    installing Acad2002 & Acad2000i at the same time

    You are out of luck then. As I said the registry entries are in the same location and while concurrent installations are possible, running concurrent instances of the two applications at the same time is neigh impossible. Why so you need to work in both at the same time? While I know that...

    installing Acad2002 & Acad2000i at the same time

    I suspect that tluxon is mistaken or he is doing something that is a bit complicated and not explaining it. I would like to hear how you got this to work. I to have run into the inability to install 2000 and 2002 at the same time. This is because while the registry entries are all named the...

    Cannot select objects after complex object is created

    A large combination of cards, but the majority are ATI 8 Meg rage mobility and 4 Meg S3 ViREGE in Compaq laptops. The drivers are the OEM provided ones. I have not heard of any users with this problem in desktop machines, but our desktop user base is under 5 percent. The actual drivers for...

    AutoCAD 2000 on Windows XP

    OEM copies and upgrades of XP home apparently have horrible problems with installing 2000. The professional (both OEM and clean install) have had absolutly no problems installing both 2000 and 2000i on several different machines last month. Everything went smooth until we started installing it...

    HELP

    Could the walls have been an external reference that was moved or deleted after the drawing was shut down. Use the command XREF to open the external reference manager to see if any are listed there. If any are listed check the status column to see if they say "Not Found". If this is...

    Cannot select objects after complex object is created

    I am having problems that when a complex object is created in 2000 or 2000i the user is no longer able to select it. It has something to do with the Windows display driver that AutoCAD is using. I can select other objects on screen until a regeneration is called. This only happens at times...

    Converting Files from *.igs format to *.dwg

    I do not believe that 2002LT will support the import process for IGS. Xchangeworks will not work on LT at all from what I have seen. The add on IGES translator that I have used for 2000 from AutoDESK would not work for LT at all. This may still be the case for 2002LT. AutoDESK clams that the...

    Revision Cloud

    The way the revision cloud command works is that it stores the fist point you pick as a variable. Then it tracks where your mouse cursor is and when it gets to close to the first point it automatically closes the polyline arc. The trick is you can increase the fudge factor of the closure by...

    AutoCAD '00 File Size Limitations?

    I thought that it really only required 10 times the available swap space on the hard drive if you did not have the RAM. I have been working with 15 to 20 MB files with only 128MB RAM for my laptop and while its been slow writing the paging file I have had no problem. Check the virtual memory...
