AutoCAD LT 2017 for MAC-won't load an existing drawing, pinwheel starts

Anonymous — Mon, 19 Dec 2016 13:28:45 GMT

I downloaded AutoCAD LT for Mac trial version on my Mac Mini. When I try to open an existing drawing all I get is the pinwheel and the program locks up. I have to force quit the program.

Welcome to Autodesk Forums!

Does this happens with all your drawings?
If it hangs only with specific DWG file:
How big is it?
Where it was created? On Mac? On PC?
If you are aware of the drawing contents: Does it contains raster images attached?

It was created on a PC. It occurs with other similar drawing files.

Which AutoCAD version on PC?
Or maybe it was created in one of AutoCAD verticals?
Can you share this file?
