AutoCAD - Determine if its 32 Bit or 64 Bit.

RockyBrown4134 — Wed, 26 Jun 2024 13:48:15 GMT

I have an odd question that was asked to me by one of our IT technicians.

Is there a way to check if AutoCAD is a 32-bit or 64-bit installation?

I know that somewhere around 2020 version, Autodesk Products could only be installed on machines that had Microsoft OS installed at 64 bit. I know one can verify the OS if it is 32 bit or 64 bit. But can you verify if AutoCAD is 32 bit or 64 bit? the only way I know of is looking at the system requirements on the Autodesk website for that particular version. I'm not really concerned if there is a way to verify or not, but it would be cool to know. I just wanted to see if there was a logical answer to feed the curious.

Thanks.

In AutoCAD enter at the command line:

Platform

if the response shows (x64) then its 64bit AutoCAD version

Why not just look at your software requirements in the program's HELP or online? curious why are they not doing that too?
