ahedberg Posted September 14, 2011 Share Posted September 14, 2011 Hello, My company is currently deploying windows 7 across the entire organization, and we have run into a snag related to AutoCAD 2012. Basically, AutoCAD is painfully slow when the user has a redirected 'documents' folder and is 'working online' . Below is a summary of our environment... Domain = 2008R2 (64bit) Desktop OS = Windows 7 64bit Autocad = 2012 The client hardware profile is all over the board. I am testing on an I7 with 16GB RAM and a SSD. The folder redirection is accomplished with a group policy and offline files is configured for each of the redirected folders. Here is the rub... I can log in with a test user, select 'work offline' from windows explorer and AC2012 works just fine. But, If I attempt to launch AC2012 while working online, it takes 6 minutes to load. We put a sniffer on the switch and it is very obvious that, when working online, AC2012 looks for a bunch of files in the user's documents folder. Since we have redirected this, it is traversing the network (redirection target) to do this. That said, it does not create any files and still loads (eventually) after failing to locate the files. Anyone solved this one yet? It seems to me that we should be able to point autocad to location besides 'My Documents' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
