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? Frank Reid Reid Engineering Services of...

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 ?? Frank Reid Reid Engineering Services of Utah

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. ?? Frank Reid Reid Engineering Services of Utah

Hi, I have used Draftsight for a few years but last year I moved to a different city and changed my computer. It is a Dell Optiplex 780 with a 22 inch monitor. It's running Windows 7 X64 and has 8gb of RAM and a 2TB hard drive. I now need the program again but it won't install from the .exe file...

Thanks, John. That is what I was looking for. Frank Reid Reid Engineering Services of Utah

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 looked on Amazon to see if...

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: DRWeig (Electrical)(OP)3 Oct 14 13:10 And finally, I got it solved on my own today. I ran through the Windows...

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. Frank Reid Reid Engineering Services of...

That was a good workaround. It worked great. I use different CAD programs and forget which does what. Thanks so much. Frank Reid Reid Engineering Services of Utah

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. Frank Reid Reid Engineering Services of Utah

Need to create a dimension that is shown but the extension lines are on another line, not precisely what I want. I need the command that will let me point the extension line to the right place then "jog over" a little to get it off the other line. Clear as mud? Need some help here. Frank Reid...

THANKS. THAT DID IT. Frank Reid Reid Engineering Services of Utah

I can't find the place to change the diameter dimension from a small arrow on the outside of a circle to one which also has a line going across to the other side. Frank Reid Reid Engineering Services of Utah

I tried that but no menu list shows when I right click it. But if I double click on it I get the Properties panel on the left of the screen. I typed that code into the Text Override box and that did it. Thanks for your help. Frank Frank Reid Reid Engineering Services of Utah

Thanks, Occupant. Now I need to know where to apply it. I selected the two lines and where do I input this code? Frank Reid Reid Engineering Services of Utah
