ACA 2011 Block selection slow

[sgrinavi]

Hi All,

I'm having a strange problem with ACA2011

Selecting blocks is very slow, I click on any block (or select it in a window) and there is a 5 (or so) second pause.  However, I can then select some random number of blocks and other objects (5 to 20?) without issue only for the delay to return at some point.

I have done some searching around and have turned off

Layer Pallets
Dynamic input
3d object snap
Dynamic input
Lineweights
Transparancy
Selection Cycling

I also ignore hatch objects

Interestingly enough it does not seem to matter how large or small the drawing is, It acts the same way even if the only object in the drawing is a single block.

My system

ACA 2011 x64 with the SP applied
Windows 7x64
Dell M4500, 8 GB RAM, I7820QM, 64 GB SSD, 500 GB 7200 RPM drive, Quadro FX 880 M video card.

Any ideas?

EDIT: Just noticed that I have a similar lag issue with XREFS

People please answer what to do!!!!

I have this same problem (ACAD 2011), extremely aggravating. However, I have found if I invoke a command before selection a block, there is no delay, but when selecting a single block with no command envoked there is a delay. I have this problem everyday during works hours (pipe is full), howevery when I am the only one working (pipe is wide open) there is never a delay, strange. I don't believe such an issue could be caused by hardware, but I am looking for any answer I can get.

If you are trying to select a block which have multiple attributes and you have the property tab open at the same time this could cause your drawing to slow down and load as it is reading the information from a block and then displaying the information you have selected in the property tab. try closing the property tab. Hope this solves some of the issues.
