AUTOCAD to DEGeditor...
(OP)
Well I just switched from sw07 to sw07x64 because they got me a new computer and is running windows x64. I no longer have AUTOCAD on my computer and am now using the DWGeditor. All of the old CAD files on my network that I open in DWGeditor open with all of the fractions with two lines, the undo, undo's from some odd point of work. Kind of frustrating anybody know how to help?

Many of your current apps will run on the 64 bit machine, they will just not be optimized for the 64 bit operating system.

That seems a bit silly to me. They have the seats bought and paid for. They do not need to keep paying maintanance and can just stay on the last version of AutoCAD.
We use the DWGEditor as a translator for any newer version of AutoCAD we get from customers and need to open. AutoCAD is still a valuable software package for us. Some jobs just don't pay to transition to SolidWorks or the idiosyncrasies of DWGEditor.
I suppose if they keep AutoCAD on your computers management thinks the old dogs will keep using it as opposed to transitioning to SolidWorks. I can definately understand their thinking there.

If SWx is offering this free it should frustrate those that actually paid for ACAD....I would feel ripped off.

To answer part of your question on the dimension settings, go to SETTINGS/DIMENSIONS SETTINGS/UNITS and change the FORMAT from FRACTIONAL STACKED to FRACTIONAL. SAVE then Update the Dimensions. DIM>UP>ALL. You may need to teak the settings a bit more as well.
I am using DWGEditor SP2.0 and the Undos work ok.

I remember the learning curve for 3D parametric modeling in 1994....it was a vertical line. I would costantly fight with Pro/E's sketcher. I would have constant crashes with SDRC IDEAS drafting setup...I thought becoming proficient with 3D parametic modeling was near impossible. Then came along a SWx corp and they told the world 3D doesn't have to be a nightmare.

I can understand not EVER, EVER, EVER wanting to use AutoCAD or DWGEditor. I feel the same way...
Wish I could be more helpful on what settings you may need to change to get DWGEditor working better for you. I was never that good with the settings in AutoCAD, let alone DWGEditor.
Good luck in your transition.
