Hi,
>> closer analogy would the car doesn't know when to fire what cylinder and its my
>> job now to go in and get everything re-timed
What would you do in that case ... bring the car to a service center (to organise this is up to you, it's not the car's job) and let specialists do the steps that are necessary to get the engine running.
What have you done to get your AutoCAD working? Did you work with technicians knowing operating system (and environment), network and AutoCAD well?
>> I don't quite understand how so many people defend autocad religiously when it performs like this
No, I don't defend crashes as ok, not from AutoCAD or any other software. I just say it's not AutoCAD which repairs itself, it's you who has to organize the steps to get it running.
>> You say I should have to run all these optimization routes, but I don't have a degree in computer science
No, I have not said you do have to run the optimizations, but you have to take care/you have to organize that a person who knows computers is invoved to do that (in the same way as you do it with your car, why not for your workstation?
>> MS Office just works, my video editor just works, Bluebeam, Adobe, Scaffold Designer, Mozilla, Internet Explorer, etc. etc. etc, all just work fine
How many hours do you have AutoCAD open and in working progress, how many hours do you have Office open and working (in the same manner as CAD, so up to 20 mouse clicks a minute in the graphic area, starting dialogs, closing dialogs, starting multiple (maybe 100 commands within a hour) ...
In most cases the truth for CAD workstations is: not any other software has a higher rate of module loading, mouse events, adding/modifying/removing entities as a CAD system ... and so it is hard to compare.
E.g. Outlook ... it's open and active all the day and at the end of the day you might see in the taskmanager that it used maybe 10minutes of your processor (kernel) time ... in AutoCAD you can get that done in 11minutes (instead of the whole day).
Again, noone here is stating that AutoCAD is a bug-free software (if you like I get Adobe Photoshop crashing in 3 seconds, just about "all other work fine"). But it's up to you to start to solve things, you can give us details, we give you suggestions what to try to get it working (or you ask someone with more computer experience to do that job's for you). If you just tell us that AutoCAD is not usable and you don't want to spend time, let it be, get another product and make the experience that other software also have there up's and down's, it just depends on how deep you use them ![]()
