A warm welcome to 2012 from the team at Nova Design, let’s hope this year is a good one!

Judging by various discussion boards, we have noticed several people are getting ‘Error 1603′ when attempting to install AutoCAD 2012. The error states that the user must ‘install DirectX’ before the installation can commence. To solve this, you need to install DirectX End-User Runtimes (March 2009) from the Microsoft website, and then run the installation again.

Good luck, and enjoy AutoCAD 2012!

We would like to give a warm welcome to the latest addition to the Nova Design team, Kieran Duggal.

You can contact Kieran on 01384 405 977 or by email kieran.duggal@nova-design.co.uk.

We turn 23 years old today! We have been fortunate enough to enjoy great success from when we started back in 1988 and long may it continue.

We would like to take this opportunity to thank all who have placed business with us, and worked for us over the years.

On to the next 23 years!

Problems are being experienced with Windows 7 Service pack being installed automatically with Windows updates. These problems are not related to the service pack itself but with the way it is installing. The problem is being caused when it installs alongside other updates.

The solution is to either install the service pack manually by downloading it from the Microsoft website and installing it on its own. If you would prefer not to have the service pack installed yet, make sure you switch off Windows updates.

The service pack can be downloaded here.

We are proud to say that we have now been on Facebook & Twitter for over one year!  We are enjoying the interaction on the sites, and hope they have been informative with the information we provide on them.

We have a new vacancy for an experienced Autodesk Inventor user, with general mechanical design experience.  Visit our CAD Vacancies page to apply.

Happy New Year and welcome to 2011, hopefully this will be a great year for engineering, manufacturing and the world of work in general.  We hope to open and fill plenty more CAD vacancies during the year.
