waiting for the command line

[Anonymous]

Recently "upgraded" to 2004. Operations like "move", "rotate" and "erase"
very often cause a 5 or 6 second wait to get the command line back. Very
frustrating, since I use these constantly. Especially when it reports
"Done!" and I wait another 3 seconds... Anybody know how to speed things up?
Never had that problem in 2000.

Also, whats with the pointless "undo" command? It never undoes more than one
or two operations before it reports that there is nothing left to undo. This
is after being in the drawing for dozens of operations. The drop-down "undo"
is very cumbersome and wastful of time - I just want to do multiple clicks
to "undo" - the way it worked in 2000. Any help out there?

thanks

Do you have xrefs?

I have noticed this same problem when I have a number of xrefs. Things seem
to slow to a crawl when selcting on screen also.

Is your properties window/toolbar open? If it is, that might be the
problem. Try closing it and see if that helps.

Have you tried setting your limits to the extents of your drawing? If
you are working in plane coordinates and your lower left corner of your
limits is 0,0 it will slow things down.

has anyone found an answer to this problem?

All,
I had the same problem when I upgraded to 2004. None of the fixes seemed to help. One was to increase RAM above the 256M I had. Well, I finally got a new computer with a faster processor, a 3.0GHZ with 512M RAM and the file I had problems with now seems to work fine, although I have not had a chance to do more than open it and do a couple of simple tasks. See if this helps.

Tom.
