jumpy mouse/crosshair

[gougha]

I have an user who is having issues with his crosshair being jumpy/eratic while in Mechanical 2011 (actually has Inventor 2011, but issues happen in Mechanical). He still has 2009 installed as well. This happens whether or not there is a new drawing open or a saved drawing. I have searched for help, but have been unable to find anything that sounds like this issue. He uses: HP Compaq DX 2300 4 GB RAM 80 GB hard drive 1.60 Ghz (dual core) NVIDIA GeForce 8400GS graphics adapter (460 GHz, 256 MB-DDR2 SDRAM, video output 2048 x 1536) 2-21" Planar LCD Panels The issue only happens on monitor #2. When the monitors are flipped, the issue stays with the 2nd monitor. We are going to check for a video driver update, but were wondering if this is a known issue for CAD Mechanical 2011 since this is not an issue in 2009.

Thank you for you reply.  Sorry I haven't posted back, I was out on vacation after the Chrsitmas holiday.

We tried your suggestion and the issues still remains.  In addition to the above we have also done the following:

1.)  updated the video card (also changed out the cables to both monitors just to be double sure even though I really don't think that has anything to do with it)

2.)  unchecked the dimension option from the snap settings under filter options

Anyother suggestions?

I have a user that had very touchy cross hairs that would act like OSNAPS to obects. This would make drawing miserably slow. I had her set the ROLLOVERTIPS to "0" and now ACAD runs smoothly. My question.... Is there a setting, variable or comtomization that would keep this from burdening the system with the ROLLOVERTIPS set to "1".

THANKS

Hi,

rollovertips is a system variable and there is no other setting.  This issue is alredy reported to the development team.

Thanks,

Try setting your crosshair size to 5 or something less than 100 (if you are even set that high).  Temp workaround for me.  I'm still trying to find out what is really causing the problem.
