We are talking about files with 20 or 30 polylines and some mtext. I open up my Task Manager and see ACAD spiking a use of 817MB of Memory just when I try to move the cursor across the screen. Any advice would be great, but I am about to wipe my computer and start over.&nbsp;</P> Wed, 09 Jun 2021 19:13:22 GMT https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/autocad-forum/memory-usage-spikes-and-pausing/m-p/10377185#M76391 Anonymous 2021-06-09T19:13:22Z https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/autocad-forum/memory-usage-spikes-and-pausing/m-p/10377194#M76392 R2020/C3D2020 is not new: is this a sudden new problem?<BR />Or a new PC?<BR />Or a new install minus all the 2020 updates?<BR />Or gremlins from list nights' Microsoft updates?<BR />Or is today work-remotely day?<BR /><BR />You've not shared much info from what I can tell: let us know more details.<BR /><BR />Resetting the program(s) would be the first thing to try, then just logging in as a new user on the PC to test IMHO instead of wasting your time with a PC wipe.
