Anyone had any luck with finding a gdifont3.hdi that works with Windows 10? Program opens showing error, pull downs work. Real close. I had to add the Heidi3.dll first but it opens looks right has some functionality. Any ideas?
I did a complete new install, just for fun and to check if it realy works.. Well it did blow my mind, because I was looking for a free solution, instead of using/buying expensive software like Longbow...
I have installed an original AutoCad Release R14 with the codes on the CD and without online activation, which didn`t existed back in the days, and it works like a charm.. It even works with other old software you like to install.. (the WineVDM software I meant)..
So if you have older software that doesn`t needs to connect to the internet for activation it shouldn`t be a problem, I think.. Mine is working at the moment, just for fun, to see if I could install it and run it under a modern OS.. Well it, worked..

I have been trying for years to get my copy of Autocad 14 to work on Windows 10. I found this and though great. Well not so great. I go thru all the steps and it starts installing and gets to 31% and then I get this error
About @infoQD2PZ's tips above... I got a new Windows 11 PC and I was curious so I tested his manual process. Aside from the difficulties installing those components on the latest versions of Windows (which I think will be a struggle for some people on here) some real world drawing editing etc show that R14 runs but with lots of issues. For instance, the Properties panel doesn't work and Express Tools is broken. No good for me. Oops, I just noticed VBA and Image support is broken also.
@thermostat Longbow Still working great for me - Here are the latest install instructions for Windows 11 (apparently same for Windows 10), took 3 minutes start to finish for me -autocad-r14-on-windows-11/
I am purchasing a mac and I will partition my drive to download Windows. I will download AutoCAD only to the windows partition but I have no idea of how much storage I should set aside for my Windows partition. Will 125GB be sufficient? Does it matter whether I buy a hdd with extra storage or a smaller Ssd? Where can you draw the line? When does the amount of storage go from beneficial to superfluous? I intend to stora large files and projects externally so all I want to know is how much free storage I need for AutoCAD to run smoothly. With smoothly I mean normally but without the penalty of having a too stuffed drive.
I have a 120 GB partition set up for Windows 10 and I run AutoCAD (three versions), Revit (two versions) and a variety of other software applications. I don't work a lot here and I am careful to move data to external or cloud storage. At any rate, performance seems to be fine with this configuration.
John is running a lot of stuff off of the 120. I'd say you could get away with 50 or 75. However there is zero benefit from partitioning a drive at this point in the game besides organization. You used to get a little speed boost once upon a time, but now drives are so much faster and the same with CPUs that there is no gain in speed. If you want to stay organized just leave all the windows stuff where it is and just make a folder called "Drive f:" or whatever to make believe you have partitions and put whatever you wanted to put on a separate partition in there. If anything you will lose speed when your CPU has to use things off of two different partitions. The only time I can see a partition being beneficial is if you are doing a dual boot with two different operating systems. That way it's easier to keep updates and installs straight. Maybe a partition would be good if you are sharing a partition with your office but not another. The same can be done with a folder just as easily though. One problem with making a partition is the same question you asked. How big do I make it. Once you decide you are kind of screwed if you want to make it bigger. There is no good way to do it and it's risky from last time I read about doing it, that you have a good chance of corrupting things on that partition.
I'm not sure the different ways you can customize apples, but what I did and suggest when I ordered my MSI windows laptop was this. I got 2 drives in it. A SSD 150 GB that I put all my software on to get the better speed. The second drive is a 1 tera drive that I put everything else on that just takes up space but doesn't really run like software (files, music, pictures, data, etc). Well really I have 4 drives. Three 50 GB SSD in raid that adds up to the 150 and the 1 tera 7200 rpm drive. Getting 2 smaller drives in raid is what will get you the access speeds.
