Can't Print or save to PDF.

Anonymous — Wed, 19 Feb 2020 17:55:16 GMT

I recently install Autocad Mac Lt 2020 and I can't print or save to PDF. I already erased and reinstall all my printers with the latests drivers. I can't even see a preview of the print. I using a MacBook Pro 14,3 running Catalina 10.15.4 Beta.

Sugestions?

Beta OS are usually problematic and is most likely the root cause of your issue.

But there is a 2020 update you need to install regardless, go get it and see if it helps.

Hi Renato,

In order to save to PDF from AutoCAD you don't need any printers installed in "Printers & Scanners" pane of macOS System Preferences.
Are you able to save to PDF with standard "AutoCAD PDF" printers?
Have you installed latest update for AC LT 2020 for Mac? Here is the link to the Update:

Hi!

No, impossible to print with any printer (pdf or not).

It makes AutoCad crash.

The problem appeared since my MacBook Pro installed the 10.15.4 version.

10.15.4 is in Beta stage. AutoCAD is not supported on Beta versions of macOS.
