Hi,
This looks like inconsistent behavior. Never seen this.
Does this happens in every drawing? Even in new one?
Did you have this issue just after installation?
Have you tried to reset application settings from Application tab of AutoCAD preferences?

Hi,

 

That is strange...

You want to say, that you can not "drive" crosshair inside AutoCAD drawing area with mouse without holding down left mouse button? Is it correct?

 

Which Mac model do you have?

What OS installed?

If system variable PICKDRAG=1, I can admit you may have difficulty with the selection of objects (you have to hold down the left mouse button to select objects in the drawing).

But draw objects with pressed left mouse button - it is really strange.

 

Do you have the same troubles with Trackpad on your Mac Book?

Which mouse do you have?

You have the same problem on another Mac?

Did I understand you correctly?

Do you have some third parity mouse software on your Macs?

Have you tried fresh install of Mac OS?
