    Almost 3 months since Lion came out and still no patch for AutoCAD 2011. I think the 2011 version was really just a beta test version and now that 2012 is out it will be forgotton and unsupported.

    Hello,

     

    You can now download Update 3 (which provides compatibility suport with Lion) from the Autodesk Product Support website.

    mhamon, I really hope not. 2012 seems to be far more stable than 2011, but 2011 should work without crashing constantly (including when the program is open, not doing anything, and I go elsewhere, come back and it crashed all on its own). :smileysad:

    AS mentioned above, the patch is out ... but!!!

    I applied the patch after appying updates 1 and 2.  I had applied those previously however Autocad 2011 kept shutting down without warning.

     

    After applying updates 1, 2 and 3 - Autocad 2011 for Mac STILL shuts down without warning.  So, I deleted Autcad and reinstalled as the out of the box versions - no patches.  It works without crashing.  Slow, but it works.

     

    In my opinion, Autodesk is really more about selling 2012 than supporting 2011.  Just saying!

    So, not to sound redundant, but I just installed AutoCad 2011 for Mac to my Lion OS Mac. It opened up, and even opened one file - then shut down. Now it won't start at all. Is there a fix coming? At all? I have installed both patches - and that doesn't make any difference.

    Hi,

     

    You should install all THREE Updates (Update3 solves problems on Lion OS)

    Not for me.  I have given up trying to run Autocad R11 with the patches and am still running OSX 10.6.8 instead of Lion.
