Is there a clever person out there who can help.

My ancient Autocad has a personalization floppy disk with the CD software.

It's worked forever on my old machine, but my new computer doesn't have a floppy drive.

I thought I could transfer the info via a flash drive or such, but it's not happening.

I then tried to copy the whole programme from my old C drive, but it seems to need extra .dll files so that doesn't work.

NFI what that's about.

Get a new version of AutoCad.

It will be easier.

I also have Acad 14 and 2000. The old release 12 is so much faster than the "new" stuff it's not funny. A bit like Microsoft, the more options it offers, the slower it runs and one thing I can't stand is slow Acad.

But after speaking to a computer expert, it looks like she's had it.

He was amazed my floppy info had even lasted this long.

r14 and 2000 are old.

current release is 2010.

I am using 2008 and have used 2009.

Unless you are running it on a PC that still has a floppy drive I would suggest that any version 2006 or later would be faster.

      6.3-8.3nm....pretty damn light those fine m6 threads in the aluminium retainer plate are very easy to strip

      What are the torque specs for those 6 bolts on the retainer plate and 4 oil pan bolts? I'm currently tackling this job during an auto to manual conversion... I thought this would a 5 minute job!

      Forged piston skirt coating or no coating?

      By Desean Strickland · Posted

      Tryna decide if I should get a skirt coating on my cp 2618 forged pistons that im about to order. Anyone have first hand experience with a forged RB with coated or non coated piston skirts? Is it worth it and does it make much difference? And for people who went with 2618 pistons with no skirt coating how long has your engine lasted? The engine is an rb25/30 and main concern is  that It will be a daily car and will probably see a fair bit of short distance driving, have been told by my machine shop and my tuner that generally a forged engine lasts around 40,000kms before needing a rebuild. Would a skirt coating make much of a difference? cheers

      Can anyone shed some insight on this Turbo?

      From now on read it as minus 5 and minus 7 instead of dash, and you're correct...

      R32 GTR fuel gauge not working despite fixing fuel level sender

      By XoRoKu · Posted

      Opened up the cluster to inspect the gauge itself for signs of damage and it looks good. Got curious since that needle doesn't go back to a "neutral" position by itself (it stays in the same position when ignition is off. so I manually moved it to 1/2. Connected it back, turned on the ignition and the needle started moving up! Not sure what's up with that but before that the needle was way down below empty like fully south west. There's always a chance that the needle moved slightly the first time I tried and I didn't notice because of how slowly it moves and how far it was from the markings. I don't know if the current needle position is accurate so I'll fill it up and see where that brings it. I guess I'll try to adjust it manually if it doesn't get to F. Looks like the needle position is relative and not absolute? Thanks all for your help and patience!
