Advancements From 2007 to 2011
Advancements From 2007 to 2011
(OP)
Greetings all.
I have (2) questions.
1) Is SW2011 much different from the SW2007 Office product?
2) What potential problems would I run into installing SW2007 on a newer machine with a Quad Core and 64 bit Windows 7 OS?
Thanks in advance.

2) None, providing a clean uninstall and install is performed.

1. The command manager is now a tabulated ribbon.
2. The "S" key now brings up quick access menu at your mouse cursor location.
3. Scoll bars are turned off (you can turn them back on).
4. Design tables are now accessable on the configuration tab of the propertymanager.
There are likely literally 100 major differences, so check out the What's New at Ricky's website (as mentioned by another commenter).
As far as trying to run SolidWorks 2007 on a 64-bit Win7 system. You should be able to in capability mode (a Win7 option). But know that you will still be limited to just 2GB of memory. If you have large assemblies, my recommendation is to upgrade.

So it sounds like SW2011 might be very similar to Inventor 2011? Any of you have experience with both?

Install for yourself and test drive to see which is right for you.
