With regard to the copy with base point I. Visual studio for mac professional. AutoCAD 2011 for the Mac is not a port from Windows. Rather, Autodesk has programmed this version for the Mac from the ground up with a conscious effort to take advantage of the Mac OS X interface. Apr 11, 2011 Yes the AutoCAD is fully updated. The newest version. Tried to contact the support page, still waiting for answer, but I think they gonna just say to.
Solution: Outdated video driver: • Out-of-date video drivers are a common cause of this problem. Update to the latest video driver from the graphics card manufacturer (see ). • If computer has dual graphic cards, disable the Intel video or set AutoCAD to run with the high-performance card (see ).
• If using AutoCAD 2015 or newer, test having AutoCAD use DirectX 9 instead of 11 (see ). Additional suggestions: • Install the latest updates for AutoCAD (see ). • Confirm that AutoCAD running on a supported operating system (see ). • Install and test with a later version of AutoCAD (if available).
