Autocad 2007 Portable Windows 7 23
Sanora Ngueyn
so far this hasnt been an issue until randomly this week i havent changed anything and yet somehow my open windows layout has changed. i want it to open multiple windows on the taskbar. not tabs or internal windows where i have to minimize inside of autocad i want to be able to switch by clicking the other window similar to the two windows shown in the attached picture.
No you forgot. SDI needs to be set to 1 for what you want so AutoCAD only opens 1 dwg and no more. Something must be turning this setting back to 0 which you don't want. Time to investigate what might be doing this.
I guess I'll have to finally upgrade to LT 2015/16 as my ancient LT 98 will not install on Windows 10 Pro. It last ran on XP Pro which I still have on my other laptop. Any one know any way to run the old programs under Windows 10? I've tried the XP emulation but it doesn't work for LT 98. Thanks.
Thanks for the tip but that only works for 32-bit programs to run on 64-bit systems. LT 98 is a 16-bit program (I told you it was ancient and was first made to run on Windows 98!) and works perefectly under XP Pro which still had a 16-bit compatibility emulation. I'll just have to bite the bullet and buy a new LT.
I tried the compatibility mode in my Windows 10 Pro 64-bit but it will not work and I'm not about to buy another version of Windows 10 (32-bit). I did contact Longbow Software and Lex Steel said that their Converter should work for this on Windows 10 so thanks to Darren P. in the post above for that tip. Here's a link to the Longbow site with the info on this... -autocad-lt98-on-windows-7-and-windows-8/
I decided that if I'm going to have to buy a new program, I might as well buy one that will work in my 64-bit Windows 10 environment right out of the box. I researched a lot of different programs and ended up buying TurboCAD Deluxe 2D/3D v21 which has 64-bit compatibility and also does way more for the money than AutoCAD LT 2013 and several others. I can still use my AutoCAD LT98 on my old laptop and the results are compatible with TurboCAD Deluxe 2D/3D v21 on my new laptop so I'm very happy with my choice... ;
I have AutoCAD LT98 running on Window 10 Pro 64 bit (version 1903) in Windows 98 compatibility mode. I used a 32 bit installer I found on the internet. I had to copy some files from an old windows XP computer with AutoCAD LT98 running on it. It seems to run flawlessly with an occasional crash when opening a file. I did this for a friend. I personally have newer versions of AutoCAD. I found the information to do this by searching the internet.
I remember that I also had to copy some file from an old Windows XP computer with These programs running sucessfully on them. Without that I couldn't get it to run. Its been about 6 months since I did it so I don't remember all the details but the AutoCAD LT98 and 2000 are running today. I am sure you can figure it out.
I remember I had to go to the old XP computer where AutoCAD LT98 was running successfully and copy all the files in "C:\Program Files\Common Files\Autodesk shared" to the Windows 10 Pro directory "C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Autodesk shared" on the new computer. This is where the missing DLLs are.
I evaluated TurboCAD Deluxe 2D/3D v? and found it could not do what I needed to do that I do so easily with AutoCad 2000 and LT2002 which is to attach raster files, draw over them with polylines of specific thickness and output to a jpg or png file with specific lineweights.
I actually own 2 copies of AutoCAD LT98. One I bought and one Autodesk gave me because I found and reported an error in AutoCAD LT98. The one they gave me has the error corrected. I don't us them because AutoCAD LT2002 is so much better. Check to see if our copy of LT98 inserts blocks accurately to a snap point.
Autodesk ended the reauthorizing of 2010 and older software (that includes LT98) as of August 31 2019, read all about it here -explore/caas/simplecontent/content/previous-ver...
Sorry, you missed the deadline. There is nothing you can do about it today.
If you find Autodesk software subscriptions too expensive, there are many other CAD packages out there with no subscription options (initial cost may still be comparably high) that you can go get and use.
Hi, I'm using AutoCAD 2016 on Windows 10. I'm having a problem whereby new drawings open in different windows (see image "Actual Configuration"), but I'd like them to open in different tabs (see image "Desired Configuration").
