Retro_Link Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 I hope I'm not just talking nonsense here!? Basically I was going to install the free 64bit version of AutoCAD on my laptop... But then I realised, what if other computers are using the 32bit version of AutoCAD?... would the files not open? Is it just a better idea to install the 32bit version of AutoCAD on my 64bit laptop instead? Thank you N-E. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cube Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 Files will open in both versions. You wouldn't even be able to tell which version was used based on the file. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retro_Link Posted March 20, 2013 Author Share Posted March 20, 2013 (edited) Cheers man, 64bit version it is then. EDIT: Forget that, the 64bit version causes my laptops wireless connection to cut out! 32bit version it is!

MoogleViper Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 You should use the 32-bit version. I hear the 64-bit version cause the wireless connection to cut out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rummy Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 You should use the 32-bit version. I hear the 64-bit version cause the wireless connection to cut out. Why would you want it to do that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MoogleViper Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 Why would you want it to do that? You wouldn't, that's why I told him to use the 32-bit. Can you not read, Rummy? Sheesh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agent Gibbs Posted March 21, 2013 Share Posted March 21, 2013 you do realise once installed on your laptop its nigh on impossible to remove autocad? not that you'd want to i suppose, i discovered this when a student version expired so i attempted to uninstall it, which "appeared" to work then flash forward a few years and i tried to install it again and it kept saying there was a previous version, in the end i did my Uni work on a computer at work with a much better version of CAD. After goggling it i discovered its common for it to not fully uninstall and you have to manually delete files, else it hides on the system. I only thought of this as i thought you might encounter it if your removing 64bit to install 32bit, i've never had to modify a versions so don't know if it ends up the same as my above issues.
