Inside autocadLT disk |
|
|
I purchased a copy of "Inside AutocadLT for windows" copyright 1994, by
Boersma et al, through Amazon books. Alas it arrived without the "included
disk". I contacted the seller but he's one of those get em at a garage sale
and sell em guys. I kept the book but would still like to have the disk.
Anyone out there have one they'd be willing to part with?
Thanks in advance:

For a 1994 copyright I'd assume LT 95. I'll refrain from comment on |
using a program that's 7 versions old...

It is a VERY old version of AutocadLT, maybe the very first. I don't know.
(The "help" content in the LT program says copyright 1982-93) I use it for
planning kitchen cabinets. It serves the purpose quite well. The question
was not about the version of ACLT I'm using, it was about the disk which
didn't come with an after market book which is appropriate to the version
I'm using. This ain't no big thing. Just taking a longshot at whether
someone out there might possess that disk. Don't need to go out and spend
hundreds so I can have the latest and greatest when what I have serves my
limited purpose quite well.
Again, anyone out there have such an animal?

I understand keeping older software that meets your needs -- we have
later versions but still use 2002 for most things because we like the
interface better. My comment was intended to point to drawing format
incompatibilities and problems running older software on newer operating
systems. No offense intended.

None taken. After reading my response to your post, I realize that it
appeared that I was being a little defensive. I apologize for that. Just
as an FYI... that old version of ACLT seems to be working just fine on WinXP
(home edition). Your point is well taken. Thanks.

Yes, drawing technology has changed so much that an older version would
barely work. Just think about those drawing boards some people still have
around. Those things must be totally non functional.

It's worse than you think! Why, just the other day I was trying to sketch a
plan with a pencil and paper...a message flashed onto the paper saying "The
method you are attempting to use has been declared obsolete!! Don't ever
try that again!"
