Q: Does WireCAD Work on VISTA/Win7 64 bit?
A: Yes. WireCAD v6 will run as a native 64 bit application. It will address all 64bits.
 Note: There is one issue though and that is that WireCAD v6 on a 64bit machine will NOT be able to convert old v2-v5.1 projects. This is due to Microsoft not porting the JET engine to 64bit. As a result, all functions in the application will work, but you will not be able to read any of your old project or global databases.
