AutoCAD freezing after selecting/ deselecting

[Tiger]

...
..... get used to typeing?

...
Learning the commands is not really a solution I think. I mean, it must be possible to work fluently in AutoCAD without knowing all the commands..

some context then, to help the old and blind

Thank you Tiger. I can see clearly now the clouds are gone... (rocks from side-to-side in best Stevie Wonder style).

Easy easy guys. I didn't buy the software. That was the office I'm working for. And I understood that it wasn't meant to be fully serious when you (Tiger) said, that I have to learn the commands. It is more about the order of doing things anyways. Only if I select first and then type the command it freezes. If I type first and select then, it actually doesn't (and please don't tell me to just do it the other way around then, because this still doesn't apply to using the delete key...)

have you tried to copy everything out to a new drawing?

Okay, here's news. We found out, that if I open the file by doubleclicking it (rather than going through File - open), the problem actually disappeared. A collegue of mine had the same problem with another file. Wellcome to AutoCAD... This is far from logic, but anyway. I'd still ike to know, what the program was actually doing, when it scanned the drawing.

good that its fixed.

Hi, just to let everyone know about the real solution for the problem (I don't count the one from before as a proper solution, as it was pretty random) - if you have the same problem, make sure, that in your layer manager the filter for the layers is NOT set to "all used layers". That makes the program go scanning all the layers after every command, which takes time. This program really has some very special features...

Thanks for the update. That's handy to know.
