Hello @Anonymous,
Try adjusting the ZOOMFACTOR system variable. You can modify this system variable from 3 - 100 the default is 60.

As a test you could also adjust the following system variables to see if any of these system variables help fix the issue;
SELECTIONCYCLING = 0
UCSDETECT = 0
ORTHOMODE = 0
DYNMODE = 0
ROLLOVERTIPS = 0
SAVEFIDELITY = 0
QPMODE = 0
SNAPMODE = 0
SELECTIONPREVIEW = 0
PROPERTYPREVIEW = 0
The mouse speed is a Windows property. Go to Control Panel → Mouse → Select Pointer Options tab → Adjust Motion pointer speed → Click OK.
Yeah that works sometimes, but not in this instance. I am also having the same issues, my mouse's sensitivity is fine everywhere but in the drawing space. the toolbars, the desktop, other applications and software its fine. in the drawing space in ACAD Arch, insanely sensitive. some of the other ideas in here seem to have made it somewhat more bearable, but still not correct. this is an insanely annoying side effect that has inhibited my productivity immensely.

Just curious, do you have a double-resolution / Retina display where the pixel count is doubled in the same area from a traditional display (e.g. a 3840x2160 resolution appears as 1920x1080)? AutoCAD has had a lot of problems with those displays in the past, although from what I understand the newer releases supposedly address many of those issues.
It certainly seems like that is what's going on. AutoCAD thinks the resolution in the drawing area is double what you actually see, meaning the cursor would move twice as fast.
Do you know of any fix for this?
I'm having the same issue and what you're telling seems to be correct.
I'm running Autocad in Parallels on Mac, so I probably have 2 resolutions.

Ordinarily, I'd say to keep playing with your display settings – resolution and scaling. The closer to native resolution and 100% scaling you can get, probably the better (which will make things tinier). In your case, running it in a virtual machine, I'm not sure how that would play out but it might still be worth trying. I wonder if the cursor problems might be due to glitches between AutoCAD and Parallels as well. If you run Windows natively via Boot Camp, you'll still likely encounter some resolution issues (although Autodesk has supposedly fixed many of these in recent versions), but that may solve your cursor movement issue, at least.
So it turned out being a problem with the remote connection, and i believe it was because of the resolution. I was running at one resolution on my desktop at work and a different one at home on my laptop/monitor. Sorry it took me so long to respond and thank you for the information.
Enter "3dconfiq" hit enter, turn hardware acceleration to off. Link below:
Hello,
After trying a few things, finally what worked for me to stop the slow lagging and just the slow mouse inside of the work area was to turn off the hardware acceleration.
Go to:
A > Options > system > Graphics performance > Turn off Hardware Acceleration> OK.
And immediately you should notice a difference.
Thank you very much!
After a fresh install, I had a slow mouse in the workspace.
"3DCONFIG" / Hardware Acceleration / Off. worked for me!
I am using AutoDesk TRUEVIEW. TRUEVIEW cannot use the command line - so no possibility to enter the command "3dconfiq".
I could access the GRAPHICS PERFORMANCE -> EFFECT SETTINGS -> HARDEWARE ACCELERATION [ON]
I turned off this HARDWARE ACCELERATION, but no change in mouse speed...
My mouse (specifically the HOUSE WHEEL for zooming) is far to sensitive inside the AutoDesk TRUEVIEW window... it behaves normally in rest of Windows though....
Any help is highly appreciated.
To adjust your mouse speed in Windows, you can follow these steps: Windows Settings: Click on the "Start" button (Windows icon) in the bottom left corner of your screen. Select "Settings" (the gear-shaped icon). Devices: In the Settings window, click on "Devices." Mouse Settings: In the Devices window, select "Mouse" from the left-hand menu. Adjust Pointer Speed: Under the "Mouse pointer speed" section, you will find a slider that allows you to adjust the speed. Move the slider to the left to decrease the mouse pointer speed, making it slower. Move the slider to the right to increase the mouse pointer speed, making it faster. Additional Mouse Options: For more advanced settings, click on "Additional mouse options" under the Related settings section. Pointer Options Tab: In the Mouse Properties window, go to the "Pointer Options" tab. You can further fine-tune your mouse speed by adjusting the "Select a pointer speed" slider. You can also choose to enhance pointer precision, which makes the mouse move more accurately across the screen. Apply and Save: After adjusting the mouse speed to your preference, click "Apply" and then "OK" to save your changes. Your mouse speed should now be adjusted according to your preferences. You can revisit these settings anytime to make further adjustments.
"After some investigation, I noticed this only seemed to be an issue for certain machines with certain graphics cards. Running some troubleshooting on this I found the issue only occurred when the graphics card was using DirectX 12, which was introduced in AutoCAD 2022.
The good news is this only affect a small number of graphics cards/drivers, and Autodesk is already aware and working towards a solution. Even better news is, there is a simply workaround for now.
To temporarily fix this, enter the new AutoCAD 2022 System Variable into the command line:
GFXDX12 and set it to 0
This will revert to DX11 on restart of AutoCAD."
This method solved my slow mouse in AutoCAD 2024
