Autocad Mac 23 won't start in Ventura 13.2

[RolfWenzel4940]

Hey Everybody,

with my iMac M1 did the recent Ventura Update to 13.2 

Autocad Mac 23 with the recent 2.1 Update won't start anymore beyond the Splash Screen with "loading".

I already tried:

- Uninstall and fresh install with user rpeferences

- Uninstall and fresh install without user preferences 

On my 13" MacBook Pro M1 with the same OS and setup it runs like a flaw.

Did anybody encounter something similar?

Many thanks and best

Rolf

Hi Rolf,

 @RolfWenzel4940 

What if you create new user account on your Mac using macOS System Preferences, login to this new account and launch AutoCAD.

Is it loading?

Hey Maxim,

this sounds like a very smart idea I'll try tomorrow in the office.

Will keep my progression posted..

Thanks and best

Rolf

Hey Maxim and everybody,

Maxim's idea using a different Mac account showed out that Autocad starts without any hassle.

This brought me to the side that it has to be user library related. 

So - uninstall - deleting every Autodesk item in user Library - restart - reinstall - still no success!

I really had to delete every single Autodesk item in user library AND hidden library to bring Autocad with a new install back to life - why so ever.

I think it is a singular related item aka bad luck and hope it won't come back to me nor anyone else.

Thank you Maxim for your brilliant idea!

Best

Rolf
