Free X-CAD software, spread the word, 100.000 registrations needed (currently 92167 already) . Makes you wonder, what's the catch ;) ??
http://www.x-cad.net/ Just to be safe, use a separate/new e-mail address, in case it's e-mail address harvesting.
 
The catch is het magische getal. 8O Dus alleen als er precies 100.000 mensen intekenen is de software gratis voor die mensen. Zijn het er minder dan pech, zijn het er meer dan ook pech!!!!!!!! :?

nu maar hopen dat er precies 100.000 man intekenen. 8)

While searching the internet for anything related to the X-CAD software I did a search on www.thomasnet.com and came across this company website:

www.amtmolds.com/equipment.cfm

Under the heading CAD\CAM Software they list X-CAD.

Hhhmmmmmm...

Silly people.

weer een aanmelding erbij.

Ik zie wel wat er van komt
 
Oftewel een goede antispammer. Dat kan ook wonderen doen :wink:
Of hier in Belgie zet ge je antispam op van provider, dan is de kans ook al heek klein op spam. Voor diegene die er last van moest hebben. 8)
 
Niemand die dit dan maar ook een beetje verdacht vindt? Er staan niet eens voorbeelden / screenshots / opties etc... van dat programma. Trap er toch niet in, het is gewoon een truck om persoonsgegevens te krijgen.
 
Tja Ron ik heb al heel veel van die dingen gezien waarbij men op het precieze aantal te werk gaat. Is er een te weinig of teveel dan gaat het hele spelletje niet door. Dit soort reclame acties worden relatief vaak gebruikt en zeker via internet is er geen goede controle hierop mogelijk.

Desal niet te min heb ik mij toch aangemeld, en nee nog geen troep via de email binnen gekregen. Dat vakje had ik immers uitgevinkt.

Over enkele weken weten we of het niet toevallig een mispoes is of een serieuze actie met inhoud.
 
Het is echt waar:

X-CAD Unmasked: Alibre Reveals Identity of
Free 3D CAD Software, Alibre Design Xpress
Closing In On Goal of 100,000 Registrants With Over 93,000 to date
RICHARDSON, TX.—July 20, 2005—Alibre, Inc. today announced that it is the company behind the X-CAD promotion launched in late May at the web site www.x-cad.net. The company also announced that the new software, originally announced as X-CAD as part a 100,000 seat giveaway contest, will be named Alibre Design Xpress when it ships -- if 100,000 people have registered. The contest goal of 100,000 registrations appears likely: over 93,000 have registered to date and the registration rate is increasing.

Alibre Design Xpress, originally announced as X-CAD, is not demo or trial software. The product will provide 3D parametric solid modeling for mechanical design and manufacturing applications and includes functionality to design parts and assemblies, as well as create associative 2D drawings -- all at no charge.

Last week, a few X-CAD registrants were treated to a sneak peak at the new software.

"Being new to the CAD world, I didn't really know what to expect, but I found Alibre Design Xpress to be very easy to pick up and use," said Jonathan Morley, new 3D user. "I also found the included tutorials to be extremely helpful in learning the basics of the system; sketching, part modeling, assemblies -- they're all there."

"The amazing fact about this software is speed. It is both speedy to learn and speedy to use," says Mike Rehmus, Editor of Model Engine Builder magazine. "The included tutorials will have you making models in no time."

"Alibre Design Xpress is very similar to other 3D solid modelers on the market, so similar in fact that you should be up and running in no time," said Mike Hudspeth, a CAD industry analyst. "The familiar interface and work flow will mean instant productivity. I like the simple way you can dimension your sketches in this fully parametric modeler."

"The response to the X-CAD contest is beyond our expectations," said Greg Milliken, CEO of Alibre. "We set the goal high and weren't really sure how the industry would react, but 93,000+ registrations in less than two months speaks for itself. While our primary target for Alibre Design Xpress is the large number of 2D users who simply aren't going to move to an expensive and complex 3D solution, we have also had registrants from virtually every Fortune 500 company."

Given the response to date, Alibre expects Alibre Design Xpress to have a dramatic impact on the 3D mechanical CAD market. Rather than emphasizing the "conversion" to 3D, Alibre is focusing on rapidly increasing the adoption of 3D, viewing the technology as just another tool at the users' disposal, along with 2D CAD, spreadsheets, word processors and so on. In the process the company intends to foster an open, global community of users who together will advance and spread the usage of 3D.

Milliken continued, "Alibre Design Xpress is really the culmination of a long term vision: to make 3D accessible to everyone, not just those willing to pay thousands of dollars. We've always had a goal to liberate the industry -- even our company name is based on the Latin word 'liber,' the root of liberty and free!

"It's amazing that vendors in this market rely upon customer-hostile policies such as encrypted file formats and forced product retirements/upgrades - and even more amazing: their customers stand for it. We believe these oppressive practices and the companies that engage in them have basically caused the industry to stagnate, and we're out to change things.

"I also want to emphasize that Alibre Design Xpress is not a 'bait and switch' offer. We believe that by providing very high value software to a lot of people, and then engaging with them to learn from them -- while building trust by respecting their privacy and requests to opt-out of our communications -- we will increase sales of our flagship Alibre Design product family."

For more details and to register for a free copy of Alibre Design Xpress, go to www.alibre.com/xpress, or contact info@alibre.com for more information. An Alibre Design Xpress user forum and FAQ are available at the site.

dat ziet er veelbelovend uit. Ik wacht af. (dit zou het eerste Legale CAD paket van mij worden :lol: )

@Satoer:

mischien toch wel de moeite nemen om je ook in e schrijven :wink:
 
Nu al een paar dagen geleden ingeschreven en ik zeg ik heb niet meer of minder spam daardoor binnengekregen.
Dus van het spamgevaar en beschrijving heb ik op dit moment nog niks van gezien. En ja we zullen zien als de 100.000 inschrijving gedaan is wat er dan gebeurt.

Greetings
 
En dan krijg je een versie met een supergrote banner in je programma dat 30% van je workspace opvreet:

:roll: Niks gratis dus. voor een normale versie moet je 995$ neer tellen en voor de volledige versie 1795$
 
Ik kreeg deze mail:

Ik heb wel een mail gehad dat ik "een van de gelukkigen" ben. Ik kan een soort geupgrade demo downloaden, maar dat heb ik niet gedaan. Ik heb geen interresse in een nieuw programma. Ik heb er al zoveel en daar kan ik alles en zelfs meer mee dan met dit paket.

deze mail heb ik als laatste gehad.
