I just installed AUTOCAD LT 2017 on my
Surface Book Windows 10 Pro
i7-6600U CPU @ 2.60GHz 6.81 GHz
16.0 GB
64 Bit
I am having issues with the F8 Command (Ortho) freezing or taking along time to respond (60 plus seconds). If I use the ortho icon in the bottom tool bar it responds instantly with no lag. Please help I use this key 5-10 per min or at least I use to...

HI @Anonymous,
This is an ongoing issue that has started with the release of a Windows update and is currently being worked on by our development team and other technical specialist.
I will go ahead and escalate this thread and attach it to the open defect number. I would suggest adding your comments to the thread mentioned by Dean as well. This thread is also being closely monitored. I will do my best to provide an update to this thread if anything else should be applied or tested.
Thanks.
Same issue with Architecture 2016 on Surface Book w/ latest Windows Update. By selecting the ortho icon below the workspace, it does not freeze up. It freezes up only when I use the F8 shortcut key while turning ortho on and off.
@Anonymous,
Can you also please post your results with the F8 key and the Windows 10 update to this thread: https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/autocad-lt-general-discussion/autocad-lt-2017-freezing-while-using-f-keys/m-p/6487847#U6487847
Thank you.
I use Autocad 2016 and after windows update anniversary I have same problem. I have found like workaround to set TEMPOVERIDDES from 1 to 0. After this changement switch F8 ortho on/ortho off don't freeze anymore,but Shift key to enable temporarily ortho don't work anymore.
RCOUTU - Awesome. You can even hit the Ortho AFTER you have gripped and are trying to move. Best, Harry
Hi
I am have the same issue with the ortho F8 key. In addition when I try to esc out of it, it won't let me. I have a brand new MSI laptop that exceeds all of system requirements for AutoCAD Architecture 2017. I was also have issues just copying an object. I turned off the graphics acceleration, but this is terrible. I had 2016 on the laptop and had to completely remove it because it would hang on the start up. I would have to shut town 2 or 3 x before I could get into a file.
Did anyone find a solution?
We are going nuts with a brand new instalattion of AcadLT17.
Copy command freezes for 30 about seconds in our drawings.
And the worst is finding threads as old as 2011 with the same issue...loosing hope here.
