My AutoCAD 2015 for Mac crashes

[Anonymous]

After I installed OSX El Capitan my Autocad 2015 for Mac started to crash everytime I use a Hatch or try to navigate through the layers... HELP!!!!

Hi @Anonymous Welcome to Autodesk Community!

Sorry OSX El Capitan is not supported at the moment. Your Autodesk software may launch, but it will not operate properly and damage to your project data could occur. See Mac OS X v10.11.x (El Capitan) compatibility with AutoCAD for Mac and AutoCAD LT for Mac.

Is AutoCad for Mac 2014 supported by El Capitan yet before I upgrade?

When can I receive the service pack for EL CAPITAN. I have ugraded, and keep have problems opening and working and saving cad files.

Can I know by when will this be solved. I have the update news by email?

Hi!

I'm a user of Autocad 2015 on a iMac 2,9 GHz and of Autocad 2013 on a Mac book pro 15'' late 2009.

I've recently ''upgraded'' both machines to OSX EL Capitan. Whenever I'm trying to access layer manager the program just crashes. That also happens even when I put the cersor on the new layer icon. As you can understand it's almost impossible to use the software for any architectural drawing. After several tries, I've reinstalled Autocad 2015 and I've tried also with Autocad 2013 and 14 but the issue remained.

I'm studying in one of the most demanding universities of the world and the deadlines are coming the one after the other. I've been using Autocad for 6 years and Mac for the same period and I have never faced such a problem. I've noticed that Autodesk is working on a fixing for the El Capitan. Do you think that my problem would be solved too? Or do I have to downgrade to Yosemite (which is a painfull procedure) ?

Thank you

AL

I'm also experiencing crashes with CAD for mac. I'm operating on El Capitan, however while I was on Yosemite I had CAD 2014 and still experienced CAD crashing. Is it still the same reason? If I downgrade to Yosemite and keep my CAD 2015, will I still encounter these problems again?

>>>>Is it still the same reason?
No, it is not the same reason. AutoCAD for Mac is not compatible with El Capitan at the moment:

If you will downgrade to Yosemitte you should not experience crashes as in El Capitan.
