Bug: Project Manager does nothing when I try to add existing drawings

jamesPDEAU · ‎03-16-2022

Hi there, so I've hundreds of separate dwg files and would like to use project manager to organise them. There seems to be a bug however that means I just cannot add any existing drawings. This seems to have been an issue before because there's a troubleshoot page for it: https://knowledge.autodesk.com/support/autocad-for-mac/troubleshooting/caas/sfdcarticles/sfdcarticle...

However, I've just checked and the file type is indeed associated with AutoCAD LT for Mac, the version I'm using. Would there be anything else I could try or that may be going wrong?

Software: AutoCAD LT for Mac 2021 (latest update)

Hardware:

Model Name: iMac

Model Identifier: iMac18,3

Processor Name: Quad-Core Intel Core i5

Processor Speed: 3.4 GHz

Number of Processors: 1

Total Number of Cores: 4

L2 Cache (per Core): 256 KB

L3 Cache: 6 MB

Memory: 24 GB

System Firmware Version: 447.80.3.0.0 (Monterey 12.2)

LT is what exact year version?
MacOS exact version is...?

Sorry, LT 2021, Monterey 12.2. Updated in the question above too

And to add to the question, when I try to add a drawing nothing will happen but it will say 'Last updated' with the current time.

I can create a new drawing no problem, but that obviously does help when you've hundreds of existing drawings

Hi @jamesPDEAU ,

Have you installed 2021.2 Update to AutoCAD LT 2021 which fixes compatibility issues with macOS 12 Monterey?

Where are the drawings you are trying to add to the project located? On local drive? On network drive?
