WaterCAD - Integration with AutoCAD

We just upgraded our WaterCAD license (which was a few years old) and got the latest release V8i release.  This added support for AutoCAD 2009, but according to the manual doesn't support any other versions of AutoCAD.  The previous versions of WaterCAD I'd worked with had been backwards compatible with at least a few AutoCAD releases.  Does anyone know if there is patch, workaround, or plans to readd integration with earlier releases?

  • Hello Russel,

    Our current policy is to certify new releases of WaterCAD (and other programs from the Haestad product line) with the current version of AutoCAD only. In this case, that would be 2009. This is done in order to focus our testing efforts and provide a more stable product.

    Since AutoCAD 2008 is similar to 2009, WaterCAD V8i does actually integrate with it, but the shortcut for "WaterCAD V8i for AutoCAD 2008" is located in the installation folder (C:\Program Files\Bentley\WaterCAD\ by default.) We did not fully test WaterCAD V8i with AutoCAD 2008, which is why the shortcut is slightly hidden and is also why we cannot guarantee that it will be 100% stable.
