3D Orbiting Jerky in AutoCAD.

[joshua.beattie]

I am having a problem where when zoomed in close to 3d elements in a drawing, the panning and orbiting becomes very jerky and means I cannot align the view as I need to in order to continue drawing. Using both shift + middle click and my spacemouse lead to the same thing.

Any suggestions as to how to stop this from happening?

Thanks.

any changes if trying to turn ON/OFF Hardware Acceleration from 3dconfig command .

No, unfortunately not. It remains jerky with hardware accel turned on and off.

Does your issue happen only in this drawing or in general?

[joshua.beattie]

Only in this drawing, but it appears to be a random issue. It has now stopped but will undoubtedly arise again. It persists through audits, purges and closing/reopening AutoCAD.

Thanks for this, as suggested in the support page you linked to, turning on the 'zoom to extents after view change' setting within the ViewCube and then selecting 'TOP' resolves this issue. Without 'zoom to extents after view change' turned on the jerkiness does not stop.

Thanks again.
