AutoCAD 2015 LT for MAC pinwheels

[Anonymous]

AutoCAD 2015 LT for MAC pinwheels everytime I copy/insert/paste or any other additive function. I'm using a MBP 15" mid 2015 running 10.11.6. AutoCAD is up to date and this problem started happening about a week ago. The only thing different is that I added a Mini-display port to Dual DVI adapter for a Dell 3007WFPHC

Does it happen even if you log in as a different user on your system?

Hi,

Do you have troubles if you don't use external display?

Emmsleys - i think you might have a solution...  Can you expand on Autocad LT for Mac working under another different user Logon?

Thank you

Of course, happy to help!

I've suggested logging in as a separate user as a troubleshooting step before resetting your settings to default. This way you are able to test AutoCAD in a default settings and a new user profile.

Unlike the Windows version of AutoCAD you can not save your custom settings in AutoCAD for the Mac. 

I would recommend creating a new user login and testing AutoCAD with now custom profiles or settings. Let me know if that helps.

Emmsleys - it did work, by logging on as a test user on my mac, AutoCAD 2015 worked without pin wheeling.  So how do I set my settings back to default on my orginal log-on

Thank you for you help

Hey @Anonymous, 

Look to the steps below from this AKN article. 

AutoCAD for Mac 2014 SP1 and later:

To reset the palettes:

• Click the Window menu and choose Reset Palettes or enter RESETPALETTES on the command line.

To reset the entire program:

• Hold down the Shift key while starting AutoCAD for Mac.
• In AutoCAD for Mac 2015 and newer, you may click the AutoCAD (or AutoCAD LT) menu and choose the option to reset the program.

• For all versions of AutoCAD for Mac, do the following:

1. Click Preferences under the AutoCAD menu.
2. Click the Application tab.
3. Click the button "Reset Application Options."
4. Click "Reset AutoCAD."

Let me know if that doesn't work.
