Autocad 2015 on mac no longer prints to PDF or printer

jamesmustow · ‎01-30-2020

Hello,

I have been happily printing to PDF and a separate A4 printer for the last few years. for a reason i don't understand it now will not print to either. i have reinstalled drivers, updated, and restarted everything but i cannot get it working again.

is anyone else having issues or does anyone have a solution?

Welcome to Autodesk Forums!

Hi James,

Which macOS version installed on your Mac?
What happens when you pick on "Print" button in Print window?
Can you "print" to PDF?

The latest version is updated, 10.15.3

The screen closes as if it were printing but no printer cue is opened, same occurs when I print and Save as PDF on the drop down.

Printer works for other applications, so to does the Plotter Drivers printing to PDF.

I've re installed all drivers and updates and even tried an alternative Plotter Driver and Printer.

The Export to PDF works as a solution but its not scaling correctly which I think is a separate issues of my own making.

AutoCAD 2015 for Mac is not supported on Catalina (10.15), the last version of the macOS on which it was supported was v10.11 (El Capitan):

That is why you cannot print from AutoCAD.
