Unable to open Alias Studio 2018 on High Sierra

[viorela.satmarean]

Hi,

I cannot open Alias Studio on my late 2013 iMac with High Sierra. When I open the app, the system freeze, then it log off by itself and it send me back to my log in screen.

Unfortunately I can't make a screenshot because the system is not responsive. The best I could was to make a photo with my phone.

I have something like this before the system log off.

 open a terminal window and copy and paste this line into it...

cp ~/Desktop/AliasPrefs.scm /Applications/Autodesk/AliasDesign2018/AliasDesign.app/Contents/Resources/Comlib

As you are using Alias Design I've changed the path.

I think you mean this:

cp ~/Desktop/AliasPrefs.scm /Applications/Autodesk/AliasDesign2018/AliasDesign.app/Contents/Resources/Comlib/

with the slash at the end, since your command would fail since it's trying to write a file over a folder. Either way, the fix doesn't work for me when I make sure that AliasPrefs.scm doesn't have startup movies enabled and I've made an empty file for the other file you mentioned

Just installed 10.13.2 with OSX native drivers (I'm waiting for nvidia web ones). Same problem as before :(.

We have just released 2018 Update 4 which has a work around in it for the Mac hang.  Please give it a try and post your results.

YESSS. IT WORKS!!!! 

And it's super fast.

Thank you all. 

Wish you Happy Holidays and all the best!

Yesssss! It works!

Note: It didn't work until I switch back to the Mac OSX default driver from NVIDIA's web driver.

I'm running the student version of 2018.  Do you need to download the entire program, or is there an update only download?

Thanks!

Works for me!

[idjeff102]

Nevermind lol...i found the update file in my account.

And yes!!! The update worked for me too!

[bob55]

Alias 2018 Update 4 is an update based on Alias 2018 Update 3

For me it works with both drivers. I have 10.13.2 with 378.10.10.10.25.102 and it works flawless.

This workaround was successful on my MacBook Pro (15-inch, 2017) Radeon Pro 560 4 GB.

Thanks!!!

Are you also running a late 2013 macbook pro?

[simcarls]

Updated to 2018.5 now with my MacBook Pro (15-inch 2017) Radeon Pro 560 with High Sierra 10.13.3.

Still crashes for me after choosing any of Default, Modeling, Paint. It shows this error:

What could be wrong?

(At the choosing page it still says "evaluating license" in the left lower corner

Thank you for the information.

You have installed 2018.5 and still have this issue, right?

[simcarls]

Yes I installed 2018.5 and it still doesn't work

[simcarls]

I also tried switching user account as this page says: https://knowledge.autodesk.com/support/alias-products/troubleshooting/caas/sfdcarticles/sfdcarticles...

Does not work either 😞
