AUTOCAD for Mac lagging after every command

mmi11s — Thu, 09 May 2024 10:30:16 GMT

Downloaded AUTOCAD for Mac 2025 onto my MacBook Pro 14-inch, 2021, with 32 GB memory last month. Everything was working smoothly up until last week. Now every time I select a command it lags uncontrollably to the point where I can't use it anymore. Zooming in and out runs smoothly, but when trying to draw a poly line or dim line, for example, it starts to lag. This happens even on new drawings now.

I've tried all the 'fixes' I could find online but nothing seems to work. I've tried:

AUDIT

PURGE

RESET CAD

DOWNLOADED CAD 2024 (still have the same issue)

DELETED RECENT BLOCKS

UPDATED COMPUTER

RESET COMPUTER

I also made sure my computer never uses low power mode on system settings. The only thing I can't figure out is the GRAPHICSCONFIG command, I don't have an option to turn it on or off? I am new to CAD so I could be missing something really obvious. Please help! Thanks

What is your MacOS please?

And what changed with your setup or where you store files or how you back them up or your OS/Updates since last week?

Hi @mmi11s ,

In addition to @pendean questions:

Do you use Geometric Constraints in your drawings?

It's macOS Sonoma version 14.4.1.

I changed how my files were stored post this lagging issue to see if it would help - it was previously stored on my iCloud but I changed it to my computer to see if it was a network issue but nothing helped.

I think these constraints may be the reason for the lags.

Try to remove them all and don't use at all.

Do you see lags in this case?

EDIT:

Just thought: Do you really mean Geometric Constraints?
Maybe you're talking about object snaps?

Can you share one of your drawings in which you observe the lags?

I was talking about object snaps, my bad! Just deleted geometric constraints and nothing changed, still lagging as usual. I also tried using an external mouse to see if it was a trackpad issue but still lagging just as much. However, I used AUTOCAD on a separate computer and the drawings were fine? So it confirms that the issue is with my computer specifically and not the drawing. I'll attach a drawing anyways to see if I'm missing something.

Hi @mmi11s ,

There is nothing special in your drawing. I used AUDIT command and it found 15 errors in the drawing database, but I'm not sure that these errors could affect AutoCAD performance.

Do you use external references? I see one Xref, but it is unreferenced (= erased).

>>>Everything was working smoothly up until last week.

Can you remember what happened during this time on your Mac?
