Autocad R12 Dos Download
AUTOCAD 12 for DOS / WINDOWS 98 compatibility HELP NEEDED!! Im trying to run my AutoCAD 12 package on my Pentium 233 which has Win98 as its operating system. SHELL environment appears to be the problem. AUTOCAD is normally stable.
But if the SHELL / SH Command is used during a work session (to SHELL into DOS), a LOCKUP occurs upon Quitting or Ending a drawing session. Have tried CONFIG.SYS line SHELL=C: COMMAND.COM /e:1024 with/out the /p switch, pointing to the current Win98 Command.COM as well as pointing to other Command.COMs but I have not been able to find a way to retain use of the DOS C: Prompt when I close an AutoCAD session during which I used the SHELL Command. F8 key on BOOT into SAFEMODE DOS Prompt Only returns message: EMM386: Unrecoverable privileged operation error #1 press ENTER to reboot, just prior to lockup. I tried installing DEVICE=PHARLAP.386 in the Windows SYSTEM.INI file under 386Enh, and copying PHARLAP.386 into C: Windows?
I found the Win98 AutoCAD ICON Properties dialogue box for allowing ALTERNATE DOS BOOTING FILES, but I dont seem to have the magic key line? Is there a way to modify the ACAD.PGP external commands section to redefine the Memory Reserve? SHELL, 0,.OS Command:,4? Here's a message that was posted a few days ago, maybe it will help.

Does anyone still have there AutoCAD Release 12 for Windows disks (software)? I would like to install; or shall I say reinstall; Release12 for windows on an old computer, but one of my diskettes is damaged which leaves me two files short. Unfortunately, the damaged diskette (disk #2 'Executables-2') contains 'Acad.pt2' and 'Acadapp.exe' of which both are vital to getting AutoCAD to run. So, if anybody still has there original disks/files for AutoCAD Release12 please let me know if you can help me out.
My second option I guess would be to ask if anyone has these files: Acad.exe and Acadapp.exe for AutoCAD Release 12 for Windows. These would be files from a 'installed' program. Since 'Acad.pt2' is just the second half of what makes up 'Acad.exe' I could take someone's Acad.exe, dismantle it; and reassemble it using the my first part 'Acad.per'. This way my info: Name, Company, etc. Is preserved.
If you've ever used R13 you'll realize its more of an apology. Autodesk needed to apologize to everyone for R13.
Back in those days, I was somewhat younger and less.experienced.with Autodesk's products. I was also the cad admin at the company I was working for at the time. We were using R12 Windows and all the hype for 13's new features was bait I could not resist. I'd had a lot of success with the upgrades from releases 10 and 11 so I went in, sold the management on the upgrade and we ordered it before it was even released. I began to began to wonder what was going on when I got the first patch (on CD) before I even got the program CDs, and when the second patch was included in the box with the program I was really concerned.
Fortunately, I had presence of mind to only install a couple of machines to test. Even after installing both of the patches, the program was an absolute mess. You could hit 'ok' in a dialog box, it would disappear and then reappear in an endless loop. You could draw a 3' long line, pop a dimension on it and it would tell you that it was 2 7/8' or some such.
Draw a square that was 2 x 2, the dimensions would tell you that it was anything but 2 x 2. It was absolutely horrible.
Over the course of the next few months, I uninstalled everyone but me and put R12 back on. I got 3 more patches on CD and a couple via download (which in those days was almost as painful as fooling with floppies) and eventually got it working. Once I had an install that functioned correctly, I passed that out to everyone and then absolutely refused to do any other patches. Rohit name ringtone free download.
When my dealer called pushing 14, I said 'Oh hell no!' He asked why, and I said there was no way I was going through that again. As far as I was concerned, we had bought our last upgrade and that I was even looking for a different product. He jumped in his car the next day, drove the 200+ miles to my office, and brought me a copy of R14 and even offered to install it for me. Said i could use it for 30 days, and if I didn't like it or had any problems with it, he'd pay for the first copy of what ever I wanted to switch to. Fortunately for him, it was as good as promised so we bought 6 seats just to get 13 off the machines.
On a different subject, how many of you remember the Windows 'extension' for R11? The extension for R11? Wasn't that 'c2' or am I thinking of something else? I'm pretty sure I've got it back at the office. I don't really remember what it was called. Looked like someone had force fit a Windows 3.1 interface onto a dos program.
It was horribly slow, even when just typing in commands. We were running the best 386's money could buy in those days, as I recall I had a whopping 8mb of ram, and a 15' color vga monitor. Man, I was cooking, but even on that speed demon, you could easily type faster than the interface would respond. It was so bad that you could type 'open' and it would appear one letter at a time about a second apart. We messed with that for about 3 days, and scrapped it. Fortunately, it was a demo version that we didn't have to pay for. By then, I'd figured out how to write '.pif' files (the youngsters will have no idea what that is.hehe) so we'd run the regular release 11 and the dos version of 12 in a window.
Pop it up full screen when we really needed to concentrate on something, but that gave us the ability to be able to toggle back and forth from the drawings to the software we used to route parts through the shop and not have to have paper drawings on the desk. The biggest reason for that was that there were 7 of us in the office, and we had one serial pen plotter (which I have here at home now, poor useless dinosaur). We avoided plotting as much as possible.
