AutoCAD for Mac

[#1]

Hello,

Cannot open the program. It happened after I was backing up files on an external hard drive. I got message that Autocrat could not continue, asked if I wanted to save the files for recovery ( I opted not too ), and will not open. I get the error report that "a software problem has caused AutoCad to close unexpectedly." It was working fine up until this point.

I sent the report. I have Mac OS X 10.7.3 

I read that there is a conflict with some Adobe software which I have but cannot find the way to get rid of the FLEXnet folder. 

Any one out there with a solution?

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

I think it is not FLEXnet issue in your case, but rather this one:

AutoCAD will not launch following a crash on Mac OS X (Lion)

Have you tried this solution?

Still doesn't work. Should there be spaces between words and slashes? Thanks daccordo

[#4]

cd ~/Library/Saved\ Application\ State

- spaces are between "Saved\" and "Application\" and between :Application\" and "State"

If it will not work, could you post Console output during AutoCAD launch?

Is there no space between cd and ~? I left no space the first time and got ...no such file or directory. With the space I get ? Saved Application State. Try to launch program, still doesn't open. daccordo

Yes, there is a space.

Have you run all three commands from the support topic?

cd ~/Library/Saved\ Application\ State

then

rm -rf com.autodesk.AutoCAD.savedState

then

rm -rf com.autodesk.autocadlt.savedState

After running the first you should have:

"name of your mac": Saved Application State "short user name"$

in my case it looks:

Maxim-Kanaev-2: Saved Application State max$

Yes, that's what I get. I close down the terminal and try to open but no luck

daccordo

How does one post Console output during AutoCAD launch? Have no idea what this does or means.

Thanks,

daccordo

Here's another thing... all my acad file icon, the silver A and red background, have changed to a illustratorish one with DWG in orange and a see through silver cube and the icon.

Hi,

Could it be this:

AutoCAD for Mac fails to launch when installed on migrated Mac hard drive
