There are currently some incompatibilities between AutoCAD 2011 for Mac and the Lion OS X. We're working on fixing them as quickly as possible, but in the meantime you may want to hold off on the upgrade.

Thanks for your patience -- we hope to have an update for you soon.
Crap......I didn't think to check this. I installed Lion Yesterday and today in class I wasnt able to print.....Boo.... Will there be a print patch or a general pacth this week?
The team is working as fast as they can to get the fix ready, but I can't say when it'll be available.
Well of coarse I did not find this until I had installed Lion. It worked fine unhtil I went to Print. Autocad Crashed, and I am unable to open it any more. I tried reloading Autocad for Mac, but that did not help.
I would have thought that Autocad would have sent an email to every Autocad For Mac userew telling everyone this information.
it's unbelievable. lion dp1 came out in february.
in dp1 autocad ran fine but a bunch of strange graphical glitches. since dp2 update (april) autocad crashed everytime i launched it.
it's july and autocad is still not working.
unbelievable.
AutoDesk.
Please just make a pacth to allow us to print PDF. I need to print! Please release an update ASAP!!! Lion was announced months ago and beta versions we given to devolopers. There should be no reason that Autodesk doesnt have an update to solve this issue.

Maybe these instructions will be helpful:

If you are like me, you were eager to try Lion and installed it over Snow Leopard, and didn't clone your SL install before installing Lion. And if you are like me, you hated Lion. Hopefully like me, you had Time Machine backing up your SL install all along.
After a bunch of research, I found very little concrete accurate advice as to how to revert to SL. But buried on a random web page somewhere was the exact info I needed. So here it is...
Remember to back up any files or folders you created after installing Lion, as these will be gone when you restore. Also remember that this will only work if you included system files in your Time Machine backups.
It's quite simple really. You boot into the Lion Restore partition (restart, hold Option, choose the Lion Restore partition to boot into). Choose restore. Scroll to the latest Snow Leopard date and select it. Hit next. Be prepared to wait several hours (I did it overnight). When you're done, you will be back where you started before installing Lyin.
A little side effect from Lion remains...the restore partition. Again, a bunch of research on how to get rid of it proved inaccurate. You may be able to boot into it for Time Machine maintenance...I don't know, I didn't try. I just wanted the 650Mb back.
After restoring, I rebooted and the Lion Restore partition was no longer hidden. It appeared on my desktop. It was then a simple matter of using disk utility to delete the partition, automatically merging the free space back to my SL install.
The only glitch I've encountered so far was that moving files to the trash resulted in a warning that they would be removed immediately. This was fixed with a terminal command which deletes the trash folder and rebuilds it. A restart and I was back in business. Sorry, I don't have the code handy.
I hate not having the latest and greatest offering from Apple, but in the case of Lyin, it may be the latest but... I don't see reverting to SL as a downgrade at all. "

Can You please give information when update will be available. blog post is 20 days old. thank you.
Hi, Is there any news about this??
I would like to know if this problem results only with autocad 2011 and Lion or if is it with autocad 2010 an Lion too?
I have autocad 2010 on my mac, and I'm thinking to switch leopard to lion... would it work? or i should wait?
Help!
autocad 2011 for Mac is not working on Lion.
there is no such a thing as autocad 2010 for mac. i suppose you have autocad 2010 for windows installed on a windows partition on your mac. so yes, you can install lion because it won't interfere with your bootcamp/windows partition
As noted by others, we would like an update from Autodesk regarding Lion. I did check my subscription site prior to upgrading and found no warning, so upgrades as soon as Lion was available.
All of my other programs are funtioning well and I love the improvements Lion provides (Mail etc). So I really do not want to revert back to SL. Unfortunately, waiting for an update is no longer an option, need to know if I should load a windows version autocad on my VM....again.
autodesk just released this blog entry about lion and autocad for mac: http://autodesk.blogs.com/between_the_lines/2011/07/autocad-for-mac-2011-update-beta-for-os-x-lion.h...
