Need Low Cost Autocad Replacement

Do you still have your old AutoCAD
If so you can get to work on Windows 10
The AutoCAD I have today is from 2000 and got to work on Windows 10

Can you explain how to do that? I have tried to get Acad 2000 to install on Win 7 and have had no luck. The 16 bit installer does not work at all on Win 7-64bit, and I've not been able to find a 32 bit installer that would work. I have tried manually installing it, with only partial success. Also trying ''run as'' has not been successful.

I second that.
 
Screenshot  VB.png VirtualBox by Oracle down load at http://www.virtualbox.org

This work as a operating system inside windows 10 or 8
You will need to install XP inside the VirtualBox
Then install AutoCAD
I use flash drive to move files back and forth

The other way is to buy a 32 bit installer
I like price of the Virtual Box and works with all 16 and 32 bit programs

A great deal of software that won't run on Win7 will run on Win8.1 or Win10.
I ran win8 since beta, and I really liked it on my desktop - extremely fast and stable.
Been running Win10 for a while now, and so far I am not too thrilled with it. Not near as fast and stable as Win8.1.
All my antique software that would not run on Win7 runs on Win10 though, including oddball things like some old games from the 90's.

Best bet is to just try and install it and see what it does. If it fails, use virtual box.
 
I just installed Autodesk Fusion 360 and the install / registration was very easy. I clicked around for a few minutes and it seems pretty good.. considering it's free 3D/2D CAD. Works on my Mac as well! This is very exciting.
 
Before the holidays I made a little hammer keychain for someone and spent a lot of time drawing it in AutoCAD 2002 Lite. The head is brass and the handle is stainless steel. I just drew it up in Fusion 360. Would have been nice to have drawn it in 3D before making it, definitely helps visualize the dimensions etc.

Another perk of the Fusion 360 that I discovered on the weekend is that is includes a basic stress analysis add-on. I am blown away that Autodesk lets people download this for free for hobby use. Even the yearly commercial subscription isn't very expensive.

I finally have AutoCAD2000 running on Win7 Pro, and NOT running in XPmode. I have a need to now use Win7 and above as my operating system, so today I decided it was going to work. I manually installed it (copied the files over from an XP install, including the registry entries) and then manually edited the registry to get it to work. Had to chase the errors down one at a time. But it works.
