did you find a solution? i have the same problem and apparently nothing works for me

[#3]

Here are the directions I received from a tech support person

1. Open a terminal window.
2. cd "/Applications/Autodesk/

AutoCAD 2011/AutoCAD.app/Contents"
3. ./copyreg.sh  "/Applications/Autodesk/AutoCAD 2011/AutoCAD.app"

Note: The above assumes the default install location.

This did work for me, but I've had subsequent emails suggesting that they (autodesk) are

concerned that permission problems may persist. 

What these directions do is

run a script distributed as part of Autocad that sets upn things in your ~/Library directory.

Nobody has said, but I'm assuming that when this script is ordinarily run (on my machine and maybe

yours) it doesn't have the right permissions to create the necessary files.

I don't know if this is universal, but our machines are set up so that installing

applications in /Application requires sudo.  Perhaps this is related to the root cause.

Hi . I have try that but  I think I am not writhing it right. Dose cd stand for the command baton on the keyboard? Do I need to use  the " at the beginning and at the end? Do I press the enter key between  the first command and the second ? 

Can you tell me how to Wright it exactly? 

Thank you for your help.

Hi,

cd stands for Unix command "Change directory",

you have to open Terminal.app (in Utilities) and type exactly (with quotes):

first line

cd "/Applications/Autodesk/AutoCAD 2011/AutoCAD.app/Contents"      hit Return

second line

./copyreg.sh  "/Applications/Autodesk/AutoCAD 2011/AutoCAD.app"      hit Return

(don't miss point - first symbol in front of  /copyreg.sh)

Hi . No it didn't work for me any  other suggestions?

[#11]

Spaces in unix are handled differently in Mac OS X.  Normally, you can add quotes to define the full path. i.e.

cd '/Applications/Autodesk 2011/Autodesk.app/Contents' but sometimes, this will not work.

It is much better to run the following commands to get your Tool Sets to work:

cd /Applications/Autodesk\ 2011/AutoCAD.app/Contents

./copyreg.sh /Applications/Autodesk/AutoCAD\ 2011/AutoCAD.app

The space in the Finder is replaced with "\ ".  [Backslash + Space]
