Slow performance when 2 drawings are open??

Does anyone know why is it AutoCAD slows down dramatically when I have more than 2 drawings open at one time. When I only have one its fine. The drawings are not that particularly big either (2d plans under 2 MB)

 

Cheers,

Could be any number of things.

 

What are your full system specs?

 

Are xrefs being used?

 

Is there a great deal of hatching in the drawings?

Your system specs look good. What do you have for a graphics board if I might ask?

 

When did this problem first happen?

 

Are you on a network or a standalone workstation?

So you are using AutoCAD on a network. Where are the drawing files stored? On the network as well?

 

When did you first start experiencing the problem?

Yes hardware acceleration is enabled and the anti-virus doesn't have real time protection, though I don't know if that makes much difference.

Did you...

 

-disable the CommCenter?

 

-turn off the display of digital signature?

 

-check your file paths?

 

-delete extraneous layer filters?

Digital signature is turned off, the file paths look fine, and there are no layer filters. How do you disable the CommCenter? I can't seem to find it.

The paths I would be concerned with would be those leading to your drawing files and any customizations that are stored on the network.

 

Disable the CommCenter. Use this lisp by Owen Wengerd. Appload the routine then type DISABLEINFOCENTER at the command line.

 

DisableInfoCenter.lsp

Well, it is certainly not nearly as bad as it used to be. It isn't 100% smooth but it's at least at a tolerable speed now. Thank you for that ReMark it helped a lot!

Any other problems with the way the program works? Any error messages? System lockups? Lagging mouse input?

 

Have you tried putting the drawing files on your desktop and working with them from there?

 

Anyone else where you work using AutoCAD and having the same type of problem?
