The plotting box needs a hotfix. Setting a custom location for plot settings does not work. I have to copy my ctbs into the default directory. Also, the scale and centering setting act wacky. Turning centering off and zeroing out the settings after preview the Y changes to some random number. The scale setting has to be set to the scale you want then you have to turn fit on then set it to a scale to get it to work right. Other than that I can finally plot from autocad for Mac easily. This really is a game changing version.

Hi betazero,  

Thank you for your feedback. After adding the custom folder path in Printer Support search path, all the plot style table can be listed in Plot dialog's plot style drop down. 

It's in Preferences dialog>Application>Printer Support File Path>Plot Style Table Search Path. 

Click + too add your custom folder path under the search path. 

And restart AutoCAD. 

If you already added the path, could you please give me more information about the issue "Setting a custom location for plot settings does not work. I have to copy my ctbs into the default directory. "

Thank you for your time!

Yes I know how to set it to a custom directory but none of the settings in the CTB work in a custom directory. Also the icon to edit the CTB does not work when your CTB is in a custom folder. I will double check that I fully closed Autocad before trying to plot. I am not 100% sure I did that step. I know I closed Autocad but not sure if I right clicked on the icon and closed it. I will verify that.

On a different subject sorta... Is there a way to save the last folder location for the next plot? I have to find the folder every time.

What does number 2 on this list mean? Where do I find this "Double-click AutoCAD_Mac_2018.0.1_Hotfix.dmg" and what does "mount the volume" mean?

That means you need to double click "AutoCAD_Mac_2018.0.1_Hotfix.dmg" file, which should be in Downloads folder on your Mac after you download it from your account page or from >>>this<<< location:

After you double click it the new Finder window will open:

Where you need to double click "AutoCAD_Mac_2018.0.1_Hotfix.pkg" file and Hotfix installation should start.
