For use with an external monitor, the system text zoom/scale size, must be set to the same value for each display/monitor for 3D to render correctly. Windows 7 uses the same size for both monitors whereas Windows 10 allows each monitor to be set separately. UHD/4K has not been certified.

Windows 8.1 On 64-bit operating systems Windows 8 ® ArtiosCAD 18 is certified for use with Microsoft SQL Server 2014. Windows 7 ArtiosCAD Standard Edition installs Microsoft® SQL Server 2012 Express 64-bit Edition for new Windows installations. Server 2008 R2 Unsuppor A localized SQL Server express 2012 must be installed on the same localized operating ted system. Operating Systems For example: a German-language SQL Server 2012 must be installed on a German-language operating system. A German-language SQL Server 2012 cannot be installed on a French operating system. There are some exceptions to this rule: The English-language SQL Server 2012 can be installed on any localized OS. A localized SQL Server 2012 can be installed on an English OS, provided the MUI pack has been configured properly. See: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee210665.aspx for more details. On 32-bit operating systems For new installations on a 32-bit operating system, you will need to download SQL Server Express 2012 32-bit edition from the Microsoft website and manually install and configure your database before ArtiosCAD can be installed. The DBA must create an instance called Esko, set the sa password to the default password, create a case-insensitive database called ArtiosCADdb and an ODBC entry called ArtiosCAD pointing to the Esko instance. Before you start the installation of SQL Server 2012 on the database server, ensure that your operating system has been updated with the latest Windows service pack, and that it has all Windows Updates applied. During the installation process, SQL Server 2012 will connect to the Windows Update site and verify whether the operating system is up to date before it completes the installation. If the operating system is not up to date, this will result in a very long SQL Server 2012 installation time. ArtiosCAD also supports: Microsoft® SQL Server 2008, including 64-bit version Microsoft® SQL Server 2005, including 64-bit version Oracle® versions 9i or newer, including 12c. Unsupported Databases The following databases are not supported: Microsoft® SQL Server 7, 2000 and MSDE Microsoft® Access Oracle® 7.3.2, 8, and 8i Supported Operating Systems Recommended operating systems are highlighted in green in the tables below. If an operating system is not listed here, it is not supported. Do not try to install ArtiosCAD on a computer running an unsupported operating system.
