AutoCAD and 64-bit Architecture

On 64-bit machines, support for the 32-bit or 64-bit version of AutoCAD depends on the operating system. For instance, consider a 64-bit machine that lets you boot into either 32-bit or 64-bit Windows. If the machine is running 32-bit Windows, only the 32-bit version of AutoCAD is supported. Conversely, if the machine is running 64-bit Windows, only the 64-bit version of AutoCAD is supported.

Note: AutoCAD does not support 32-bit compatibility on 64-bit Windows. You will have to run AutoCAD 64-bit on a 64-bit Windows operating system.
