Issue

Due to recent legislation introduced in the United States, Daylight Savings Time will begin one month earlier on March 11, 2007. You want to know if this will affect AutoCAD® operation and/or functionality.

Solution

AutoCAD® and AutoCAD LT® functionality will not be affected by the changes to Daylight Savings Time. Both licensing and installation systems will tolerate this change without incident.

The Sunlight object in AutoCAD which has a Daylight Savings Time option will not be affected because it is a manual setting.
