2015 does not have the problems, and 2019 seems better. I am seeing sticky cursor on really clean files, and some crashes just while mouse wheel zooming. I am seeing autodesk not do this, and dismiss too many issues that are chronic for 2018 based on my 100 users in 8 teams at my offices. Its usually not some simple setting, but could be of course. Its really hard to know why the problem happened if you get to this point, based on experience. Whatever you erased was the issue.ħ) if problem still happens, block all to new drawing and see if it happens. Whatever you detached was the issue.Ħ) Erase entities until the problem stops. Purge all and reopen.ĥ) Start detaching xrefs and see if the problems stop. Normally this will not solve slow regen or sticky cursor issues, just entity related issues and drawing open times.Ĥ) Open and audit the main drawing with problems. It shows them in columns.ģ) Clean the drawings of app ids and other things using my or others' cleaners.

What it lets you do is add drawings, then 'scan properties' to see various things like app id count.

Anyway, this is the process I speak of:ġ) Get all files involved, as you requested from the OP so they need to provide that, and see if the problem replicates.Ģ) Get and use my PurgeIDs free tool posted on these DG's. Obviously troubleshooting is an art, and there are many great artists in this forum, but all have some organized approach and it will vary some depending on the issues. I have done this for years, it is something I have spend hundreds of hours on since release R14. Graphics Card: NVIDIA Quadro M2000 (most up-to wanted to mention, since you help a lot of people troubleshoot, I would recommend a more structured approach.

Have just had my C: drive changed in my PC and have gone from Windows 7 to Windows 10 so everything is fresh but am still having the same problem which is why I'm edged towards it being a hardware issue if anything? However, it isn't just the block it hangs on, it also happens when trying to dimension between lines, objects etc, doesn't have any effect if I use the button on the ribbon or type the command on the command line, it's always the same outcome with the program hanging. Changing the block is out the question as it is a company wide standard, is there anything I can do to stop AutoCAD from freezing and hanging? It happens in most drawings, doesn't matter if I am in 2018 or 2016 and happens near enough every time I try to move, pan or zoom with a selection made after so much has been added to a drawing.ĭrawings are usually between 2-4Mb so isn't much data within the drawing in a sense, but with regards to the block I mentioned, this data in the block is repeated hundreds/thousands of times dependant on the drawing in question. The block in particular there can be hundreds if thousands on one drawing as it is one we use constantly. We are using blocks with attributes on with different visibility's and the hang happens worse on these blocks. Whenever panning, zooming or trying to move an object in AutoCAD, it tends to hang, freezing for several seconds before it starts to cooperate again. I did this for Chrome, Outlook, etc.First off, this happens with whatever version of AutoCAD I use, I have 20 and the same thing happens in both, so my initial guess is AutoCAD is hammering my video card. Open Windows 10 / Graphics Settings and for the applications that you see in the Task Manager currently using the GPU 0 for 3D (column GPU Engine) which is, by default, the Intel Integrated GPU change them to use the High Performance GPU which, by default, is High-performance NVIDIA GPU.Open NVIDIA Control Panel / Manage 3D Settings / Global Settings and set High-performance NVIDIA processor as preferred.Uninstall the Intel HD Graphics Control Panel or open the Services app and disable Intel HD Graphics Control Panel Service (this seems to be important due to a potential conflict with NVIDIA or the Intel Graphics Command Center).

Install the Intel Graphics Command Center.

I noticed that looking at the Task Manager GPU charts, whenever I noticed mouse lag, the Intel GPU had peaked to near 100% so I guessed the problem could be in the default GPU.I don't know whether only one of the operations resolved the problem or it is a combined solution but this is what I did: I have a 9570, not a 9560 as int the title, but potentially the issue is the same. For the others, my fellow colleagues, I have been trying loads of things and it looks like the last one reduced the lag to the minimum.
