Again, it's Windows 7 not Windows 10. I write and publish books and have other software that all runs perfectly. Why can't I install DraftSight without an error message?

Jayrod12,
As I mentioned in the first post:
My system is:
Dell Optiplex 780 with 8GB of RAM and a 2TB internal hard drive with
180TB free. It runs Windows 7 64bit. I expected it to install perfectly
but maybe it only works on Windows10 ??

Thanks Jayrod12 that seems to be the case with the error message. But with 8GB of RAM it shouldn't be a problem. I ran it for several years with 4GB RAM on the older machine. ??

Hi all. It's been a couple of years since I was here. Now I have a question for using Draftsight. I have used it before but now have forgotten.
I have brought in an image which I intend to draw over on another layer. The image is not to any scale and I want to scale it up for my needs. First I...
I'm a published author with ten books on Amazon. Three of them are Windows training guides. I have been looking into the idea of writing a DRM, Drafting Room Manual, a book in a three-ring binder that describes all the American standardized way of making drawings.

I Googled and saw this problem and a solution by Goober Dave. I wanted to share it here but that thread is closed. It was posted in Oct 2014. I copied it here for others to see:

I have used Autocad for many years and about 6-7 years ago I installed Draftsight also. I was using Windows XP at the time but have since moved to Windows 7 about four years ago. I continue to use Autocad 2008 but wanted to download and install Draftsight because it will run here and on my Linux...
After many years of doing 3D solid modeling, I still have some clients that want a 2D Isometric drawing. I'm very skilled at this but sometimes I need to change from Rectangular to Isometric Grid setting and back quickly. I have long used the GRID Settings at the bottom of my screen (ACAD 2008...
I didn't make myself clear. Maybe this attachment will show what I want. When the extension lines are close to another object but I want to move them away from it I would use a "jog" in the lines. Maybe I'm using the wrong word. Here is what I meant.

That was a good workaround. It worked great.
I use different CAD programs and forget which does what.
Thanks so much.

I'm using Autocad 2008 but can't remember how to set the hatch to ignore the dimension lines and notes arrow lines. Please give your answer in plain English, not a programmers list.
Thanks.
