Overview

There is a known issue, which occurs because PW Explorer V8i (SELECT series 3) is a 32-bit application and additional configuration is required for it to work correctly with a 64-bit AutoCAD 2010 or 2011 application.

ProjectWise Integration with 64-bit AutoCAD

Only ProjectWise V8i (SELECT series 3) is compatible with 64-bit version of AutoCAD.

To enable ProjectWise Explorer V8i (SELECTseries 3) to work with 64-bit versions of AutoCAD the following steps must be followed:

• First of all download the attached registry patch file ProjectWise.zip, which contains patches: 
  • For AutoCAD 2011 only: acad2011only.reg
  • For AutoCAD 2010 only: acad2010.reg
  • For AutoCAD 2010 & AutoCAD 2011: acad2011only.reg
• Extract the file and save the required .reg file to a location on the workstation
• Log into Windows with Administrator access rights
• For Windows 7 simply type regedit in the Search Programs and Files window
• From Registry Editor interface, click on File and then Import
• Browse to the applicable .reg saved locally, and press OK
• The contents of that .reg file will be now be entered into the registry

Note: The .reg files described above contain updates for AutoCAD installed into the default, out-of-the-box location. If your AutoCAD installation is to a non-default location, the contents of these .reg files must be edited to suit.
