AutoCAD 2026 Exception and Fatal Error

September 14, 2026 Shawn Heator

Issue:
Launching AutoCAD 2026 will produce two errors and fail to successfully open. This behavior occurs after installing updates for Vault Client 2026. 

The first error is an “Exception” and points to VaultAutoCAD2026.bundle.


 

The second error is a Fatal Error with an Unhandled Exception.

 


Causes:
The problem occurs because Vault Client 2026.4 update is installed but the AutoCAD 2026.1.2 update is not installed. The AutoCAD 2026.1.2 update is required to maintain AutoCAD and Vault functionality. 

Solution:
The solution is to download and install AutoCAD 2026.1.2 update. 

AutoCAD updates can be downloaded and installed from Autodesk Access, from your Autodesk account at https://manage.autodesk.com, or from the hyperlink below.
