Compatibility with AutoCAD 2007

Compatibility with AutoCAD 2007

Compatibility with AutoCAD 2007

(OP)
My company recently upgraded computers in my departemnt.  Prior to this I was able to run Solidworks and a couple of sessions of AutoCad simultaneously with no problems.  Now, however, if I open AC, SW starts bugging out.  Somehow, the two programs are linked because there is a Solidworks menu in the AC file toolbar next to "Dimension", "Modify", etc.  Has anyone experienced a similar issue?  If so how did you correct it?

RE: Compatibility with AutoCAD 2007

As stated in the link by CBL, uninstall both, reinstall SW then ACAD.
Having ACAD then install SW screws up ACAD. I prefer to have only SW.

Thanks for the help.  I removed the acad.rx file from the ACAD support folder and have not had anymore issues.
