WHats wrong with my computer?

[Infallable]

Hello,

I'm not particvularly well informed on the technical side of things, so feel free to ask any further details which I haven't provided.

My inventor runs incredibly slow all the tim (Inventor Professional 2013). Its basicly as simple as that - so slow that its almost unworkable.  I am working on a local server as opposed to my harddrive...could this be the reason?

Ive attached a snapshot of my system specs so you can see what my machine is running...

Drawings seem to be a lot slower than .idw and .iam files.

Thanks in advance for any advice you can provide

Have you got inventor installed on the server or locally?

Are you running a vault server?

Thanks

No, we're not running a vault server - I've been pushing it for ages but the IT guys aren't exactly 'pro-active ' on the issue!

Sorry, I didnt fully answer your question - Ive got inventor installed on my hard drive.

have you tried saving your files to your hard drive and working from there?

[chrisrodway]

If its local installed the problem could be your project file. Try making a new one by going into inventor projects creating a new project file

For your setup you need a single user project and select a local working folder to work out of

Hope this works and speeds it up for you, If not I'd recommend a re-install because your PC spec should be OK because mines worse and inventor and vault run fine. If you have to re-install make sure you delete the installation package out of C:/ Autodesk. This mean the installation is completely new

Hope this helps

One thing you did not post is your graphics card information.  This can make a big difference in performance.

Possibly, it you have a slow network. Try copying files to your local machine, and create a new Project to point to the files on the local machine and see if performance improves.

Sorry, your right! My Graphics card is an ATI Radeon HD 4770.
