AutoCAD LT 2013 does not open

[mkinler]

autoCAD LT 2013 for mac. Have had app several years and not had any problems until now. When I click to open the icon in dock at bottom bounces for a minuite or two then stops without opening. Have uninstalled and reinstalled twice. Used this link for the version conpatable with Yosemity:

http://knowledge.autodesk.com/support/autocad-lt-for-mac/downloads/caas/downloads/content/autocad-lt...

Restarted and shutdown multiple times. Operating systems is up to date (10.10.5). All other apps running fine including Adobe CS6.

Have deadlines and panic level is very high. Please, is there anyone out there who knows what I need to do?

Thanks for the suggestion but tried that. Installed the latest 2013 LT and service pack 3. Still does not open (slumping lower in chair).

This would lead me to believe that your OS is not supported for ACAD for Mac LT 2013:  http://knowledge.autodesk.com/support/autocad-lt-for-mac/troubleshooting/caas/sfdcarticles/sfdcartic...

According to that page, you'll need the 2015 product to work on your OS.

Hi mkinler,

Have you tried to delete (remove) AutoCAD preferences?
One of the way to accomplish this is unchecking "Leave my preferences" option during removing AutoCAD with"Remove AutoCAD " application.

My wife's mac is running 2013 with the same OS. Thanks

Yes, I tried that. Reinstalled 2013 LT and kept preferences then did a reinstall and removed preferences. Still does not open. Appreciate the suggestion.

Could you attach the contents of System.log from the Console.app at the time when you launch AutoCAD from Dock and it bounces for a minuite or two?

I tried to start it twice. Here is the system log:
