All preferences and custom toolbars have vanished!

Anonymous — Mon, 26 Sep 2016 20:47:45 GMT

So I power-up my Mac today, load Autocad, and all of my custom toolbars and preferences have been reset! I did nothing but shut down my system on Friday, returned to work today, Monday. Is there any way to go back to the way I had it so I can work efficiently?

Is there a way to make a profile to save all of these preferences in Autocad for Mac? I have not been able to find a "profile" like Autocad for Windows.

I'm getting tired of these little bugs and issues that take away from my work efficiency.

Thank you

Hi,

Looks like AutoCAD preferences were reseted for some reason.
If this was under application "control" than you maybe will be able to find .TGZ archive with your custom settings.
It should be inside
/Users/YOUR_USER_NAME/Library/Application Support/Autodesk folder and its name should looks like:
Settings Backup XX-XX-2016 XX.XX.XX.tgz
where XX-XX-2016 XX.XX.XX is the date and time when the settings were saved.
You can extract all customised preferences files from this archive and put them back to correct places. You need to quit AutoCAD before restoring settings.

>>>Is there a way to make a profile to save all of these preferences in Autocad for Mac?

No, there is no such functionality in AutoCAD for Mac, but all your settings are inside
"/Users/YOUR_USER_NAME/Library/Application Support/Autodesk/AutoCAD 2016/" folder, so you can make backup of this folder manually in order to be able to restore settings.
