davie77 Posted April 3, 2012 Posted April 3, 2012 Im working on Autocad 2007 on windows xp and up until recently I have had no problems, Now all of a sudden it take up to 5 seconds to erase a single line. Before it used to erase instantly. I still have autocad 2004 and have started using that again so I can erase quickly. Anybody got ideas on why it takes so long to erase. I've reinstalled 2007 but made no difference Quote
Tiger Posted April 3, 2012 Posted April 3, 2012 (edited) I don't know anything off the top of my head but a few follow-questions : Does it do the same with both the command ERASE and the Delete-button? Any other commands that does the same, Open; Save or something? Does it say anything on the commandline other than Erase: ? Edited April 3, 2012 by Tiger Quote
davie77 Posted April 3, 2012 Author Posted April 3, 2012 It does the same for both erase and delete. Nothing in the command bar. just a simple erase line, click on line then have to wait for ages before it disappears. Quote
ReMark Posted April 3, 2012 Posted April 3, 2012 Is this a networked computer? Does this happen in just one specific drawing or any drawing that you are working in? When did the problem first occur? Quote
davie77 Posted April 3, 2012 Author Posted April 3, 2012 it is a network computer, but other people in the office don't have this problem. the length of time to erase varies on different drawings. I have some drawings that take forever to open and and really long to erase and some open quickly but still take a while to delete items. Quote
ReMark Posted April 3, 2012 Posted April 3, 2012 So the problem is with your computer only. Any changes made to your computer recently? Are all updates/service packs/hot fixes applied to AutoCAD LT 2007? What are your system specs? What is the average size of a file that you work with? Have you downloaded and used any custom lisp files lately? Do you have hardware acceleration enabled or disabled? What steps have you taken to troubleshoot the problem? Has your IT department been notified? If so what did they say? Quote
dddougal Posted April 3, 2012 Posted April 3, 2012 You need to send the xref to the back and bring everything else to the front... Quote
edwinprakoso Posted April 5, 2012 Posted April 5, 2012 Is it file specific? Do you have the same problem with other drawing files? I also find that some problems are user related. Have you tried to login to your Windows using other user name? Does it have the same issue? Quote
ReMark Posted April 5, 2012 Posted April 5, 2012 I guess davie either figured it out on his own or he lost interest. Couldn't have been such a big problem after all. Quote
