Conflict between Solid Works and AutoCAD Mechanical

Conflict between Solid Works and AutoCAD Mechanical

Conflict between Solid Works and AutoCAD Mechanical

(OP)
Does anyone know if there is a conflict with having Solid Works and AutoCAD Mechanical on the same computer.  I had heard that there could be a problem with the dll files.  Any thoughts?

RE: Conflict between Solid Works and AutoCAD Mechanical

I don't have a specific answer, but I wouldn't be suprised if there is.

For example, we use Solid Edge and keep a copy of AutoCAD 14 on our computers for legacy data.  When we get to update our computers, we have to load SE first and then AutoCAD because of dll conflicts.

No one knows exactly why, including Solid Edge support.  But, they've seen enough cases of where the strange sporads dissappear when installing the software in this order.

RE: Conflict between Solid Works and AutoCAD Mechanical

We have a couple Workstations with both loaded for quite some time and haven't experienced any problems.
