plrob Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 Hi, I am having trouble with AutoCAD running slow with large drawings (over 2000 objects). I'm not a computer wizz, so not sure where to check all the system stuff, but here's some screen shots to help: These shots were taken while CAD was frozen. The rest of the computer was working with no problems, no other program freezing, and the same thing happens with many other programs running, or nothing running, .dwg on the server or on local memory. seems to me there is plenty of memory available, but AutoCAD is not using it. Any ideas why this is happening? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dana W Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 You're not showing any computer specs. What sort of graphics card do you have? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ReMark Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 This is happening with just this one particular drawing? Have to totally disabled the InfoCenter? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plrob Posted July 13, 2012 Author Share Posted July 13, 2012 This happens with any reasonable size drawing. Running 'AcadInfoCenterOff', supposed to totaly disable InfoCenter. Seems to be OK with files up to around 500 kb, but I commonly work with files around 1 to 5 mb, and some files from 10 to 50 mb, may be bigger at times, involving xref, PDFs, and dozens of layouts. (generaly just plotting from the largest ones) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReMark Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 Your graphics are being handled by an onboard chip and not a dedicated graphics card. Correct? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SLW210 Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 What driver you running for the Radeon? Can you get a screen shot of the Task Manager before it crashes using the same file? Do you have Hardware acceleration On or OFF? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mor424mont Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 maybe your software / app has been corrupted. try to re install and see if there's any progress. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReMark Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 I disagree with the above and would only Repair or Reinstall if all other avenues to solve the problem have been explored and discarded first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
