AutoCAD2010_32bit_mode on the 64bit machineon n a 32bit mode

Can I run Autocad 2010 32bit mode on a machine x64? With windows 7 x64?

Hi,

by default no, why do you need it, what advantages do you have (except of limited memory ;( when running it in 32bit mode )?

You may search for Longbow converter, I can't tell you if that is allowed to be used (Autodesk does not give answers to that) as it modifies some parts of the installation, but there are also reports to be found that sounds like it's working well.

Do you just need access to the 64bit installer because you did not grab it when it was available?

Hi Alfred

I've an application that doesn't run with Autocad x64. Only in Autocad x32 mode. It's the Bentley InRoads!

I receive a new machine x64 and I need to run this InRoads with Autocad.

Thanks

Hi.

Can you be more explicit?

Thanks

You could look into virtual pc options, and running your 32bit 2010 in XP Mode.  You would need tio be running at least Win7 Professional rather than Home edition.

Sounds like you either need to explore the first reply to your post (using a third party tool to modify AutoCAD's installation parameters), or ask your IT to downgrade you to Win7 32bit.
There are no other viable choices if your add-on requires a 32bit OS: did you and your I.T. not discuss this before a new PC was purchased for you? You need to involve them my friend, both options require their help.

Hello

You could use also a VMWare with Win Seven 32b or Win XP Pro 32b

and install into your VMWare your ACAD 201X 32b ... then your addon software ...

Bye, Pat
