Anyone happy with cursor lag in a virtual desktop setup for acad?

[JamesMaeding]

I did a couple demos with vendors, where they have acad set up on a remote machine on fast cloud servers.

These are not beginner vendors, but pro's offering top notch setups.

The idea is you run acad on the same servers, or very close, as your data, so the files load and save fast, no matter where you run the remote desktop from.

I'm sure every CAD manager has thought about this, but I hesitate to post to that group since its not got the following this one does.

Anyway, in the demos, in a blank drawing, with various dynamic input stuff off, the cursor still has a fair amount of lag.

It's about double what I would consider even workable for production people that have used cad for a year or two on desktop. That is a complete fail, I could not recommend such a setup, my cad people would freak out.

Has anyone found the cursor speed of a cloud acad setup to be at least tolerable for 8 hours a day cad operating?

I don't care about medium level use opinions, of course people just viewing files can deal with it. Its the core production opinions I'm wondering about.

thx

Generally, no—most users find cursor lag in a virtual desktop setup for AutoCAD frustrating. It disrupts precision work and slows down productivity. Reducing lag typically requires:

A strong, low-latency network connection

Optimized virtual desktop settings (e.g., hardware acceleration, bandwidth limits)

Using lightweight remote desktop protocols designed for graphics-intensive apps

Is this some AI reply?

The subject has been discussed on this thread and people are still posting general info?

 Say something to tell us you are not an AI or I'm gonna see what admin thinks of this.

Looks indeed like some kind of AI 🙂

As for the old subject - it reminds me a bit of the old days. The time AutoCAD use LIFO - Last In - First Out for drawing elements. As a drawing grew in size, it would take longer and longer to select 'old' elements. Up to several seconds. So you had  to adjust your pace....

With Release 12, AutoCAD switched to a different algorithm, which mostly solved the problem.

What rules are being broken? 
Are you offended by it?

This forum is full of useless posts by people and AI. What is it about AI that makes this concerning to you?
