Autocad keeps freezing

[Meyssenjens]

Hi Autocad community !

When i'm working with Autocad, especialy in 3D moddeling, Autocad randomly spins my drawing, and suddenly freezes, and this happens very often wich makes it impossible to work with because I have to save every 2 Minutes or after every action I take.

I have inserted a screenshot for an example ( See red Arrow )

Do you guys can figure out what this is ?

Thanks in Advance

AutoCAD version?
Windows OS?
System details? Video card is?
Have you tried changing hardware acceleration?

Are you acccidently rotating the view cube?

I would suggest as soon as you get the viewport on the screen with the correct view in it you lock the viewport.

Autocad 2015

Windows 8.1 Pro

Amd Radion R9 280X 3G GDDR5 PCI-E GFX Card

16 GB Ram, Intel i5 Processor

And hardware acceleration is on, standard

Its not only in layout I have this problem, I have it in Modelspace aswell, Was just working in Lay-out when I had the problem again.

It does happen more frequently when I drag my drawing with the middle mouse button, maybe it is related ?

That does sound like AutoCAD is beating up on your video card: if you can't find a certified driver for it from Autodesk you will need to change hardware acceleration in AutoCAD to compensate.

If that does not work, What changes do you reccomend I do in the hardware acceleration configuration ?

Thanks for the fast reply's

You don't have too many choices there: experiment.
