Trouble with AutoCAD for Mac? Get the Service Pack

Some users have noticed a few niggling compatibility issues with the 2012 release of AutoCAD for Mac, so Autodesk has been working hard to resolve them. The resulting bug fixes are all contained in the new Service Pack 1, and here are just a couple of reasons you should download it.

Firstly, if you've been experiencing some issues with your mouse pointer disappearing after closing down the drawing and not all of your Shortcut keys have been working correctly, don't worry. This wasn't anything you had been doing wrong, but rather a hardware conflict with the system which has now been fixed. Other hardware fixes include the Enter key adjacent to the Number Pad now having the same functionality as the Return key, and a smooth operating mouse pointer icon when swiping the trackpad to pan around the drawing. Issues when setting up your plot page and trying to rotate the viewport were down to a bug in the system which has also now been sorted.

Unlike other Autodesk Service Packs, this AutoCAD for Mac one unfortunately doesn't actually contain any new features. However, it is a must have update to ensure you're  running the best version of AutoCAD for Mac available. Service Pack 1 for AutoCAD for Mac 2012 is available to download here.
