#Autocad 2003 install
Ok the next step AFTER ACTIVATION is to install some service packs and driver upgrades for autocad 2000. If not then refer to the troubleshooting section. If it opens it will ask you to activate it, do that and close it. Open wine-dors again and go to File->Reboot Wine.ĭouble-click the acad icon placed on your Desktop to fire up autocad for the first time. Last step for the installation is to restart wine so registry changes fall in place gracefully. A few clicks later and if everything went well you have autocad 2000 installed on your wine drive and a nice icon on the linux desktop. Here you can browse to and select c:\windows\notepad.exe if it’s not allready selected. Ok next stop is the select text editor screen. Other options cause trouble (see troubleshooting).
#Autocad 2003 serial number
If the installer doesn’t start or complains about the windows version and quits then refer to the troubleshooting section.Īt this point you should have your serial number and cd-key handy and go through the installation screens up to the point of choice of an installation type. Go to the folder where the installation files are (did someone say torrent or is it just my ears?) and right click on the SETUP.EXE and select to run it with wine windows emulator. Ok now with the prerequisites installed we can finally launch the acad installation. The Native Rich Text Editor Support 30 packageĬlick Apply and wait patiently for wine doors to download and install all of the above.The Microsoft Foundation Classes 4 package.Anything that looks like a font (Andale, Trebuchet, Tahoma etc).From this long list we will pick the following (one by one): The second screen will be a list of available applications to install in your wine installation. Be Patient! It will get on with it eventually. NOTE: During this time it may seem as it has crashed. Wine doors will connect to the internet and kindly install some basic packages to our wine installation. (maybe your auntie has one, does this count?).
#Autocad 2003 license
The first screen needs a name and asks if we have a valid windows license to which we reply “Yes, unfortunately we do” regardless of whether we do have one or not. Install the package and go to Applications->Wine->Wine doors. It’s called wine doors and you can get it here. Then to make things easy for us we will use a Graphical User Interface that helps us manage our wine installation. Go to System->Administration->Synaptic Package Manager and search and install wine (preferably using the up-to-date wine repositories) Installationįirst we need to install wine. If you mess up your wine drive you could lose other wine programs you have already worked hard to install. WARNING! If you have other programs running under wine do a backup of your /home//.wine folder before proceeding. That said lets get on with the howto but not without a big fat warning: From my personal experience 3d modelling in autocad SUCKS big time, especially for my line of duty which is architectural design. For 3d i suggest you head over to and get yourself a real 3d modelling application. If you also follow the tips and trics post, autocad 2000 will prove more than enough for at least 2d CAD work. Later versions of autocad might install with some similar way under wine but from my tests they do not work well and do crash A LOT. One thing to notice is that i am refering only to the autocad 2000 version, not 2000i, not 2002 just 2000. I have tested the method described here on my systems and it works.
#Autocad 2003 trial
I learned all these answers through trial and error and since i haven’t found any howtos for the process i decided to write one. It IS posible to have a fully functional autocad 2000 in linux running under wine. This was troubling me for a couple of years…
