His old computer was 32-bit. We have reinstalled his autocad but when we open the old drawing it won't open since they were saved as 32-bit. The only solution I have found from searching is the longbow converter but this costs about 300 dollars. I was hoping that someone might have a few suggestions.</P> Thu, 19 May 2016 14:05:31 GMT https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/autocad-forum/autocad-32-bit-files-won-t-open-on-a-64-bit-computer/m-p/6337788#M278607 Anonymous 2016-05-19T14:05:31Z https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/autocad-forum/autocad-32-bit-files-won-t-open-on-a-64-bit-computer/m-p/6337805#M278608 Never heard of this. There is no difference in the data files created with x86 AutoCAD vs. x64 AutoCAD. What is the exact error message?

You may be able to find a hack/workaround but you might want to consider obtaining a newer version of CAD software that will install and run on Win7x64.<BR /><BR /> Fri, 20 May 2016 13:07:25 GMT https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/autocad-forum/autocad-32-bit-files-won-t-open-on-a-64-bit-computer/m-p/6340118#M278613 rkmcswain 2016-05-20T13:07:25Z https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/autocad-forum/autocad-32-bit-files-won-t-open-on-a-64-bit-computer/m-p/6341068#M278614 Your client probably needs to pay these folks to get their old 32bit product to run old software on newer 64bit WIndows versions <A href="http://www.longbowsoftware.com" target="_blank">http://www.longbowsoftware.com</A> Fri, 20 May 2016 19:42:10 GMT https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/autocad-forum/autocad-32-bit-files-won-t-open-on-a-64-bit-computer/m-p/6341068#M278614 pendean 2016-05-20T19:42:10Z
