Hi,

Have you tried to restart your Mac?
If this doesn't help - try to reinstall AutoCAD: remove it with "Remove AutoCAD" application and then install again. You need to leave "Leave application preferences" checked during removing AutoCAD in order not to loose your customisations.

Hello,

I have the same problem. After reinstalling it, it worked for a week then the same problem appeared again. And I seriously don't have the time nor the patience to uninstall and install it every week. Is there really no other solution? 
Thanks