What I found is that I do not have to set the taskbar or the SDI. All I do is click on the windows logo in the bottom right hand side select all programs, Select AutoCAD folder and select the AutoCAD application and this launches a new instant of AutoCAD. All I have to do is open the file within that Instant. If I want another instant I repeat the steps above. I don't go through the File Explorer other wise it will open in the opened AutoCAD.
He normally has multiple files open at the same time, and views them at the same time by making the windows smaller and dragging them into position. When he is doing this, it looks like there are multiple windows open in the background, see image attached.
He also has 2 monitors, and drags the windows onto the other screen to help view more than one at the same time. Since the problem above occurred, he can only seem to use the one screen, which is the one with the main CAD window open on.
Yes assumed a graphics issue as well, tried updating the driver automatically via Control Panel > Display > Change display settings > Advanced settings > Adapter > Properties > Driver > Update Driver..., and also by manually downloading the drivers but didn't make a difference.
In the recommendations link provided, selected Graphics Hardware, AutoCAD, AutoCAD Design Suite, Windows 7 64-bit, HP. However earliest Product or Suite Release is 2013, and 2011 is not selectable, and either can't see a definition of a Suite Edition (Standard/Premium/Ultimate) or there was no difference in 2011.
Nothing in particular seems to have happened between it working and this happening, only thing can assume is Windows Updates. He is rarely at his desk using his PC (sometimes weeks apart), and isn't technical so wouldn't have done anything himself.
I am awfully sorry @Anonymous, in deed AutoCAD 2011 is officially not supported anymore - so the missing entry in the recommended Hardware is justified. So, if the last thing happening to this computer was a windows update I suggest you run a repair or fresh installation of AutoCAD.
I just read a recent post where someone asked if it is possible to change the interface for AutoCAD Mac to look more similar to that of AutoCAD windows, and it was replied to that that is not possible. My question is simliar but not completely the same; I am taking an AutoCAD class and will be using it reguarly in my major discipline. Part of the reason I even bought a new Macbook Pro was because of the new support for Mac across the programs required by my University's college. Now that I'm starting AutoCAD, I'm being told that I'll be required to purchase Bootcamp or Parallels, and use the windows version, rather than the mac version. My questions are:
1. How different from the windows version is the Mac version? My teacher replied with the statement "I will be teaching the Windows version, so you will be required to use that." Are they exceptionally different from each other? Even if they are, will it be possible for me to figure things out? I have moderate experience with AutoCAD 2010 for Windows.
3. The above questions are not possible to do. For anyone with a similar experience, what is the best way to run a windows based program on a Mac? I am looking for optimum efficiency and lowest price.
So you have to pay for Windows (in both cases) and for one of the visualization software (except Virtual Box). If you are student - I think you can have some discount for Parallels (and maybe for VMware).
BTW: you can install Windows on Bootcamp, then install visualization soft (of your choice) and run Windows installed on Bootcamp from Mac side with the help of this visualization software, at the same time you leave an opportunity to restart from Bootcamp, if you need "fantastic" performance :))
If the teacher of the class replied you are required to use Windows, he or she is a poor teacher, and likely to be more interested in teaching his or her way of using AutoCad, not helping you learn what you need to do to accomplish your goals. You need to understand that there is no one way to work in AutoCad. I have never met two people who use it the same way. AutoCad is a powerfull tool that does many things. You will find as you develop your own tools and methods to do what you need to do, that you are only using certain parts of the program.
The real question is what kind of student are you. If you are facile with computers and learn quickly, you will have no problems interpolating information to the Mac environment. The interfaces look different, but the commands are the same. Get a book on AutoCad for the Mac, as you have questions, you can look them up. Don't be afraid of this program, just start using it the way you will be using it for work. I hope this is helpful.
Thank you both for your replies! I researched the programs and I honestly do not want to partition my hard drive, as I only have 256 GB of hard drive space. Is this a huge amount? Yes, but I don't want to split it up at this point. Plus, I'd much rather download the program designed for my Mac. I brought my PC and my Macbook, and will download both versions on both computers, and bring my PC with me to class to learn. I totally agree though, it is somewhat rediculous that the teacher won't make exceptions for students with Macs, as Macs are now close to either 1/5 or 1/4 of the laptop marketshare (?). The teacher isn't even a teacher, he's a teachers assistant, so possiliby that explains his lack of flexibility.
