About to update to OSX 10.9 Mavericks and wanting to make sure my AutoCAD 2012 for Mac will still work. Any thoughts?
AutoDesk told me today that they have nothing for 2011, 2012, or 2013 for compatability support for Mevericks. They said only 2014 will support it. They want us to pay $835 more than the PC upgrade as well for the upgrade on Mac platform. Bend over. Someone in their mohogany row must have told them Mac users like spending more, so they will...
Unreal.

Hi,
Can not say anything certain, but it seems that 2012 wouldn’t get update to run on Mavericks, not sure really – maybe I’m not right....
Somebody from Autodesk?

Really dissappointed in AutoDesk for their obsolescence approach to the Mac platform. AutoDesk used to support versions for several years backward, with notice of intent to stop providing support. I purchased AutoCad LT 2012 less than two years ago, and now it is completely obsolete? Really? What kind of company abandons their user base like this?
Adobe Illustrator, by the way, can open files and work in them all the way back to Illustrator 3, about twenty years ago. Its not a technology issue. Its a marketing and sales issue. Autodesk, if you rake us over the coals too many times, we'll go somewhere else.
I have Autocad for Mac 2012 installed on a MBP 2011. I upgraded to Mavericks, and so far so good running Autocad 2012 (with the same bugs as before). I would like to try Autocad for Mac 2014. Can I install that and still keep 2012 installed?
ACAD 2012 won't run on OS10.9MAV. I wish I knew prior to upgrading for 2014 Sketchup. Now I'm screwed on the ACAD 2012! Ughh. And of course no fix from AUTOdesk. I hate hate hate AUTODESK!!!
