AutoCAD 2015 LT for MAC pinwheels

Anonymous · ‎11-29-2016

AutoCAD 2015 LT for MAC pinwheels everytime I copy/insert/paste or any other additive function. I'm using a MBP 15" mid 2015 running 10.11.6. AutoCAD is up to date and this problem started happening about a week ago. The only thing different is that I added a Mini-display port to Dual DVI adapter for a Dell 3007WFPHC

Does it happen even if you log in as a different user on your system?

Hi,

Do you have troubles if you don't use external display?

Emmsleys - i think you might have a solution... Can you expand on Autocad LT for Mac working under another different user Logon?

Thank you

Of course, happy to help!

I've suggested logging in as a separate user as a troubleshooting step before resetting your settings to default. This way you are able to test AutoCAD in a default settings and a new user profile.

Unlike the Windows version of AutoCAD you can not save your custom settings in AutoCAD for the Mac.

I would recommend creating a new user login and testing AutoCAD with now custom profiles or settings. Let me know if that helps.

Emmsleys - it did work, by logging on as a test user on my mac, AutoCAD 2015 worked without pin wheeling. So how do I set my settings back to default on my orginal log-on

Thank you for you help

Hey @Anonymous,

Look to the steps below from this AKN article.

AutoCAD for Mac 2014 SP1 and later:

To reset the palettes:

Click the Window menu and choose Reset Palettes or enter RESETPALETTES on the command line.

To reset the entire program:

Hold down the Shift key while starting AutoCAD for Mac.
In AutoCAD for Mac 2015 and newer, you may click the AutoCAD (or AutoCAD LT) menu and choose the option to reset the program.

For all versions of AutoCAD for Mac, do the following:

Click Preferences under the AutoCAD menu.
Click the Application tab.
Click the button "Reset Application Options."
Click "Reset AutoCAD."
