We are a french reseller and we have upgraded our customer computer from xp pro to vista pro (before if possible / necessary to 7 pro) The customer's autocad 2002 (the full version , not the lt version) does not work anymore .. it sees the former licence (number and licensee name) but refuses to start (c-dilla error) I have try various solutions including reinstalling separately cd-dilla 3.24 or 3.27 .. nothing works Does someone knows if autocad 2002 can be used on vista ? on 7 ? If yes what is the trick ? looking forward your help Patrick |

There have been lots of problems w/ v2002 & other legacy versions running on Win 7. One solution with favorable reports is to run a Windows XP mode virtual system on your windows 7 box and install the program there. Another here: http://www.longbowsoftware.com/ |

Does your client do any 3D work? ------------- "Humans have a strength that cannot be measured. This is John Connor. If you are reading this, you are the resistance." <<AutoCAD 2015>> |

Since they do not do any 3D work the best solution would be to migrate over to the FREE 2D AutoCAD clone by Dassault Systemes called Draftsight. Did I mention it was FREE? They have both 32-bit and 64-bit versions available and there is even a FREE Getting Started guide in PDF form that can be downloaded as well. And it is all FREE! FREE! Get the idea? It's so close to AutoCAD that after a day's use it will be natural to them. And it reads the DWG file format (up to 2010 version) and writes to it as well. ------------- "Humans have a strength that cannot be measured. This is John Connor.

John and patrick, Draftsight reads also the AutoCAD 2013 files too and when you do a "save as" it automatically saves the file in AutoCAD 2010 ( we have AutoCAD Mechanical 2012 and not yet 2013 or ... ).
It's so close to AutoCAD ( and free ) that I don't see it as anything else than a Solidworks/Dassault way to f.... AutoCAD.
Working on draftsight is : remember an AutoCAD command, try it and you have 85% chances to make it work the same.
