AutoCAD LAG

[Anonymous]

Hello, I'm currently working on some housing floor plans and everything was working fine up until a week ago. However, AutoCAD recently started to lag whenever I try to pan or to draw a straight line and I cannot work efficiently. I have the student version (2021), can someone please tell me how I can fix this? Thank you.

Hi @Anonymous,

I see that you are visiting as a new member to the AutoCAD forums. Welcome to the Autodesk Community!

I am sorry to hear about the lag. Did anything change around the time this started occurring? Is it only with certain files? 

A lag can often be caused by out of date graphics drivers, corrupt files, file location (like cloud), or limited system resources (such as can occur when connected to a VPN). The following Autodesk Knowledge Network (AKN) articles provide known solutions: 

Slow or poor performance in AutoCAD

Cursor is slow, jumpy, or jerky in AutoCAD
