2014 - Unknown command results in massive lag....

[darawork]

Hi all,

This can best be demonstrated with a video:

Basically, when I accidentally input a typo into the command line there is a massive lag before AutoCad comes back to life. Nearly three seconds.

This happens on our AutoCad 2014 LT installations too.

I have all the predictive/corrective command line features turned off.

I have also uninstalled 360 and online content services, prior to the problem, to no avail.

Our office internet is proxied, and there are no ports opened for any Autodesk products.

Is it trying to search 'online' help for the command typo or something?

Anyone have any idea what is causing this? It's losing us valuable seconds / minutes / days / weeks / months, depending on how you look at it.

My .ARG file (Migration..?) is in a folder that is on a floating 'sync' with the server. The folder is 'My Documents', which along with others is managed by MicroSoft 'Sync Center'.

I'll try moving the .ARG locally.... but this problem also exists with our LT versions (Checked Process Monitor filtered for acadlt.exe), which have no Profile import/export.

All installations were done from digital download at the subscription center, all 64bit installations on Windows 7 64bit. We uninstalled 2013 and then installed 2014, for full AutoCad and LT workstations.

Since IT moved the user accounts, two days ago, and a few subsequent reboots / log-ins / MS sync catchup... the whole teams installations have speeded up, to the point of ver2013.

Watch your server accounts... Moving office? Make sure IT move your /Documents folder locally.
