computer hangs while working on a specific file

[Anonymous]

Hi, I have a problem with my education software of autocad architecture 2018. When I open a file that I had created with hatches, trees etc. and start working on it further, my laptop hangs up completely. I am not even able to open task manager. This has been happening for the past few days. This problem doesn't occur with other files. I have tries to shut off the hatch and tree layers too but nothing happens. I can't even use line command, can't plot or export the file. I have also tried to copy a part of the file into a new drawing yet, this problem occurs. Need help ASAP! I hav Thanks.

Hi @Anonymous,

Welcome to the Autodesk Community, and thank you for posting your question here in the AutoCAD Architecture forum!

If the issue is file-specific, you might be dealing with some file corruption. Have you tried any of the cleanup steps in the following article?

• How to repair corrupt AutoCAD files

If the performance issue is more general (all or most files, instead of file-specific), you might also want to run through the recommendations in the following article, which help AutoCAD products run well on Windows systems:

• Optimizing AutoCAD performance within Windows environments

If the issue is file-specific, and you've tried to clean up / repair the file but it's still causing problems, feel free to post the file here. We'll be happy to analyze it and make recommendations.
