The Customer Involvement Program
Nearly all the recent releases of Autodesk products include the opportunity to
participate in a customer involvement program (CIP). The CIP is designed to
collect nonpersonal information about your Autodesk products and computer
system to help the product programmers and developers design software that
best meets your needs. If you haven’t yet agreed or declined to participate, when
you first start AutoCAD the Customer Involvement Program dialog box (Fig-
ure 1.5) might prompt you to join.
FIGURE 1.5: The Customer Involvement Program dialog box
Participation is strictly voluntary and, if you choose to participate, AutoCAD
will periodically send a small file to Autodesk containing information such as
your software name and version, the commands you use, and your system con-
figuration information. An Internet connection is required, and you must ensure
that your firewall settings don’t prevent the information from being transmitted.
