Student edition of IronCAD Students are strongly encouraged to obtain their own copy, as it provides the same functionality as the full production version. To order the student edition, contact MagnaCAD Designs, Inc. at 631.462.1190 (http://www.magnacad.com/purdue.html) or call IronCAD, LLC Sales Resource Center at 800.339.7304. Purdue students are permitted to use the software while they are in school, including time spent on CO-OP and internship programs. Students are responsible for the individually assigned serial number and codeword that accompanies the software.
IMPORTANT: For the Fall 2008 semester, IronCAD 10 HF4 is the only version being used in the Knoy Hall B018 lab. However, across the whole West Lafayette Campus previous versions may still be in use. Any version other than 10.0 HF4 should not be used, as it would be incompatible with your work accomplished in B018.
