Problem Autocad lt 11 / Windows 7 64 bit

[Anonymous]

Help,

i have autocad lt 11 (64 bits) on a laptop lenovo W530 (nvidia K2000M). I use Unigraphics NX6 too.

I have 2 problems since i migrated to Windows 7 entreprise 64 bits. I haven't this problem with Windows XP.

1- When i do a chamfer or a raccord (at 0) The shift key freeze the screen and it's impossible to obtain the result.

For example the shift key doesn't work when i deselect an object from a group.

2- I have another problem when i type a command or a text the response time is not immediate.

Thanks for your answer

regards

Sylvain

Is LT2011 fully patched and updated?
Is your commandline docked in LT (I recommend that it always is)?
Does the response time for #2 improve if you turn off DYNMODE?

The version is fully updated and patched.

My commandeline is doked.

And i change the dynmode value and it's not good

is the SHIFT key used to do something else on your laptop? There seem to be dozens of Lenovo topics on the matter: http://forums.lenovo.com/t5/ThinkPad-Edge-S-series/Thinkpad-Edge-14-Keyboard-Key-Shift-r-not-working...
If you disconnect from the network, and turn off your wireless, does the typing lag still loccur in a new LT file? In an LT file on your PC?

The problem still occur. For information in the office 3 personns change this configuration (laptop + win7) and at the moment all have the same problem. So we have 2 screens in configuration extend and a keyboard extern. And I have the same problem with the both. But not shift key problem with other soft.

Hello, is there anybody could help me? I'm searching on internet and i don't find anywhere the same problem  

i test different adjustment and nothing change....

Your last post speaks of 2 screens being used. Assuming the other LT Seats are also on Laptops with the video being pushed to a second monitor as well.

How much RAM for the Laptops? Aero or other themes being used?

Have you tried not using the second monitor and just having LT run on the Laptop screen only?

If so do the problems persist?

If not then there is an issue with the second monitor, and that may be nothing more than adding the monitor and then extending LT to that screen.

Changing OS from Win XP to Win 7 would not automatically make video changes to the setup of LT from one OS to another.

Assuming the other LT Seats are also on Laptops with the video being pushed to a second monitor as well. It's OK

How much RAM for the Laptops?  8GB

Aero or other themes being used? Basic themes

Have you tried not using the second monitor and just having LT run on the Laptop screen only? yes I have

If so do the problems persist? The problems persist

Also, boot into safe mode to test if this issue persist on safe mode.

So, i tested the sticky modification. And nothing changed but it seems it's the good way. I do a mistake. I launch the "on-screen-keyboard" after that my "physical keyboard" did'nt work. I tested this config with autocad and it works!

To change the keybord situation i must tell to my IT crew (because i don't have the administrator right). That was not easy but after some times. We find one thing. When my laptop was configured it was using the soft "dameware virtual keyboard" and it's the reason why i can't change the config keyboard alone.

We try to delete this soft (try because for the moment it's not complete) and between a restart my physical keyboard and the shift key was ok. Autocad works very good.

BUT when the IT connect my laptop again, the problem be back and some parts of the soft  "dameware virtual keyboard" was'nt destroy.

Now i'm waiting the next week because they will try to delete completely this soft. and i hope autocad works.

Maybe it's not the solution, so if you have an idea don't hesitate.  Tell me

Hello,

the problem still occurs...

[pendean]

Sorry if I missed it, but did you try testing while in safe mode?

Spoiler

Finally after different test ( it's not easy to launch a safe mode in Windows 7 entreprise with a lenovo W530) I try in safe mode and Autocad did not work. I launch Autocad and after 5 seconds it closes.

But I have a news about my problem. I found a dwg file made 03 may 2013 (with autocad lt11 / windows XP) and when i launch Autocad by this file, this file unblock all my problems! ! Incredible!

After this i can use Autocad normally create a new drawing etc... For information this file was create by the same gabarit (.dwt) file.

I check if i found some difference between the both situation and i saw the old file is a trusted dwg and not the new one. How it could be possible? And is this, the reason why i have problems or not? I don't know.

Maybe when my IT install Autocad an option must be valid?

if you have any answer tell me because it's very weird.

[pendean]

A weird fix for sure, but glad it worked.

[Anonymous]

Yes it works but it's not the right way. 

I hope really someone gives me a solution. I'm an autocad teacher in my entreprise and i can't explain the .dwt file if it doesn't work. And how explain to start Autocad, don't use the icon but use one specific dwg file. it doesn't make any sense.

[pendean]

"trusted" means the file was created in AutoCAD: the tohers must have been created in other programs.
Sounds like you just need to reset your default templates based solely on your posts, although I'm still confused about that whole 'virtual keyboard' software entry you also identified as a solution.
We don't use Lenovo laptops (or desktops), but we do have 2011-2012-2013-2014 installed in Win7 Pro 64bit with no issues in our entire office. And all of out default templates are created in AutoCAD.

[Anonymous]

It's the first thing i do. I made a new template from the old trusted file. and it doesn't work.

I used the default autocad template too and it doesn't work.

Why Autocad doesn't open a trusted Autocad file like an untrusted Autocad file? And sometimes not. that is the question...

[pendean]

Can you share a problem DWG? Realize all we can do is confirm if the problem is file related or not, if it opens for everyone here then your issue might well be system related.
