iCloud issue

[renatasa]

Hi,

All my files are saved on iCloud and, for some strange reason, when I am working on a CAD drawing, it keeps re-saving this drawing with a different name. So, if the original drawing was called 'plan', it keeps saving this drawing as 'plan 1', 'plan 2', plan 3' etc Sometimes I end up with about 10 or more re-saved drawings and even if I save my drawing, sometimes the changes only appear on the re-saved drawings.

Anyone knows the solution to this? It doesn't happen with any other program except AutoCAD LT (for mac). Thanks.

It's a known issue, see other posts here covering the topic. Only solution now is to not use iCLOUD as you do.

Dean,

Nice to see a familiar name and face here. Do you happen to know if there is a way to add AutoCAD to the list of apps that are found on this list- and might that solve the issue if it's possible to hack that list through terminal???

System Preference|iCloud|iCloud Drive Options...Apps that store documents and data in iCloud will appear here:

Nope: that's something Apple and Autodesk need to address at a higher level.
