What was the first version of 64 bit AutoCAD.

What was the first version of 64 bit AutoCAD and did it run on Windows 7 & did it support VB.net programming?

Could that version run on Windows 10 today? 

 

Thank you,

IIRC, AutoCAD 2008 was 64-bit for XP and Vista. https://knowledge.autodesk.com/support/autocad/learn-explore/caas/sfdcarticles/sfdcarticles/System-requirements-for-AutoCAD-2008.html?st=system

 

Some have reported success running older versions just fine on Windows 7 and Windows 10 YMMV.

 

Pretty sure it supports VB.NET.

I used to run Autocad Architecture 2008 on an old 64 bit Vista machine and it seemed to work just fine.

 

I once had an issue with hatches and 3d objects crashing the program but i later found out it was a DLL file that was somehow deleted/corrupted.  Fortunately, the repair feature was able to fix it.  But it did take me a few days to figure out exactly what was going on. 

 

But that's the only issue I ever had.

I'm not huge into the more technical/programming side of Autocad but from what I can tell online Autocad 2008 does play nice with VB.net.

 

Using VB.net, You can apparently run VS2005 with Autocad2008 as well as kind of a pallete window inside of autocad.

 

There was a long discussion about that here:
