Hey finally My autocad start working.... I deleted everything and even other Autodesk software & i mean all the files and then installed autocad and it working cool...... 🙂
Reinstalling didn't work for me. Nor did resetting application application options. The menu bar is simply
missing in action.
did you deleted all the files after uninstalling autodesk software???...... wat i did is uninstall all the autodesk software and and den deleted files from:
1. /Users/"your user name"/Library
2. /Users/"your user name"/Library/Application Support/Autodesk
den reinstall only autocad nthk else and after that i install all other autodesk software and it started wrking....
I hope it'll help.....
I've done all that. Autocad support sent me a bunch of emails suggesting things, but they
have no idea what's wrong.
Could you check the permissions of your "~/Library/Application Support" folder to assure you have write access?
AutoCAD needs to copy some profile stuff to this location (including palette icons) when you first launch.
To check permissions, from a Finder, go to your home folder, select Library, then under that, select the "Application Suport" folder. Right-click and choose "Get Info". At the bottom of this Info dialog, check the "Sharing & Permissions" settings and assure your login has "Read & Write" Priviledge. You should be able to change permissions here.
Another way to make this folder writable (and hopefully fix this mising icon issue) is to
1. launch a Terminal window (found in Applications / Utilities)
2. type the following command:
sudo chmod -R +w ~/Library/Application\ Support
Then, the next time you launch, these profile files (for things like palette icons) should be properly copied to the required folder.

did you find a solution? i have the same problem and apparently nothing works for me
Here are the directions I received from a tech support person
1. Open a terminal window.
2. cd "/Applications/Autodesk/
My tool set panel is empty . When I open autocad I see at the commend bar :problem loading cui panel:
I can use the draw ,modify. Dimension from the top bar , but I don't have it at the tool set panel .
Any ideas .?
thanx
Hi,
have you tried this solution from geoffreymbrown?

2. cd "/Applications/Autodesk/AutoCAD 2011/AutoCAD.app/Contents"
3. ./copyreg.sh "/Applications/Autodesk/AutoCAD 2011/AutoCAD.app"
Note: The above assumes the default install location.This did work for me, but I've had subsequent emails suggesting that they (autodesk) areconcerned that permission problems may persist.What these directions do isrun a script distributed as part of Autocad that sets upn things in your ~/Library directory.Nobody has said, but I'm assuming that when this script is ordinarily run (on my machine and maybeyours) it doesn't have the right permissions to create the necessary files.I don't know if this is universal, but our machines are set up so that installingapplications in /Application requires sudo. Perhaps this is related to the root cause.
Hi . I have try that but I think I am not writhing it right. Dose cd stand for the command baton on the keyboard? Do I need to use the " at the beginning and at the end? Do I press the enter key between the first command and the second ?
Can you tell me how to Wright it exactly?
Thank you for your help.
Hi,
cd stands for Unix command "Change directory",
you have to open Terminal.app (in Utilities) and type exactly (with quotes):
first line
cd "/Applications/Autodesk/AutoCAD 2011/AutoCAD.app/Contents" hit Return
second line
./copyreg.sh "/Applications/Autodesk/AutoCAD 2011/AutoCAD.app" hit Return
(don't miss point - first symbol in front of /copyreg.sh)

Spaces in unix are handled differently in Mac OS X. Normally, you can add quotes to define the full path. i.e.
cd '/Applications/Autodesk 2011/Autodesk.app/Contents' but sometimes, this will not work.
It is much better to run the following commands to get your Tool Sets to work:
cd /Applications/Autodesk\ 2011/AutoCAD.app/Contents
./copyreg.sh /Applications/Autodesk/AutoCAD\ 2011/AutoCAD.app
The space in the Finder is replaced with "\ ". [Backslash + Space]
