Bob Cad question?

[cueman]

Is Bob Cad 21 compatible with Windows 10? If not what is the oldest version that is? They want a fortune for version 31 and it seems to be harder to use. We are rebuilding an older Bludworth machine and want to use a modern computer.

From what I can tell, it works if you use Win 10 32bit.

Kim, are you using Windows 10 with a 32 bit computer and running V21?

Thinking
It's not the computer that is 32-bit, it is the operating system Windows. Sort of like putting ethyl or regular gas in your car.

True, so true.

Hey Chris,
I don't use Bobcad myself but found this post on another forum I frequent.

Check posts 7 thru 11 in particular.
Hope this helps!

I went ahead and purchased bob cad 31. I hope it is not too big of a learning curve.
