Hi guys,
I have recently purchased a new laptop with windows 7. it has a 64bit operating system. This is all well and good until i found that i could not install autoCAD 2008 or 09
 . i use cad every day of the week!!!!I have used XP all along and heard of Vista not being able to run CAD but i was assured that windows 7 would pose no such problems.
 Is there anyone out there that could offer me some advise on how to work around this problem?
Thanks

Mike, there are two things - AutoCAD Win7 compatibility and AutoCAD 64-bit version.
Both AutoCAD 2008 and 2009 are available as native 64-bit applications (see your installation media). Only AutoCAD 2010 is officially supported in the new Windows 7 (older versions were released before Win7 was available), but you should be able to install and use AutoCAD 2009 (64-bit) in Windows 7 64-bit.
The Tip 7044 can help you further. ------------- Vladimir Michl (moderator) ARKANCE - https://arkance.world" rel="nofollow - https://arkance.world - Autodesk Platinum Partner |
