AutoCAD is a joke...
 

A shot in the dark but here goes:

AutoCAD 2002 runs fine in 2D. In 3D I get the same errors over and over and over...every two to three commands or so. It usually happens during the PAN command. Needless to say it's shooting my productivity straight to hell. mad:

The errors are:

FATAL ERROR: Unhandled Access Violation Writing 0x0007 Exception at 7800cb6ah

followed by:

The instruction at "0x5f401351" referenced memory at 0x00000004". The memory could not be "read". Click OK to terminate the application.

Autodesk ( oOo: ) has been less than worthless in helping me resolve this issue. They're pissed because their Mickey Mouse CAD program is going the way of the typewriter. I'm thinking it's a conflict between the video card and the heidi drivers but who the hell knows.

So if you can help me I'd appreciate it. You guys/gals are my last hope.

I happen to like autodesk. i hate autocad its good for advanced technical drawing but 3d sucks

This is the BS I'm dealing with here:
