You are invited to participate in helping guide the direction of Autodesk design software.

If you participate in the Customer Involvement Program, specific information about how you use AutoCAD is forwarded to Autodesk. This information includes what features you use the most, problems that you encounter, and other information helpful to the future direction of the product.

Here is a list of the information that is automatically sent to Autodesk:

  • Name and version of the Autodesk product
  • AutoCAD commands used, and amount of time spent in AutoCAD
  • Error conditions encountered, fatal, and non-fatal
  • File formats imported or exported with AutoCAD
  • Operating system name and version
  • System configuration information such as processor, amount of memory, and graphics card
  • IP address, used to identify your country or region

What the Customer Involvement Program Cannot Do

The Customer Involvement Program is committed to protecting your privacy. It cannot do any of the following:

  • Collect any drawing or design data
  • Collect any identity information such as name, address, or phone number
  • Send you email or contact you in any other way
