    win7 64 sp1 bit autocad2012 sp1

    Autosave is turned on and set for 10 min. every 10 min the autocad freezes up.

    the cross hairs freeze in the drawing area but i can move the mosue around in the command area.

    I can save the drawing. and close auttocad. if i open autocad but it is in the same freeze pattern.

    I must reboot the computer and start autocad to get aout of the freeze.

     

    Help freezing in dallas texas

    Has this always happened in 2012, or is this a recent event that started today/this week?

    Are your files stored locally, or on a server? If Server, what are your network type/Server OS?

    If you tested by locating your files on your PC, does the problem go away?

    Are you an Admin, or local admin, in Windows on your PC?

    this is a new install. the event has been on going with the new install.

    files are on a server....i turned the autosave off for one day and did not freeze up at all.today i turned it on and changed autosave to 30 min and yes it locked up on the first autosave.

    i will move file to local pc and test. I am Admin on pc and server.

    It's like insurance: you don't need it until that day you do. At 30minutes it does sound as though the OP relies on it more than they wisely should, unless that was just a test.

     

    Now behave you two :smileyhappy:
