Cad 2007 Fine. 2010 & 2011 Very Slow

[Marzbro]

Hi Guys,

 

New to the forums just having some major and very weird problems with cad.

Autocad 2007 on my system is working fine, very smooth and operates well.

But when I upgraded to 2010, upgraded the problems also lol.

 

Its extremely slow when I select numerous lines or even 1 line by itself and try and select it. Then when i press ESC it goes slow agian, takes about 2-3 seconds to deselect the line.

Ive upgraded my drivers on my graphics card and that has helped slightly but its still very bad.

Im in an office with 7 computers with the exact same specs as me and noone else has the problem that I do.

 

The same problems are with Autocad 2011??

 

Computer Specs:

2GB Ram

XP Pro

Geforce 8500 GT 512mb

Pentium R D CPU 3.40 Ghz (2CPU's)

 

Ive searched a few topics and here. Tried deleting plot files ect, whipthread changing. Nothings seems to be working.

Any other ideas?

Maybe it is starved for RAM?

 

Have you cleaned out all temporary Internet files?

 

Is XP Pro up to date with service packs (SP 3)?

 

Is Windows indexing enabled?

Yeah im really sure to be honest.

Yes I have cleaned out the temporary file and it is SP3.

 

The indexing i disabled it, but it still didn't make a difference. I Dont think its the ram because another workmate has 1gb of ram and is running all versions fine. Its a wierd situation.

Sounds like a graphics issue.

 

The default for 2010 and 2011 as far as I know is to "THICKEN and DASH" upon object selection. This has been known and for me as well to slow down selection, zooming and panning.

 

Try turning off THICKEN and you should see a small speed boost.

 

 

Also, check your "3DCONFIG"

 

Go to "Manual Tune" make sure Hardware acceleration is "on" if available. Also maybe change to the Autodesk Driver. You can also select the Adaptive Degradation Order and see if that may help.

Marzbro - Check if "Selection Cycling" is not set to on? I had the same problem last week (see here http://www.cadtutor.net/forum/showthread.php?t=47598)

 

I hope it helps.
