Our office is using cad 1018 on remote desktop. I'm facing with cad being extremely slow. The cursor on screen is much slower than in normal cad scenario. The pointer has a lag and is jerky. its not at all smooth.
I've run all the commands to make it efficient as in the following link.
Is it Microsoft Remote Desktop that you are using or another application?
It is likely going to be an issue/limitation with the remote software rather than AutoCAD.
Also if you have an active subscription don't forget about Home Use Rights which allows you to install a 2nd copy of AutoCAD on a laptop or at home for when you don't have access to your office computer:

Yeh Microsoft Remote Desktop app is very laggy, this will be your issue especially if AutoCAD is fine when your sat at the computer.
All I can suggest is you look at an alternative remote access app if this is how you want to use AutoCAD offsite.
For instance I use Team Viewer and AutoCAD comes through fine but you will need to buy a license.

This response is a little unsatisfactory as the issue only applies to AutoCAD. Other programs run just fine. A better explanation is needed besides MS RDP being a bad program.
AutoCAD is not like other programs, it requires constant connection for files locations and drops dozens of temp files everywhere. If you need to use RDP consider another program, or use ot to simply check-out DWG files to work on locally then re-up-load when done. You and your team will need to be very communicative to avoid overwriting each others work.
Most of us use VPN as a better solution for live connections with AutoCAD: others move to cloud services like DropBox and OneDrive as another solution.
I’ve used AutoCAD over RDP for years and it’s always been frustratingly slower than other applications, including REVIT. Normally I’ll download DWG to my local machine work on it locally and upload at the end because this works out a faster way to do anything more than 20 actions. Panning the drawing view in model or paper space or moving the cursor is terrible. I can’t offer a resolution but my guess is the way AutoCAD interacts with the display driver means it’s talking to your home laptop graphics card across the RDP connection
Anyway I found this which may be relevant and useful
I'm also running RDC - far be it from me to defend anything MS, but has the OP run a connection test to check for latency? Normally my home connection is anywhere between 8ms to 20ms, but now 'everyone' is working from home and bandwidth is being used up I've seen my latency degrade to 40ms+. This means the pointer becomes very sluggish, like you're dragging it through treacle.
If they have means to run the software locally (which I don't) that would by far be the most efficient method.
Same for me. Looking for some kind of AutoCAD setting that may help. I guess there's not one. I've even tried changing background to white, making the cursor 1% screen size, etc. AutoCAD must do graphics differently than Revit and other software. Revit works fine. AutoCAD is irratably slow.
Setting the CURSORTYPE = 1 is much better. At least now I can work at close to normal speed. Seeing a mouse pointer instead of a cursor is a little odd but it works and the lag is almost completely gone. Using Remote Desktop for the past month has been pretty close to on-site normal except for the AutoCad cursor. Even the ribbon and command area's where the cursor changed to a pointer were normal. But once you move into the cursor window it's like playing pin the tail on the donkey with a fishing rod and a five pound weight on the tip. WAKE UP AUTOCAD CORPORATE THERE ARE A LOT OF PEOPLE WORKING FROM HOME THESE DAYS USING REMOTE DESKTOP.

This is not a new issue with remote desktop. If you read the thread thoroughly, Autodesk has acknowledged it and says the problem is with the remote software. In other words, they cannot make a change that will help with this. You need to look for other solutions.

Drafting is a breeze and Revit doesn't always work the way you think it should.
From a pragmatic point of view I totally agree with you but if we're being honest, this is *not* a problem with RDP, isabsolutely a problem with AutoCAD. This would be like Autodesk saying it's not their fault you bought a quad-core processor and their program can only use 2 cores for a handful of things and 1 for everything else.
I would still call that Autodesk's fault, not Intel or AMDs. And I am pretty dang sure the number one reason it happens is because C3D operates in a fundamental vacuum of competition. For now.
