Autocad 2011 for Mac - Missing commands

[Anonymous]

Several commands do not work in the AutoCAD 2011 for mac version. The shortcuts are on the CUI interface, but when you try these shortcuts or type the command, they don't work (message: unknown command).

Example (among others): 

_qselect  (Quick select)

_drawingrecovery (drawing recovery manager)

Thanks in advance for your help solving this.

[maxim_k]

I mean you need to download AutoCAD 2014 installation and start installation application on your Mac.

If you do not think there is a compatible version for the age or compatibility of my mac bk would It work if i reverted to mountain lion?

On Mountain Lion you can run AutoCAD 2012, 2013 and 2014 AutoCAD ( applies to both - full and LT versions).
And about your MacBook age: if it is from 2007 year (are you sure about this?) than according to system req you can not run AC 2011 on it.
