Mouse movement precision

Hello Forum...  thanks in advance for your reply's.

 

Mouse movements are not precise when moving around in AutoCAD.  I have a Logitech optical mouse that works wonderfully in the Microsoft products or any other program, however, in AutoCAD there seems to be a very slight delay between when I move the mouse and when the crosshairs move on the screen.  As soon as the computer "realizes"  the mouse is moving, the hairs try to "catch up".    I just got a new Lenovo 27" monitor and now the mouse seems to have a discontinuity/lag between my hand movement and what occurs on the screen.  Any suggestion on a remedy to this would be great.

 

when working on a smaller screen this either does not happen or the effect is minimized due to the smaller screen, not 100% sure.

Hi,

 

there you can find some suggestions for slow mouse >>>click<<<

 

I would like to add that updating AutoCAD could help. As I don't know which version of AutoCAD you have (command _ABOUT) you need to find out if there is an update available by yourself. Also start command _GRAPHICSCONFIG and make sure AutoCAD finds your correct graphic card (if you upload a screenshot from that dialog that might help us to give you suggestions to that).

This is what I could find:

 

Windows 10  - 64 bit

 

2017 Autocad

 

Lenovo Thinkpad Core i7 vPro , 2.60 GHz 16.0 Gb

 

As far as a graphics card goes there are 2 listed but I don't know how to tell which one AutoCAD is using:

Intel HD Graphics 5520

NVIDIA Quadro M500M

Thanks: that helps, you have a good system that is not underpowered.

The split-video cards scenario may be the culprit: explore this topic and see if you can get the NVIdia to be used https://knowledge.autodesk.com/support/autocad/troubleshooting/caas/sfdcarticles/sfdcarticles/AutoCA...

That's why I asked to start command _GRAPHICSCONFIG and show us the screenshot :cara_guiñando_un_ojo:
