Mizarch Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 Hello, Several of us in the office are having issues when we have multiple drawings open. There seems to be a delay and sometimes the programs freezes briefly. The icons at the lower right screen flicker while this is happening. It's rather annoying to have to close a one file to work briefly on another or even to copy something from one drawing to another. I've tried starting over with fresh templates. That didn't help. Does anyone know what is going on and how to fix this? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReMark Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 Since you said "several of us" can we assume you are working off of a network? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mizarch Posted July 17, 2013 Author Share Posted July 17, 2013 Yes, we work from a common server. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nestly Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 I don't have LT, but have seen several reports of LT2014 "Flickering". A quick review seems to indicate a video driver issue and/or problem with the 2014 AecCore.crx file I would read through this topic (discussion of the file begins at post #40) http://forums.autodesk.com/t5/AutoCAD-LT/AutoCAD-LT-2014-Flickering-Issue/m-p/3921360#M113797 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SLW210 Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 Can you post your computer specifications? Do you all have similar computers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ReMark Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 These wouldn't be laptops by any chance utilizing an onboard graphics chip? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mizarch Posted July 17, 2013 Author Share Posted July 17, 2013 Yes, they are laptops. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReMark Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 I wonder if that has anything to do with the video driver issue that was made reference to in nestly's post? Personally I recommend that laptops being used for CAD be fitted out with a dedicated graphics card and forego the use of the onboard graphics chip.

nestly Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 I had a chance to read through the whole post I previously linked to, and it seems to be the same issue, and no one has indicated that the AecCore.crx fix did not resolve the problem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll have the others in my office try the same. Thank you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nestly Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 Great, make a log file somewhere documenting the manual change so you can remember what you did if Autodesk releases a hotfix / Service Pack. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
