command input delay

[Anonymous]

For seven years I've used AutoCAD2011 on my Dell Intel Xeon CPU/w3565@3.2, 18GB Ram, 64x.  AutoCAD has worked great for years. This past two-ish years the commands were slow to be executed. The delay produces the thinking wheel and diminishes my productivity. I upgraded the video card to NVIDIA GeForce GT730. Not the solution. In desperation, I purchased a new computer, DELL Precision 5820, Xeon W2125@4.0, 32 Ram, NVIDIA QUADRO P2000. Hmm, not as slow (no wheel) but delay is still there - productivity is still low for the $ spent. Blogs have suggested to turn Dell Precision Optimizer to OFF and AutoCAD Hardware Acceleration to OFF. Not the solution. What is the problem? Is it Windows10Pro? Or am I at the point I must buy new AutoCAD?

Thanks

Hi,

>> What is the problem? Is it Windows10Pro?

Are you running AutoCAD 2011 on Windows 10, then yes, that might be a problem as AutoCAD 2011 was released long (very long) before Windows 10 was introduced/released.

>> new computer, DELL Precision 5820, Xeon W2125@4.0

Hope you use this workstation also for other products, not just AutoCAD ... as the Xeon processor has a lot of kernels, but AutoCAD (as most CAD applications) mainly work on just one of them. An i5 or i7 with a higher frequency would be the better choice for AutoCAD.

..or are you on a newer AutoCAD release and we can suggestion to look into the "input search options"?

I docked the text screen which made a huge huge improvement in speed.  I'm still flummoxed that this was the solution.

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
