AutoCAD error aborting on Mac OS

Asked By Samantha B 0 points N/A Posted on - 10/31/2011

Hello everyone,

I’m wondering if someone already encountered a problem like this and could help me with my troubles.

I’m using Mac OS and I have installed AutoCAD a couple of days ago.

The installation went fine but when I try launching the app I get this error message:

“AutoCAD requires 1024 by 768 resolution or higher to run.”

Thank you for your time.

AutoCAD error aborting on Mac OS

This is not actually a fatal problem in AutoCAD.

This only informs you that in order for the application to be opened or run, you need to have a 1024 x 768 screen resolution.

If the error message AutoCAD requires 1024 by 768 screen resolution or higher to run appears on your screen after opening AutoCAD, it only means that your current screen resolution or screen size is not set to 1024 x 768 or is lower than this screen size.

To fix this problem, you just need to change your current screen size to 1024 x 768 or higher.

The error will not appear again after changing to a higher screen resolution.
