Welcome to Autodesk Forums!

Hi @Anonymous ,

>>>>I cannot access the Autocad files that I created with the former computer

Where did you save your documents?

Did you transfer them to the new Mac?

If you transferred them, you should be able to open them in the AutoCAD installed on the new Mac.

Problem is that I uninstalled AutoCAD LT 2019 for Mac after reading that that may be the reason and that it could be downloaded again. Now I cannot download it.
I have a new I max with a M1 chip

Hi Joe,

AutoCAD LT 2019 is not supported on M1 series chip:

You need to download newer version.
If you are on subscription you can download latest AutoCAD version from your Autodesk account page:

If you have educational licence, you can download new AutoCD version from your student account.
