AutoCAD stops and spinns for bit

[cadman6735]

I think AutoCAD is looking for something but I don't know what? How can I check to see what AutoCAD is looking for when it stops and spinns (Spin = hour glass)

 

Sometimes after entering a command, any command AutoCAD will stall and the little blue circle where the curser should be starts to spin for about 10 - 30 seconds. I think it is looking for the license server since I do know that this server is having some issue, the IT department told me they are about to replace it but everytime I mention that I think it is the licenses server is the reason AutoCAD stalls, they take a very defensive stand and so "No it must be AutoCrap" HOw can I check to see what AutoCAD is doing when it stalls?

 

thanks

 

I am using AutoCAD Arch 2012

Use Process Monitor to find where AutoCAD is freezing or slowing down, go to this link for details=> http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb896645

Have you checked your support file paths at all?

Yes, but everything seems to be ok, as far as I can tell anyway, the thing is I have two profiles one for inhouse network and one for laptop out of house where everything is looking on the C:drive.... Long story why we set it that way but non the less, When a laptop user is in house they still use the laptop C:drive profile and this spin accors on (when I wittnessed it) 3 machines at the same time, 2 being network profiles and one being a laptop profile. This leads me to think that it is a license issue, it is the only thing I can think of.
