakes is the 1,000+ new users of Autodesk Civil 3D. The acceptance of Civil 3D has surpassed all expectations and if rumours about the 2007 version are true, this acceptance will continue next year.
We trust that you will find this newsletter informative and that if you have any suggestions or anything to share, we'd like to hear from you. Please feel free to drop us a line at sapac.mktg@autodesk.com, who knows, your comments may be published in the next issue if iNews.
