muck Posted November 21, 2020 Share Posted November 21, 2020 What was the first version of 64 bit AutoCAD and did it run on Windows 7 & did it support VB.net programming? Could that version run on Windows 10 today? Thank you, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SLW210 Posted November 23, 2020 Share Posted November 23, 2020 IIRC, AutoCAD 2008 was 64-bit for XP and Vista. https://knowledge.autodesk.com/support/autocad/learn-explore/caas/sfdcarticles/sfdcarticles/System-requirements-for-AutoCAD-2008.html?st=system Some have reported success running older versions just fine on Windows 7 and Windows 10 YMMV. Pretty sure it supports VB.NET. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ammobake Posted November 23, 2020 Share Posted November 23, 2020 I used to run Autocad Architecture 2008 on an old 64 bit Vista machine and it seemed to work just fine. I once had an issue with hatches and 3d objects crashing the program but i later found out it was a DLL file that was somehow deleted/corrupted. Fortunately, the repair feature was able to fix it. But it did take me a few days to figure out exactly what was going on. But that's the only issue I ever had. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ammobake Posted November 23, 2020 Share Posted November 23, 2020 I'm not huge into the more technical/programming side of Autocad but from what I can tell online Autocad 2008 does play nice with VB.net. Using VB.net, You can apparently run VS2005 with Autocad2008 as well as kind of a pallete window inside of autocad. There was a long discussion about that here: https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/net/vb-net-2005-and-autocad-2008/td-p/2172298 -Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
