AutoCAD 2000 and Windows XP
AutoCAD 2000 and Windows XP
(OP)
Hello,
I'm new to this site and here's my first question.
I'm interested in installing Windows XP (not sure about which version) but I'm wondering if I will have problems with using AutoCAD 2000 and XP? I've read that some people have had problems and others have not. I know nothing about the compatibility wizard that some have refered to, but if that works, I'm tempted to give it a shot. Any comments or experiences out there?
TIA

If operating CAD is part of your employment, why waste your time getting it to run "half-assed," you can be more productive without XP.
In addition there are major security issues with XP, someone over the Internet can take total control of your machine, simillar to running "REMOTE CONTROL"

In the near future I might be putting on Eaglepoint's civil program--maybe I'll see something different.
I hope not.
RE: AutoCAD 2000 and Windows XP
And, is there any chance someone can beam me the "official" ACAD forum link. I can't find it.
Thanks again!
Have a great New Year!

Upgrade your cad version and it'll work well.

NOTES: The Pentium machine locked up during some of our tests using Word Perfect and AutoCAD in unison. At one point the machine became completely unusable and we where forced to reload.
We also found that AMD CPU's have an error in their AGP paging system that has been fixed within windows, but not Linux. I'll try to get you some more information on this if you use any Unix tools for drafting or engineering. This problem is CPU specific and only effects a certain lot of CPU's.

6 different viewports on the same layoutare showing different areas of a floor plan containing different colours of dense hatching. In order to dodge duplicating the model and making the file size huge, I'm trying to set up certain hatches shown through certain viewports... i don't know if its possible.... and I don't know how well I explained it.
please help.

Can't help with 1. but for 2. get a hold of acrobat reader from: www.adobe.com and install it on the computers where the files will be viewed from. This program will view the pdf format and print it. It is a free program.

We have a very old plotter HP Designjet 650C and we have installed drivers for the 2589B and 2588B but the 88B does not do it right and the 89B just simply will not work. Any suggestions?
Thanks
RE: AutoCAD 2000 and Windows XP
That's my 2 cents...
RE: AutoCAD 2000 and Windows XP
I am running Acad2000 on
XP pro (P4 3gig system), I used the compatability wizard and run Acad in 95/98 mode. Every thing is great except XP will not allow ,me to print A2 size on my CanonBJ330 printer.
I had no problems in the past on the old PC (466Pentium System)running WIn98 platform.
I am not suer wether its an issue with the printer and XP or Acad200 and XP.
I have a new printer on its way this week so I wil let everyone know.
In the mean time does anyone have any suggestions?
TIA
RE: AutoCAD 2000 and Windows XP
I run both ( XP Pro and Home) and as yet I havent done any extensive drawings on the XP Home but, as listed previously the XP Pro does have issues with the Canon A2 paper size.
ATM we have networked our old P300 running Me platform with the XP Pro on the new P4 system and we can print A2 without any problems from the old PC , so the printer issue is definately with XP pro and the Canon printer.
I will let everyone know how I get on when the new printer arrives.
