Some people have had luck running their ACAD in 64-bit windows 7 with no additional programs. From some things I have read and some things on this thread it's pretty much hit or miss if your older program will run in the 64-bit version of Windows with or without the XP add on. I am not a computer guy so I am guessing on how the programs run. RE: AutoCAD and Windows 7 SteelPE (Structural) What's your opinion of some of the versions mentioned above- 2005, 2007-Lt or 2008 ? Likely to do ok in Win-7 under Virtual-XP you think ?Ĭ.F. So you're saying VIRTUAL-XP for -7 Pro or Ultimate is the portal. In ALL scenarios, the consumer public wins, so I say Bring it on !Īnyway- I've digressed far enough- back to the center. But as these things always go, A-Desk has nothing to worry about- either the workalike gets a little cocky and starts straying toward the darkside (our "innovation is "better") or A-Desk just buys them out. I predict that very slowly but inexorably, some of the very best workalikes are going to gain market share at A-Desk's expense. To a person, they ALL cited the very same concern you did regarding upgrade $.

They are great at what they do (I'd recommend their services to anyone) and we verified their software licenses (for obvious reasons). I'll post back here with some prime ACAD-Workalike candidates I'll be investigating once MY 64-Bit MONSTER arrives at its new home !Īt work we are running (all fully licensed) ACAD 2011 & 2010, and we have a vendor shop running 2008, one is at 2005 and we even have a 2007-Lt shop we use occasionally.
