compatibility windows 7 64bit and autocad

[archicampa]

Hello, everyone. I have made the "stupidated" to pass to win 7 prof. to 64bit (on cpu phemon 6x) and after a week of struggle with programs now I am with my dear and old lt 2005 (for what I need to myself it was more than good) that it no longer works in xpmode (review and print issues). I searched on the internet and tried to create a virtual machine even with vitrualbox and xp sp3 but I don't think it's a good job. Does someone know what version certainly works on win 7 to 64bit even old? I have the opportunity to buy a license lt 2008 and I would like to have the security you run smoothly, but I have no way to try it first.


then mark it for win7 64bit:
Worked:
autodesk viz 2006 installs as x86 but to turn it you have to run it as an admin.

not working:
autocads lt2005


...for now the problems I have re-examined only with autodesk products...

Luckily I don't have win 7, so I can't help you.

Unfortunately autodesk declares that in xp mode the old versions of autocad should work. . .

my post would like to be a request for "help" but I think it can also be a basis for those who need to have updated programs and full compatibility. I believe that this forum is one of the reference points for cad users and therefore it can be useful for all those who need to update or buy new programs/pc to know what to count the programs already in possession. I invite moderators to gather topics where you need info on compatibility to create a complete list of compact programs (and versions) with win7 64bit or use this. This is because often sw-producers do not warn us of incompatibility of sw/hw products and we users discover it on our skin as we discover ourselves how to make versions compatible simply, as in the case of viz 2006, launching the application in admin mode, thus saving a thousand euros for the updated version (which is sometimes only updated in the interface).

lt2005 is installed in xp-mode but when I open it in the drawing space the pointer is double: on cross with overlay the arrow of windows, then if active for example the pan I have the cross+hand. when I go out with the cursor out of the "sheet" the pan's hand back arrow win+ autocad.

in addition I have problems of compatibility of the plotter (hp desingjet 500) with lt2005 both in the graphics quality and scale drawing but I believe that this can be bypassed looking for other drivers since the plotter on win 7 does not bother me. before hitting me with the plotter though I have to solve the problem of lt. for the use I make of lt 2005 is more than good. I think I'm looking for opensources. ideas?

bricscad, tried on view64, great.

question:
you can't install it come x86 ?
What mistake?
if you abort the installation or an error code is the fault of netframework.

if you return to the newly described case then there may be another solution

mysteries of the computer!!!:36_6_6:

after this post I did not remember the type of error I reinstalled autocad (in x86) and miraculously now I can start it by passing from the "right button - run as administrator" something that didn't appear before. fact that it will be that I had tried the trial version of 2008 and that I was testing progecad 2010, maybe you installed some files and now autocad lt 2005 works (but I never understood me)... one thing is certain: until it works I keep it and when I have to change many greetings to autodesk..:3559:

p.s. for the 2010 progecad chronicle prof. from what I tried until now has full compactness with autocad files (I did not try the reverse path), the wonderful pdf import function, manages images, 3d and costs 1/2 of lt.

I don't think that autodesk does the baves for a lt license every five years... I think they won't miss you, you know?

 

[liber]

if one wants to remain in the 2005 version of lt because it thinks enough for the work that it performs why to change?
If you want to know what you want to do, you will be able to do it.

that tristan is autodesk representative.. .

I'm not a "representative"! plan with offenses

Dear Tristan, maybe you're right when you say that autodesk won't miss me... However, you must also pay attention to the end user because when you have bad services advertising is not the best.

However as regards updates to the machine on which I work it is enough "6 anni" ago (I remember that we are at the 2011 version if we want to be precise) because it serves mainly for photoshop cs5.

...but there is a doubt: maybe since the study purchased from autodesk in the years architectual desktop, 3d viz, revit, autocad and keeping updated some products to the 2011 version, maybe a little to autodesk somethingina "stomachs" interest...but perhaps this is our mistake that we believed (perhaps more than self-desk) and invested in products like viz, architectural and revit, products on which autodesk worked and promoted badly, especially the first two and I see that the lesson is not served for revit that is a great product but with a very bad marketing operation.

my discussion however wanted to be a help for those who want to know the issues in case they were willing to update the pc or I know. I would say that this goal is shipwrecked so the discussion can end here.

thanks to all equally.

but you finally managed to make him turn on win 7?

by my judge more than worthy intention; But it makes me think:
1) today develop an application well also means integrating it well with others, see integrations with the microsoft office package; fully exploit the potential of the operating system, see the crazy race at the directx acceleration set by microsoft at the time of windows view; and offer a functional product also in a multi-user and/or domain environment.

this requires intensive use of microsoft specifications (.net, bees, logs and paths of type c:/document and settings/<nome utente="">). integration has the reverse of the medal: to change the environment no longer works!
</nome>2) I imagine, and I want to hope, that you have purchased windows 7 professional or superior, since you use it for professional purposes. in this case have you tried to install autocad lt 2005 in xp mode?

