Chuck... and others,
I figured that AD had purchased another software title for the SD and that is the reason it has not been configured for 64 bit yet. I also figured that AD would creating a 64 bit version of SD once their programmers had a chance to dig into the code. I'm not always a patient man.
My reseller is being really forthcoming and helpful and I appreciate it. I'm not a multi-seat company and thus not very profitable to the reseller. So, when you have the reseller business owner helping you because he understands the difficulties a small business owner goes through, it's pretty cool.
I don't know the software and need time to dig into it. Being that we have two seasons up here in Alaska... construction season and winter, I figured I could spend the winter learning the software. Or at least trying to. I have read and heard of some mixed reviews of the SD end of things and that does worry me, but only to the extent that I know all software titles from AD has bugs. Some more than others. Nature of the business. Shareholder profits. Again, I go back to the whole money thing making people weird.
I did have the misfortune of using a program called RebarCAD and it was seriously less than desirable and only 2D. I would much rather deal with AD. Back when I started using AC, release 12 for dos I got really enthused about the prospect of 3D. I thought... 3D means you could actually build it. Virtually of course. To me that seemed the logical thing to do. Nothing more embarrassing than to get a call from the folks in the filed going... uhhhhh.... I just sent my crew home because this isn't going to work.
Anyway. I sincerely appreciate all of the responses and info. You folks are always very helpful and equally important... respectful. Swamp folks are the best.
Thank You!
