Block Attribute Crashes LT 2012 on Mac Pro 3,1

[Anonymous]

Im running AC LT 2012 version #F.51.M.310 on a Mac Pro 3,1 and a MacBook Pro 6,2.  The Mac Pro 3,1 is not a supported machine.  I have no issues on the MBP 6,2.

It seems to run fine on the MP 3,1 except one very important issue.  When I open a block attribute editor Dialogue then cancel or save, it crashes AutoCAD.  If I use the Property Inspector instead it is fine.  Double clicking a block to edit its text attributes is a VERY hard habit to break.

Mac tends to fix things through updates in the App Store.

Is this the most up to date AC LT 2012? I have yet to find that version # listed anywhere.  

Is this an issue of just being an unsupported machine?  I have been searching for weeks to resolve/identify this problem to no avail.  If there is a thread on this already I would appreciate being pointed in the right direction.

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

Which version of Mac OS do you have on your Mac Pro 3.1?

MP 3,1: 10.9.1 Mavericks

MBP 6,2: 10.8.5 Mountain Lion

Something I forgot to mention is this is with all blocks.

Unfortunately AC LT 2012 for Mac can not run properly on Mavericks, and it
looks like there will be no updates to add compatibility with Mavericks.
Your problem with block attributes can not be solved with AC LT 2012 for
Mac running on Mavericks. And it is not depend on the fact you running
AutoCAD on Mac Pro 3,1 which in fact is compatible with AutoCAD for Mac in
spite of the fact that it is 2008 year product.

So the fix would be to run 10.8 Mountain lion?

The good.  I can keep this fantastic machine for another year or two.  The DDR2 ram is the only truely antiquated component of the system.

The bad.  RAM management is noticebly better in Mavericks.

Thanks for the lighting fast responses Maxim_K!!!

It just occured to me.  I can run a virtual machine of Mountain lion in Mavericks via VMWare.

Have you tried to run AC LT 2012 on a virtualized machine?
