AutoCAD 12, 13, or 14

[TheInsider]

Hello,
I can't seem to find AutoCAD versions 12, 13, or 14 anywhere -- new or used. I've searched all over the net. Does anyone know of a source? I used to work with these versions years ago, so I am comfortable with them. And I can't afford a new copy of 2002 for $5000 anyway. I can't use LT because I want the 3D rendering capabilities that only come with the full version. So for budget reasons I am looking for version 14, or 12 and 13 -- which can render with an add-on whose name I forget. I know there are programs like Caligari TrueSpace, but I prefer the power of a CAD tool. I am currently trying a TurboCAD 8 demo but it is too foreign to me because I spent 3 years using the AutoCAD interface/commands.

Thank you for any leads,
The Insider

Just a suggestion:

Most technical schools will sell a student version or higher for a lower price. Try contacting a local technical community college to see if they have any older versions that were left over or possible a newer version for a lower price. The only draw backs to using student versions are that you are not suppost to use them for business. But they have full capabilities to do what ever it is that you will need.

I hope that leads you somewhere!
