Toolbars and Menus Missing in AutoCAD LT 2013 for Mac

I intalled AutoCAD LT 2013 for Mac and the Menu Bar (not a ribbon) and the Tool Bars are missing.  When it initiated all of the UI tools were missing, ei command line, status bar, layer, properties, references, etc.  I manually added those components through commands.  But, the Menu bar and Tool Bars are NO Where to be found.  Even when I type in "TOOL" nothing happens.  In addition, after using this for a week, I have crashed it 12 times usually in the middle of a command.  Hot grip use crashes it for example.  

 

Has anyone else encountered these problems?  Found a solution?

 

Thank you!

Angela

This alert indicates that "DWG to PDF.pc3" plotter was saved previously in the Page setup of the Layout you are trying to print, probably in AutoCAD for Windows.
In order to get rid of this alert you need to edit Page setup for the Layout you want to print in Page Setup Manager and save new plotter / printer name which is available on your Mac to this Page setup.

Alternatively you can create new printer on your Mac (using macOS System Preferences) with "DWG to PDF.pc3" name. See details here:

Thank you. I followed the Youtube like and that's got rid of the alert. My previous plot style settings don't seem to be available anymore. I used to have the option to select 'Monochrome RR' (my amended version) when I clicked print/edit page set up. It's no longer there. (See screen grab). Sorry, I know these are very probably basic questions!

You need to expand window with this button:Screen Shot 2017-07-21 at 14.00.34 2.png

 

 

 

Then you will see "Plot Style" selection dropdown list:2017-07-21_16-09-51.png

Of course! Thank you! I'm on a deadline and don't think I'm thinking straight! Do you know how I amend the A3 setting so that it doesn't cut the border off? (Someone else set this up for me previously and it seems to have got lost too). Thanks so much for your help.

Create Custom Paper size with zero margins and assign it to page setup:
