Files Read Only after Mojave Update

[john]

Hi,

Maybe someone has an idea about the following but I can't see it anywhere.

After installing Mojave OS update, any drawing which was made before the update has become ''Read Only'' - no matter what I do. Even changing the finder view style or even trying to open directly from AutoCAD LT.

I'm using AutoCAD LT 2018.2 (update installed) but this still doesn't appear to have resolved anything. I've also tried deleting any .dwl. or .dwl2 files but that also doesn't appear to have worked. I don't want to have to keep saving a new file every time I want to work on a drawing. Any suggestions?

Hello @john, 

Update: This is a known issue & the workaround is here. 

I understand that you have updated your system to Mojave. My understanding is that after updating to Mojave the security privileges may change of the operating system, verify the folder & file privileges set, also add applications back to the Security & Privacy dialog box.

Please reach out to Apple for more support regarding your operating system.
