What specific commands are causing crashes?

On my side I don't have issues with commands I'm using usually in my work.

PRESSPULL will give me a crash, but that's just one of many. 2023 does not work that smooth as 2022, it is loading/processing much more.

Have you installed the 2023.1.1 Update yet? ABOUT command will confirm what you have installed. If not, get it from your Autodesk Account Page here https://manage.autodesk.com/cep/#products-services/updates
Restart your PC afterwards.

If that did not help... Set GFXDX12 variable to 0 (that's a zero) then restart AutoCAD2023: reverting to DirectX11 hay help your video card play nice.

Also consider turning off LINESMOOTHING and LINEFADING variables: if still no relief then start GRAPHICSCONFIG command and change the 2D Display Settings pulldown from "advanced mode" to one of the other choices.

Or... roll back to 2022 then reach out to Support through your Accounts page for help. let us know if you don't know how to do any of these recommendations.

Are we talking about AutoCAD for Mac?

If yes, then - @maxwinkens what is your Mac model?

PRESSPULL has always been a stumbling block in AutoCAD for Mac, especially if you want to PRESSPULL something from splines and if the drawing has a lot of 2D objects around.

Exporting your drawing to pdf is also miserable on the 2023 version, looks like a child made a drawing with fat markers.

Please verify that you have "Scale Lineweights" option turned off in Print window when you save drawing to PDF:
