I have multiple workstations that run AutoCAD Architecure 2013. When the users start the program it will stall out on the AcDgnLsTrans.dbx for 5-20 min. This file is on the local drive so it can't be a network thing. we need to open and use DGN files on occasion so I don't want to get rid of it. Any ideas on getting this to not stall out on startup?
I'll suggest running ProcessMonitor from Microsoft, that should show you what's hanging where.
Hi Tedwardspg,
I am also having the same issue. Can you please tell me how did you solve this problem?
I don't know if this is the proper solution, but it did resolve the sluggish startup on 2012.
Remove the following files from C:\Program Files\Autodesk\AutoCAD 2012
AcDgnIO.dbx
AcDgnLS.dbx
AcDgnLSDraw.arx
AcDgnLsTrans.dbx
AcDgnMsStr.dll
AcDgnRes.dll
AcDgnUI.arx
I also removed the folder C:\Program Files\Autodesk\AutoCAD 2012\plug-ins\translators
When I restarted acad, no hesitation occurred. No adverse effect. We don't work with dgn files, so I'm assuming we should have no further problems. What's really strange is that we've had 2012 installed for years, and this just pops up out of no where. Maybe some one from adesk support will chime in with a real solution.
