Honestly, STFU and remove the filesystem check and let us use the software we paid thousands of ****ing dollars for, or you'll loose all your customers.

Doesn't work.

Hi,

The script that checks the system file type is "chkfs", which has the call defined in the "Distribution" file. The "chkfs" is a shell script that you can edit, so I changed it to allow the installation.

To do the editing, simply unpackage the pkg file with pkgutil and then repackage and install normally (refs: https://coolaj86.com/articles/how-to-unpackage-and-repackage-pkg-osx.html )

My changes: I commented the statement that checks the file system type. See below.

So, see it running in the high sierra.

Until a version that corrects the "bug" for the new Apple system is released, you may be able to use AutoCAD.

Awesome, thanks for sharing your work!

There's even no need to comment anything in a script itself

You can just edit Distribution file, changing

function verifyFileSystem()
        {
            system.log("Testing System Drive File System for compatibility with AutoCAD");
            var retcode = system.run("chkfs")
            system.log( retcode )
            if (retcode) { blablabla}

to

function verifyFileSystem()
        {
            system.log("Testing System Drive File System for compatibility with AutoCAD");
            var retcode = system.run("chkfs")
            system.log( retcode )
            if (0) { blablabla }

Greetings.  I'm new here but I've been following the thread. High Sierra Update was officially released today. Has anyone heard any news about an Autocad update?  I've got High Sierra running on my macbook 2015 and Autocad wouldn't function after the update nor did it work after trying a full reinstall. Thanks ahead for the help.

@Mark.Lancaster

thanks for the quick answer. Actually Im a student and I using AutoCad for my masters. So I only allowed to download AutoCAD 15 as a Mac version. Do u have any idea to get AutoCAD?

[Mark.Lancaster]

@Anonymous

I'm confused..  You have access to AutoCAD for Mac so why are asking how to download it.  Are you asking for the 2017 version and requesting it?

[Anonymous]
