Impressions and windows 7

I dont know what the problem with windows 7 or the net framework SDK of windows7 but here are some problems i am facing.
I am using impressions 3
Windows7 build 7100 x64 Ultimate......ATI Raedon - HD4850, 2.2GHz core 2 duo, 2GB ram.

Issues:
1) Saving a file as native impression format.
2) Opening a file.
3) Importing an Autocad file.

What happens: Each time i try and do the above the file crashes and doesnt work....goes to the crash screen asking me to send a report to AUTODESK for errors. well i have done that few times already.
I installed impressions in a VISTA x64 ultimate system and worked my way easily without such errors and completed my work, saved the file as native impressions format as well as a pdf for prints later. Basciallly it was the issue of the net framework 3.5 sp1 fault that i dint work earlier on the friends PC. I installed the hotfixes as well as netframework SDK 3.5 SP1 on it and everything worked gr8.
But WINDOW7 is just not budging its way to work....tried reinstalling SDK....tried reinstalling Impressions.....tried to run it as a vista and XP but nothing.

Can AUTODESK please find a fix for this???

Figures Autodesk would not fix something that is not giving them any cash so they can keep on buying up the competition there by eliminating them and then come out with even bugger bloatware garbage every year and fix some of the bugs from the previous version and introduce new bugs in the new version. There should be some law preventing compaines from acquiring all the competition otherwise Autodesk may become another AIG that the country cannot afford to loose no matter how much crap the vomit into the public.
AutoChair, if you are listening. Stop introducing new versions every year and stop acquiring all your competition you are afraid of and fix what you got. Remeber people, AutoDesk did not even know what BIM was till it bought out Revit
NOW FIX IMPRESSION.

Hi Users,
i have a workaround, so you can work with Impression and Windows 7 (32 and 64 Bit)!

You have to delete the following file before!!! you open impression:
C:\Users\Username\AppData\Local\Autodesk\Impression\3.0\enu\Defaults.xml

Sometimes you have to delete the file Startup.cache (same directory) too!

The defaults.xml file will be replaced every time when you open a new file, so you have to delete it everytime ...

I hope Autodesk will analyse this xml file and will bring some fix (if they read this discussion ... ).

Hi lisianthus,

you (autocad) have some other problem! Nothing with impression! So you are wrong in this thread.

But I think your problem is the wrong autocad version (32 Bit oder 64 Bit). Do you know something about your windows 7? Is it 32 Bit or 64 Bit? This is really important!

I thought I would let everyone know that it seems autodesk has a beta hotfix out for impressions 3 that so far has worked for me. If anyone is interested I'm sure it would be worth trying. I can print save and import in impressions 3 with windows 7. Thanks Autodesk!!!

You can also fill out this survey at: http://vovici.com/wsb.dll/s/4580g4307b so that Autodesk can better understand how Impression is currently being used.

Thanks.

If you could give me your email address I can pass it along to the person in charge of the hotfix and get you a copy of the beta hotfix. This would require that you test it and report back to see if there are any problems.

We are having the same issues as above and have been using the work around to let us do the sketches but it's a pain in the bum not being able to save them. Could you please pass my email on daryl.carter@ausmarhomes.com.au for the hotfix aswell. We are dying to have full use of this program again. No problems at all to report back to get this working for everyone.

Thankyou GSARCH for passing my info on. I received a copy of the hotfix this-morning and all works perfectly now. If anyone else would like to help with the Beta, please send your email address to GSARCH to help things along. It seems that Autodesk is very keen to get this on the right path. Thanks again buddy.
