Autocad LT 2016 for Mac - laggy and slow

Hi there,

 

I'm new to Autocad LT for Mac, but I'm finding it extremely slow and cumbersome to work with. If I work too quickly, I'll inevitably get the spinning rainbow wheel; if I hatch, I'll get the same thing; if I move around the page, same; if I go to another window and then back to Autocad, same thing.

 

It's really affecting my productivity speed. Any suggestions for speeding things up? I'm working on a Mac with OS X Yosemite version 10.10.5 with 8 GB of memory and an Intel HD Graphics 5000 1536 MB graphics card.

Hi adrienneTT3XS and welcome to the Autodesk Community!

 

I am sorry to see that you are having performance issues.

 

IS this happening in all files or just certain ones? Are your files large or complicated? Are you working on a local drive or an external one or even a network.

 

Give me some details so I can try to improve the performance for you.

Hi John,

 

This is happening with all files, even the most simple.

 

The files aren't large or complicated. I've even had this problem with files that are no more than 50 lines.

 

I'm working on files that are saved locally to my hard drive.

 

Thanks, hoping you can help!

Hi Adrienne - yes more questions :cara_con_una_leve_sonrisa:

 

Are you running any security software or have Time Machine running in the background?

 

If you create a new user account (administrator) and then logon with the new account do you still have the performance issues?  This might be a damaged user profile.

Hi John,

 

We're not running any security software, or Time Machine.

 

The new user account does not make a difference.

Hi @Anonymous,

 

Thanks for the update.

 

Have you tried a RESET yet?  This can be found under the AutoCAD pulldown (next to the file pulldown).

 

Also, could you attach one of your files?

 

Thanks for your patience.

I didn't know you could do a Reset! I think it did the trick - thanks!

Hm...I may have spoken too soon. It's still slow. :cara_de_decepción:

Hi @Anonymous, I'm sorry to see that you are back :cara_con_una_leve_sonrisa:

 

I think something must be running in the background. Can you send me an average file so I can see if there is anything unique that might cause this problem?

 

Have you applied the updates? (1, 2, & 3)

Hi John,

I've attached the latest file I've been working on.

I have applied all of the updates.

Hi @Anonymous,

 

The drawing actually doesn't feel slow on my side even though for an AutoCAD file it is rather large at 5 MBs. I did notice however, that an Audit found 50 errors. Purge found 218 zero-length objects and 3 empty  and -purge>regapps found 17 applications to delete.text objects.

 

 

You also have several floor plans and elevations all in one modelspace. You might consider separating things into separate drawings and xrefing into this one drawing. Also, you use quite a few layout tabs in your drawing.  While this works, recovery later might be an issue if your drawing gets corrupted.

 

I see that you have grid turned on. I suggest turning that off unless you are actively using it.

 

Lastly, you have a bunch of xref missing many of which are raster images.  This many raster images will also make things a bit slow.

 

I have attached the "cleaned up " drawing. Please let me know if it behaves any better for you.
