Yeah, when they finally ditched PowerPC and went x64/86 it caused some 
pain.  Almost as bad as when they stopped including 3.5" floppy drives!

People are saying the same thing about AutoCAD 2018.  But there's 
AutoCAD 2018 LT.  AutoCAD Lite?  AutoCAD and FM are two programs I'd 
like to learn how to use, but working full time and studying for the 
CPA doesn't leave me much time.  I have two books on AutoCAD one for 
2017 one for 2018.

Unrelated: what was the biggest file you ever encountered?  Excluding 
video & audio files.  A few years ago my friend from college dealt with 
a 900MB DXF (AutoCAD) which grew to 1GB by the end of the day.  
Surprisingly the users were able to open and manipulate the file 
perfectly fine.
