frank_car Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 Can anyone help me with installing autocad 2006 on win7 64-bit? I'm having trouble to install it on my wife's laptop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReMark Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 (edited) What version of Win7? Is it the Home Edition? Note that AutoCAD 2006 would be compatible with Windows XP mode. Another option would be to buy a separate piece of software called Longbow.

frank_car Posted February 7, 2013 Author Share Posted February 7, 2013 Thanks, but I checked for longbow and it's not free. Is there any simple cad software for free. My wife used to use autocad, so I will have to find some simple alternative cause she has no time to learn new software. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiger Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 Take a look at Draftsight, it's a free autocad-clone that I have found to work very similar to AutoCAD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReMark Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 frank: You asked for help installing 2006 on your wife's computer. I gave you two options. The first IS free (from Microsoft) while Longbow, an entirely different program, is not. Had I known you were looking for free, simple, CAD software I would have made other suggestions. I concur with Tiger re: Draftsight. It is offered as a free download from the dessault systemes website. While you are there you should also download the free Draftsight Guide in PDF form. It consists of well over 100 pages. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I use Draftsight here at home. It's a great free 2D CAD program. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
