Bonuses
To obtain licenses for A>V>C> programs, you need to have enough virtual € on your account. But you don't have to spend money to top up your balance! You can go the more complicated but cheaper route. Bonuses for help A>V>C> may be credited to your balance. This is not a way to make money. There is no way you can convert bonuses into cash. But with a little work for the general benefit, you can provide yourself with a free annual license for A>V>C> programs.
Here is a partial list of ways to help:
Help in debugging programs
If you see that the program is not working correctly, then send a detailed error report. If it turns out that there is indeed an error in the source code of the program, you will be credited with bonuses from half to the full cost of the annual license of the program (command). But before sending the report, you need to make sure that you configured everything correctly, read all the documentation, tried to follow all the recommendations, reset the settings to default, rebooted the computer, reproduced the error on another computer. If you cannot reproduce the error you indicated, you will not be able to fix it and there will be no bonus. Problems associated with the operation of Windows, AutoCAD, BricsCAD, hardware failures, broken dwg files are not considered errors.
Especially a lot of bugs can be found in versions of the program marked as Beta. If you are ready to work as a bug hunter, enable the option to install beta versions in the automatic updates settings.
Help fix typos
Carefully read the texts on this site, in the documentation, in dialog boxes, tooltips, and the command line. When you see an error, typo, broken links - by all means take a screenshot (but not with your phone !!!) and send an email to avc.programming@gmail.com. Indicate under what circumstances this text appears, which command worked. If possible, insert the entire misspelled phrase and your corrected version into the email. If this is indeed a mistake, then you will receive a €1-3 bonus.
Help make texts clearer
If you know how to write the documentation or hints are shorter and clearer - feel free to send your options. If the remark seems important and will be included in the code of the next version, then you have a chance to get €1-5 bonuses.
Help with translation into other languages
Machine translation was used to translate dialog boxes and program messages into various languages. If you find errors, inaccuracies and inadequate translation - please report it and get €3-5 bonuses.
If you are ready to translate forms and dialogs into new languages that are not yet available in A>V>C> plugins, write to technical support. This is more serious help, which will transfer you to the status of a development partner and provide you with free plugins forever.
Submit videos or articles
Quality A>V>C> program reviews or training videos can cost from half to the full cost of an annual license of the program (command). It is important to place a link to the program page under your publication. It is not at all necessary to just praise the programs. But the stated data must correspond to reality. You can send the video before publication in order to be able to correct inaccuracies. If you want, a link to your video can be placed on this site. Sound language - any.
Post a comment
You can write a short comment about the A>V>C> program in the Autodesk AppStore, raise a question on any profile forum or in social networks, write an answer to someone's question mentioning the A>V>C> programs. It is important that the answer contains the correct name of the program or, better, a link to this site. It is important that the comment is in the topic and can be noticed by engineers or other potential users of the A>V>C> programs, so that it is useful. Praise is optional. You can get €1-5.
Find new users
If you bring in valuable new customers, you will receive a bonus of 30% on their donations. The offer is valid only if you already have licenses for paid programs, received more than a month ago. And only if new customers donate more than €50. Write in advance about possible new clients. There will be no bonus if there is a suspicion of prior collusion before you donated yourself.
You can think of your own ways to help - suggest!
