Slowness when using Autocad

[Anonymous]

Hello, I have several problems when using Autocad 2017: The opening of the product is very slow The navigation between the tabs remains frozen for several seconds The display of plans is incomplete I have a PC with I5 Processor and 8GB of RAM with an Intel R HD Graphics 520 graphics card. Could you help me solve my problems? Thank you.

Hi, i could spend all day giving you different things to try but your best bet is to follow this link:

This gives a brief troubleshoot changing on variable every-time to see which is causing the problem,

I hope this helps 🙂

Hi,

can you please test all these issues after

• creating a new Windows user account (with admin permissions)
• login with that account
• disconnect your workstation from every type of network (so Internet is not found, network printers are not found)
• start AutoCAD with a new drawing, based on an AutoCAD original template

...same slowness?

>> with an Intel R HD Graphics 520 graphics card

Intel HD are not really graphic cards for CAD, so if your projects are bigger and/or 3D you should think about getting a "real" graphic card.

Also make sure AutoCAD is up-to-date, when starting command _ABOUT you can see the exact version information, this should show this:
