So, I recently joined the Guild and I'm still working on my first map and I was reading all kinds of stuff I could find around here and got myself to the software discussion threads.

Since CAD programs are cited (although in what seems a lesser scale, besides CC3) I guess it could benefit informing people that you can get a completely free, completely full license, of AutoCAD, directly from AutoDesk.

The licenses are for student/college, and the only thing required is the site from the institution (no confirmation required).

To get the License:

Go to http://www.autodesk.com/education/fr...y/all-products
Click AutoCAD or a program of interest
Register or Log-in
Fill-in the info, with College site and few more stuff
Choose version to download
Enjoy!

Thanks and hope it can help someone!

P.S. Now if I had a CAD tutorial for awesome maps...
