You may have recently purchased a new computer with Windows 10 or upgraded to TOTAL, and noticed that the Apex IV 2.0 or Apex IV 3.0 that you bought through a la mode back in 2005 or earlier is no longer available. There have been multiple new versions of Windows in the last few years, and Apex IV 2.0 and 3.0 are simply incompatible with the newer versions of Windows.
The quickest and easiest way to get back up and running on your new computer is to use TOTAL Sketch — it's built into TOTAL, and best of all, it's free!
To get started using TOTAL Sketch with TOTAL:
TOTAL Sketch is already the default sketcher in TOTAL. To verify you're using TOTAL Sketch, open the Sketch PowerView, then click the Sketch with… button. If TOTAL Sketch by a la mode is selected, you're already set — just click New Sketch or Edit Sketch to get started.
