Project Basejump for AutoCAD Map 3D / AutoCAD Civil 3D Retires from Autodesk Labs

Autodesk no longer has an agreement with Google to distribute the free technology preview of the Google Earth Extension for AutoCAD. We brokered an agreement with Microsoft to conduct a technology preview of AutoCAD Map 3D and AutoCAD Civil 3D with the Bing web mapping service. That agreement is in effect until June 30. As such, Project Basejump will no longer operate after that date since the technology preview will have run its course.

Thanks to everyone who provided feedback on the technology preview. You were particularly impressed with the speed of the technology. This is good to know as the team considers its options moving forward. The team is even considering conducting another technology preview after incorporating some feedback.

Finishing is alive in the lab.
