AutoCAD 15 is OK in Windows 7 Pro but Very Sluggish in Windows 10

Hi All,

 

A sister company of ours has asked me to help them trouble-shoot a problem they're experiencing on computers that have Windows 10. Comparatively speaking, their computers running Windows 7 Pro (64bit) do not experience the same problem with the same drawings.

 

Their hardware/software is:

  • AutoCAD 2015 SP2
  • Intel i7-6700 @ 3.4 GHz
  • 16 GB RAM
  • 64bit OS
  • NVIDIA GeForce GT 730 [Notice this is NOT the ...730M that is on the list of approved cards. The card in use is NOT on the list]

Their drawings are typically between 10-15MBs

They are saving to AutoCAD v2013

 

The problem is manifesting in several forms:

  • Many "Fatal Errors" each day
  • Excessively long regen and save times
  • Long times to open files

One observation of mine: They put ALL the drawings of a project into ONE drawing file. And they are not using the paperspace tabs in what I believe is the traditional way - they just put all their separate drawing work (objects, dims, annots...) into separate PS tabs, without viewports to model space, so that an entire project is all contained in one drawing file of about 10-15MBs.

 

Any and all suggestions and comments are welcome.

 

TIA,

Sal

Did you try to disable Hardware acceleration ?

Hi FDC,

 

That thought didn't cross my mind, even though I usually run with it disabled, because my experience has usually been that it causes skippy cursor movements and jumpy drags/copys/moves. But hey, I'll give it a try.

 

Thanks

This statement from Autodesk is hardly a 100% solid endorsement for the combo http://autode.sk/1IY4C2X

Hi Dean,

 

Once again you came through for me and the group. This is what I suspected but couldn't find any confession information from Autodesk.

 

Based on this information, I will recommend we bite the bullet and upgrade to a more current version of AutoCAD.

 

As always, thanks for your input.
