With all this talk of clouds in the air, it is interesting to note that Autodesk has moved AutoCAD’s Help system to a browser-based format, with online access as the default. So, how has Autodesk done with this first dipping of its toes into the cloudy waters with its primary mainstream product? I’ve already had a couple of unsolicited comments on the subject, and I’d like to hear from you. How do you rate the following, compared with previous releases?

• Performance (online)
• Performance (offline)
• Search results
• Content completeness and accuracy
• Ease of manual browsing
• Efficiency of user interface
• Concept of online Help
• Anything else you want to mention
