AutoCAD Civil 3D 2011
Computer Specs:
Windows 7
Xeon E5-1620 V2
16GB RAM
Quadro K4000
Everytime i am in a big drawing and start to work i get a 'Autocad not responding message' and the cursor will just spin, casuing me to restart. This will happen about every 5 minutes or so, It happens a lot when i try to import something into the document. When working on smaller drawings it doesent happe as much, but still happens.
I tried reinstalling the software, but that didnt fix the issue.
Help please.
This could be caused by other things, but one thing to do is empty your system temporary folder. Open Windows Explorer. In the address bar, type %temp% and hit enter.
Select and delete everything from this folder that will delete. Don't worry about those items that won't delete, just bypass them.
Does this BIG drawing have xref's? If so, are you using xloadctl and indexctl to load into memory only the portions you need?
PDF files in the drawing? Turning off their display can make a huge difference. Other images? Same thing.
How long have you waited while AutoCAD was not responding? Somtimes you have to be more patient. 😉

My bet is you are running out of resources. Civil 3D requires a lot of memory just to run. The version you are running is a 32 bit application so it can only utilize 4 GB of memory even though you are in a 64 bit environment with plenty of memory. For this reason Autodesk recommends a 64 bit version.

It is the 64 bit version, anyways we have other users with the same exact computer and same exact software, and the program works pretty much flawlessy on those other computers.
