Weird AutoCAD 2016 lagginess

Anonymous
No aplicable

I am used to AutoCAD 2004, and my company has recently(ish) moved to AutoCAD 2016. I am more used to 2004, but I'd like to make a smooth transition. I've already used 2016 intensively, but I have run into some weird issues with AutoCAD 2016 being more laggy in some ways than I am used to with 2004. I have a fairly powerful machine, specs below, and while that could be the issue, I kinda think its not. The main issues I have are when using shortcuts in quick succession, AutoCAD either won't recognize all of the command before I hit enter, or it will not register the enter until after I have hit a series of other shortcuts. Also, it seems to have issues when selecting large amounts of objects and moving them that 2004 did not have. Sometimes it comes to a standstill when doing operations like this. Also, one quick note, my work is pretty much entirely 2D work in AutoCAD, nothing fancy. Thanks in advance for any help.

 

Specs:

CPU: Intel Xeon Processor E5-2650 v2 (2.6Ghz)

RAM: 1x8gb DDR3 930MHz 13 13 13 32

GPU: NVIDIA Quadro K2000

HDD: Seagate 500GB 7200RPM SATA-3 6GB/S SQ HARD DR

Overall: HP z420 workstation

 

Would faster RAM help? or a better GPU? or a SSD?

Run INPUTSEARCHOPTIONS, and disable it, or increase the time let's say 2000.

 

If you copy large mount of ents (especialy HATCH), turn off properties panel.

 

You can try GRADMODE off. Or adjust DRAGP1 and DRAGP2.

 

SSD definitely yes! But probably does not help with these issues.

As far as I can tell, this probably works. Thank you very much. And for SSD's, I have one in my personal rig at home, and it is wonderful, but not necessarily necessary, as most company data is on network drives.

We have it same. Data on fast network. But still! You need like 240 Gb for system. Now it's cheep. It worse it!

Lunch time of autocad decrease to few seconds (depends of type of license check). All temp data, autosaves, all is stored on your HDD and saving is causing lags. 

If you buy SSD, you will not need more RAM. (still thinking that 8 Gb with no 3D is good enough.)

I looked up your processor on Intel's site, and it will support up to DDR3-1866 RAM, up to 768GB.

I don't know your MoBo specs, but I would definitely recommend more, faster RAM. At least 16GB of DDR3-1600 for full AutoCAD 2016, if your motherboard will support it.

Windows will only allow any single application to use 50% of total system RAM (without registry/system hacking), so you will top out at 4GB available for AutoCAD. AutoCAD loves to grab RAM- I have had 2016 and/or 2017 using in the range of 8GB after running for a half day (I have 32GB installed, so 16 available for AutoCAD). Check in task manager to see if AutoCAD is using close to 4GB, if it is, this will definitely cause lagging, and eventually will cause a crash. Simply increasing the RAM speed/quantity will improve the running speed of your PC in general, and AutoCAD in particular.

 

Very cheap upgrade, as DDR3-1600 is really dropping in price as DDR4 is becoming more widespread.

Good luck.
