Thanks.

I just went to update and prettify the last half dozen new drawings.

Panic city! My old but fully paid for expensive CAD program won’t open. Zero. Zip Nada.

That’s bad.

The good news is nothing else will open either, so it’s not the CAD program that’s the problem!!!

The bad news is it’s my copy of windoze 7 that is dead and corrupted. After several moves, I have no idea where the original disc is. It could be on the moon, or even less accessible, somewhere in the wilds of the garage...

I’ll figger something out, I think my CAD program will run on my old XP machine, assuming it still runs. The CAD program won’t run on anything newer than Win 7.

The devil....details....never mind.

You know full well I'm still interested. It's nice to learn that you're progressing. By the way, whenever I mention you to my wife, which happens occasionally, you're always "that guy on FR who wanted the NDA."

What kind of a CAD program are you using?
I experienced the same thing after moving to Windows 10.
