PDS Support files

PDS Version 16

PDS Version 16.0.00 was shipped to all registered users in July 2008, and will run inside AutoCAD R2006, R2007, R2008 and R2009.

PDS Version 16.1.00 is also compatible with AutoCAD R2010 and is now available as both a patch download, and also on DVD for users who wish to install and run PDS inside R2010. Note that the V16.1 patch does not allow you to install the R2010 version, this being a new version you must install it first time from DVD. Please contact Causeway support to request a V16.1 DVD if you wish to run the R2010 version of PDS, but if you simply use the standalone version of PDS then the V16.1 patch download below will be sufficient to allow you to communicate and export to an R2010 session. Note that there is no V16.1 patch for AutoCAD R2006.

PDS Version 17 is due for release shortly, during summer 2009.
