Autocad 2015 LT for Mac freezes - File|Open|Desktop

[hlafferty28]

As noted above Autocad 2015 LT for Mac is freezing when I open a file on my desktop.

Operating system OS X 10.10.2

Processor 2.3 GHz Intel Core i5

16 gb memory

Autocad Product version J.51.M.313

This a new occurrence.

I have reset Autocad, checked system permissions and repaired.

Every time I selecct File - open and then desktop the Autocad freezes, and I have to force quit.  Everytime.

If I go to recent drawings, this does not happen.

hlafferty28, 

    My name is Scott, I am a product support specialist on the AutoCAD team and I understand that you are experiencing some freezing behavior in AutoCAD LT 2015 for Mac, I'd be happy to help you with this. 

    This is a known issue regarding desktop subscription licenses with AutoCAD and AutoCAD LT for 2015, our developers are already working on this issue but they would appreciate it if you could attach a log generated from the Mac from when the freezing behavior occured, I believe you should be able to find these logs in console - view - show log list. 

Regards, 

Scott

Scott-

Thank you for your response.  I have attached several logs form the past couple of days.  The freeze occurred when trying to open a file on the desktop.  It was repeatable.  The work around was to move the files to a folder in Documents.  No problem.  Two unrelated crashes occured today when trying to remove a leader from a multiple leader.  This was not a freeze - Autocad just "went away”.

These are the first issues I have had since the last service update.

      I will go ahead and review these logs, did this latest crash produce a chance to file a CER with us? Were any error dialogs produced during that crash?

I have reviewed the logs and found the CERs you reported, after review I have decided to escalate this issue up to our AutoCAD development team as a change request. Searching for a workaround for the exception code that was shown in the CER I have as yet not been able to find one. It appears that the development team is aware of the issue and is awaiting a fix from Apple:
