page setup dialog box goes missing in 2013 - El Capitan

Anonymous · ‎05-04-2016

When trying to print from either paper or model space the page-set up dialog box that allows to choose plotstyles etc goes missing. Very irritating as I can't print anything to the plotter or to a PDF with the correct print settings anymore. Crazy position to be in for a drawing office...

Im running AutoCAD 2013 on MacOS 10.11.3 (El Capitan).

Is there a patch available?

Many thanks

Erfan.

Is the dialog just off the screen?

as @rkmcswain mentioned i would look to see if it is off screen.

Hit: alt+spacebar and then hit M

This should give you keyboard control over your dialog if it is off screen. So then just simply use the directional arrows to move your window on screen.

Do Macs have an ALT key?

Yes, that solution doesn't do anything I'm afraid.

I've already asked the mods to move this to the Mac forum, but just as an FYI for the future, the Mac Forum is here.

Hi,

AutoCAD 2013 for Mac is not compatible with El Capitan and the issue with Page Setup dialog is only one of many other issues that could appear when using 2013 version on El Capitan. And there is no workaround / solution except updating AutoCAD to the latest version or downgrading OS X to previous version.
