AutoCAD 2017 for Mac & AutoCAD LT 2017 for Mac APFS file system

[TIMCOOKE6282]

Can AutoCAD LT for Max 2017 be installed on an OSx with Apple APFS formatted SSD? I am having issues trying to do so, but wonder if there is a work around or setting change that can be made?

Hi @TIMCOOKE6282,

Here is an article that indicates that the file system that is supported is Mac OS Extended (Journaled).  I will reach out to see if there is additional support for it. Are you running High Sierra or a different OS?

I am running High Sierra Beta Version 10.3

Hi @TIMCOOKE6282,

• Since High Sierra is not a public release, I suggest that you refrain from trying to install 2017 product on it as it was not originally designed to work with that file system.  I know that the Mac development team is testing product on High Sierra so I hope that I can say it is supported in the near future.

I suggest you also consider contacting the Mac Customer Council and enroll for the current Beta release of the next version of AutoCAD for Mac.

Hello @TIMCOOKE6282,

Just wanted to update everyone on this. My understanding is that only High Sierra offers APFS which is a Beta Apple OS that has not yet been released. Autodesk does not support Beta operating systems. Thank you for bringing this up in the forum.
