Frequently Asked Questions

1. What is AutoCAD 2007?

Design, visualize, and document your ideas clearly and efficiently with AutoCAD® software. From conceptual design through drafting and detailing, AutoCAD 2007 enables you to explore ideas like never before. Create, edit, and develop design alternatives using realistic solids and surfaces in an updated design environment. Communicate your ideas with powerful sketch, shadow, and rendering tools, including intuitive walk-through animations. Then turn your concepts into a set of documents with the new section and flatten functionality. It’s all here, whether you’re creating, exploring, managing, or communicating, AutoCAD keeps you on time, on budget, and on track.

2. What are the main benefits of AutoCAD 2007?

The new conceptual design and visualization tools introduced in AutoCAD 2007 help you realize your ideas to sell your vision to a client, make presentations to a nontechnical audience, or even communicate your design intent to the shop floor.

Creating solids and surfaces has never been easier. You can quickly brainstorm any idea or concept whether you’re in architecture, mechanical design, engineering, process, aerospace, even science and education.

With the new AutoCAD 2007 visualization tools, you can quickly print your AutoCAD designs with a hand-drawn effect for your presentation. If a photorealistic image is required, use the new library of materials and lighting system to give your model a more realistic look. Even create simple walk-through animations to send to your client.

AutoCAD 2007 also has a new set of section cut tools so you can quickly convert your solid designs into 2D drawings for all your documentation work.

3. Has the AutoCAD 2007 DWG drawing file format changed from the AutoCAD 2004/2005/2006 products?

Yes, the AutoCAD 2007 DWG file format has been updated and is different from the 2004/2005/2006 DWG file format. This new format is also used in the latest releases of the Autodesk industry-specific products such as Autodesk® Architectural Desktop, Autodesk Map® 3D, Autodesk® Civil 3D®, AutoCAD® Electrical, and AutoCAD® Mechanical software applications. Nonetheless, you can still easily share files between design teams using any previous version of AutoCAD. As in the past, this version of AutoCAD opens DWG files created in earlier versions of any Autodesk product.

4. Do AutoCAD 2004/2005/2006 third-party applications work with AutoCAD 2007?

Some third-party add-on applications based on Visual LISP® and Microsoft® Visual Basic® for Applications (VBA) programming languages should be compatible with AutoCAD 2007. Third-party applications based on ActiveX® and ObjectARX® developer tools require upgrades to be compatible with AutoCAD 2007. There are numerous compatible applications available for AutoCAD 2007. Check with your application developer or supplier regarding availability of applications built for AutoCAD 2007.

5. Can I run AutoCAD 2007 side by side with other AutoCAD latform–based applications?

Yes, AutoCAD 2007 can be installed side by side with any other AutoCAD or Autodesk industry-specific solution—including AutoCAD 2007–based products. These products include AutoCAD Electrical, Autodesk Architectural Desktop, Autodesk Civil 3D, Autodesk Map 3D, Autodesk Inventor® Series, Autodesk Inventor® Professional, Autodesk® AutoCAD® Revit® Series, Autodesk® Revit® Structure, Autodesk® Building Systems, Autodesk® 3ds Max®, and AutoCAD LT® software.

6. Does AutoCAD 2007 use product activation for stand-alone licenses?

Yes, with AutoCAD 2007 the authorization process includes product activation.

Product activation is a software-based license management technology incorporated into many Autodesk products. It is a secure and trouble-free process that authenticates licensed users running Autodesk software. The process verifies that the serial number is legitimate and has not been activated on more computers than are eligible. It does not affect the ability of licensed users to operate their software the way they have always done. It is similar to the authorization mechanism in Autodesk products in the past but provides additional capabilities for security and special product versions (such as student and trial versions).

7. Does AutoCAD 2007 support 64-bit operating systems?

Not at this time. AutoCAD 2007 does not support 64-bit Windows. However, it does support running on an Intel EM64T processor using Window XP. AutoCAD 2007 runs as a 32-bit application on 64-bit processor in what Intel refers to as Legacy mode.
