[marcelaf.acevedo]

hey! I installed the AUTOCAD 2011 for MAC - student version on my macbook pro version 10.9.3 Mavericks. after installed i was using when the autocad closed, than i tryed to open again and appeared que message 'a software problem has caused Autocad to close unexpectedly'' and the error report details includes the following:
-operanting system name and version
-product name and version
-graphics configuration driver name and version
-applications that were loaded when the error occurred
-active command when the error occurred
I tryed to install another version but the same happened. What can I do to repair this error?

Thanks,

Hi Marcela,

AutoCAD 2011 for Mac is not compartible with Mac OS 10.9 (Mavericks), so you can not use it on your Mac.

You can use on Mavericks only AutoCAD 2013 (with SP2 applied just after you install application) and AutoCAD 2014 (out of the box - but I'd recommend you install SP1 and SP2 for it just after installation).

The best choice is AC 2014.

If you have troubles with starting AC 2014 on your Mac (not sure which version you have tried), than you may need to reset AutoCAD settings as described here:

Hi Maxim,
Problem solved!
I did all the process you'd recommended me and it worked as well (I installed the AC 2014 and the SP1 and SP2 after the installation).

Thank you!!

Hi Maxim,

I, too, have the same problem as Marcaela and use the student version, but I use 

Mac OS X Lion 10.7.5 (not Mavericks). I tried downloading 2014 initially, but there was an error as the software wasn't compatible with Lion. Can you help?

Thank you!

M.

Hi,
You need either to upgrade your OS at least to Mountain Lion or install 2013 version, which is compartible with Mac OS Lion.