If you, and did not bear fruit, I recommend a virtualization more "serious" with, for example, parallels that is a certified autodesk product.
3) before you happen the "downside tile", didn't you address the compatibility topic of software with windows 7 with your hardware supplier? If not, I think we should reflect on what type of service this supplier offers.

In conclusion, more than feeling offended or abandoned by a software house that, I am the first to support it, behaves very often unworthy, doesn't it seem strange to you to want to install a program on an operating system that is clearly indicated as not supported?

note to side ... I am installing several virtual machines, for compatibility problems, also of microsoft products ... see microsoft money.

quoto pienamente e concordo

xp mode creates a virtual machine with basic features. It is true that some programs manage to turn on xp mode but it is still virtual hardware.

the problem I think is not compatibility or not, one knows and resigns (so I will do for the scanner), the fact that it makes me incaxxare is that looking and searching on the internet you can maybe find that the problem is more or less easily solved thanks to some willing user. Of course the sw house has all the interest to update the programs but "forget" to say for example that revit 9 (if not erro and in the first wreck) was not compatible with atlon it seems a little serious ... since the bed is a problem that had already been found with 3dsmax. so buy the sw in March and you have to wait until October that the "updated" truth comes out free where they deleted "some" bugs.

if because of my testardaggine now viz2006 and lt2005 run smoothly on 7 without emulation (xpmode or slap) is certainly not a miracle or merit of autodesk. so if I have succeeded I it is likely that those brains could find a method or quick instances or plug to make you turn these versions, but of course it is easier to offer a discount of 300€ and sell a new program from 1500€...

note to side ... I am installing several virtual machines, for compatibility problems, also of microsoft products ... see microsoft money.c

Fortunately I found compatibility problems with 7 only with 2 or 3 programs (of less importance to me) but turn on xp mode. one is that for the energy certification of the Liguria that already of its sucks and from problems on xp so it was imaginable and known.

to conclude on the compactness of the programs there are those who are moving to create a list of what goes and what is wrong, with the thanks of microsoft. just put on google windows 7 compatibility.

xp mode creates a virtual machine with basic features. It is true that some programs manage to turn on xp mode but it is still virtual hardware.

ok, well, but tell me to use 2005 or 2006 lts, which were designed for much less performing hardware than a good virtual machine on current hardware.

... the fact that it makes me incaxxare is that looking and searching on the internet you can maybe find that the problem is more or less easily solved thanks to some volenteroso user.

Okay, the patch very often you can find... I saw people who managed to get autocad on linux!

But this does not mean that, a professional, when he is going to change his work tools, more than the pieces and the strokes of luck he should rely on "supported" tools; where there is a problem you have a wide support for resolution. just so you don't see yourself raising a nice middle finger in case of future problems.

... those brains could find a quick method or instances or plug to make you turn these versions, but of course it is easier to offer a discount of 300€ and sell a new program from 1500€ ...

On the other hand, they have to make developers, generate patches for all and previous versions to every microsoft ? then the software would cost us a fortune.

the idea that a 2005 program turns on a 2005 platform seems normal to me. Also, since today we do not know what we will do tomorrow, they could not create a program in 2005 compatible with an operating system of 2010.

reflection. compared with many other technological products, for example the car that as prerequisites has a road whose specification has not changed for millennia, he household appliances whose electric specification does not change of 1900, a support on a 3 year software to "unlimited mileage" is much better than he is around, since he had to wait for targets to have a minimum of 2 years warranty.

I installed civil 2006 on win 7 home professional, ok I have to run it as administrator, ok jumps out the window with the writing that is not supported, but it turns the same, and eliminating the 2 warnings of win 7 you don't even have those two annoying windows.
I agree with archicampa on some aspects of autodesk, anyone in possession of map 2006 or civil 2006 (maybe even autocad 2006) can do the test and realize the enormous nonsense has made the autodesk in phase of installation.
then install the xp operating system, update it with all the service packs, update it until the netframework 3.5, and after trying to install the two above-mentioned autodesk packages, you will realize that it will not be possible to install them.
question these 2 software are not compatible with xp??? How come? aborts installation? ?
the problem is of extreme banality, as it is so simple to correct the defect in a setup.ini of the autodesk.

hi I read this topic after a similar problem, I installed autocad 2002 lt on w7 64 bit, it works everything except after some command gives me "internal error: gedit 3" and asks me to save and then closes, I know of incompatibility between the software but I ask you if by chance there is some new solution. I also updated net framework 4 but I always have the same error.
I'm not a computer.

ps: in xp mode I have it and it works but I can't then see the folders to open the files with the cam in w7

 

[Tristan]

I also updated net framework 4 but I always have the same error.

autocad 2002 does not use .net 4

 

[Decibel]

autocad 2002 does not use .net 4

So there's no solution?
