russ_1989 Posted September 15, 2012 Share Posted September 15, 2012 Hey all, new to this forum! im currently using Autocad 2013 and it is running painfully slow when drawing lines and copying lines and objects... my experience on autocad is very minimal and i have no idea how to speed things up a bit. also icons appear next to lines when i join 2 or more line, one for each join, i have no idea what they do but i suspect they may also be causing my drawing to lag. any help would be greatly appreciated thanks!

ReMark Posted September 15, 2012 Share Posted September 15, 2012 Icons? Maybe you are drawing with "Constraints" enabled. Found this advice online at the AutoCAD for Mac forum: "The drawing aid buttons at the bottom of the display have an INFER button (left hand side of list next to SNAP) which when activated will aplly constraints automatically turn this OFF (left click on it )."
