Which version of AutoCAD works with Windows 7?

Here's how to do it...
  1. Right click the executable and click the Properties option.
  2. Select the Compatibility tab.
  3. Select the Run This Program in Compatibility Mode option.
  4. From the drop-down list, choose the operating system you ran before upgrading to Vista.
  5. If necessary, select the option to run the program as an administration.
  6. Click OK.
Note: Windows 95 was released in August, 1995 while Windows 98 was released in May, 1998. So my suggestion would be to choose Windows 98 as the operating system in step #4 above. Actually, Win98 SE was the best OS of that time period. Do not choose Win95.

You could try an open source software. Open source software is free to download and use while remaining completely legal to do so. Open source software is created by individuals or groups of individuals as their own projects and have active release cycles - which means they are updated on a regular basis.

Check out the related link below to Source Forge - a huge directly for open source software. There are several 3D modeling applications there for a variety of things - from objects to landscapes etc or a cumulation of all.

If you are looking for a place to download one of the mainstream Retail versions of a 3D modeling software, you will not find a link to any of those illegal sources - this is considered piracy.

How do you calculate the plimsoll load line of a boat?

the plimsoll line tells you when youve reached the loading limit on the ship(gross weight). Say its 20 000 tonnes, then youve displaced 20 000 tonnes of water (archemides principle). Where this equates to the water line on the hull

is the plimsoll line. Variation due to water density and temperature will also be taken into account

How to draw U Bolt in autocad?

If in 2D: Step1: Figure out what size pipe your 'U' bolt will encompass, then draw a circle with the same diameter as the pipe it will go around. From two opposite quadrants of the circle draw a line extending in the same direction (these will be the threaded portions - so you must know how long those are to be). Trim the unnecessary portion of the circle, and join all three segments using the PEDIT command. Step 2: Figure out the diameter of your bolt, and offset the joined line that distance. From there, you will have to draw the threaded portion (diagonal lines). If in 3D: Use Step 1 from the 2D process ... Step 2: Extrude a circle, the same diameter of your bolt along the path created by the polyline This will get you started - there can be many more steps, depending on how much detail you are trying to achieve. ~ M.
