AutoCad 2024 LT crashes several times per day

pbje2S92L — Thu, 07 Dec 2023 19:04:11 GMT

My Autocad 2024 LT version for Mac crashes several times per day.

My current version is: LT 2024 1.1

Am I the only with crashing issues ?

Some text fonts also are very difficult to select and only can be selected or moved etc. when I give a regen command.

If I want to continue working for a day I better fall back to a previous installed version like 2022 or 2023.

I appreciate any way of help to solve this.

Thanks, Peter Bakker

Try setting GFXDX12 to 0

If that doesn't help run GRAPHICSCONFIG command & try changing the 2D Display Settings to one of the other modes.

Last option is to disable Hardware Acceleration

Thanks for your reply Paul.

I maybe mistaking but I am running Autocad for Mac and I do not think this will work for me.

Thanks, Peter Bakker

perhaps try the 3DCONFIG command:

Exact MacOS version is...?
Files are stored where? And you access that location how?
Are 2022 and 2023 also installed on the same device?

Hi @pbje2S92L ,

As @pendean asked - please specify your macOS version.

>>>>>My Autocad 2024 LT version for Mac crashes several times per day.

Does it crash under certain actions or randomly?

>>>>Some text fonts also are very difficult to select and only can be selected or moved etc. when I give a regen command.

Try to set DTTEXT System Variable to 0 (zero) and test text selection.

Hi Maxim, thanks for your reply.

My Mac OS version is Ventura 13.6.1

I still have to install Sonoma, but I wanted to wait until the next Sonoma update.

I never had these kind of crashes with the previous versions like 2022/2023.

I will try the system variable for true type fonts set to 0 and check if this helps.

Thanks, Peter Bakker

Forgot to mention that I am getting the impression that crashing happens randomly. But I will try to write down when this happens.

Workspace and Profile:
Create a new user profile or workspace to rule out corruption.
Fonts and Plugins:
Verify font compatibility and disable third-party plugins.
Check for Known Issues:

Hi @seosebt11 ,

Your recommendations are basically correct, with some exceptions:

1/ >>>>Update your graphics card drivers for compatibility.

There is no separate graphics card drivers updates on Mac. If they happen, then only as part of a macOS update.

2/>>>>Create a new user profile or workspace to rule out corruption.

You cannot create user profiles in AutoCAD for Mac, there is no such functionality on Mac.
