Try turning off the Hardware Accelerator in AutoCad, that was the cause for my AutoCAD falling out the whole time, especially with xrefs. Is the connection to the server an Ethernet cable or wireless? I found the ethernet works better than wireless (at least 10x faster) 

Hope this helps:)

Anyone else experiencing similar problems?

Does it take long for AutoCAD to open up when first started?

Do you notice your hard drive "churning"?

Is it a platter drive or a solid state drive?

Is Windows "indexing" enabled?

When did you first notice the problem?

Have all updates been installed?

Do you receive files from outside sources and if so do you "borrow" content from the drawings to use in drawings you have created?

I have to check with my IT technician to do that. we are in a very secured corporation and we don't have a lot of maneuver.
About my way of working with CAD is there things I should avoid?! From my point of view, if I have a powerful computer and everything is up to date, I should be able to use CAD as freely as I want without any bug don't you think?

Seems thorough enough.  Did you bother to test a drawing with the anti-virus program disabled?  Some AV programs aggressively target DDL's.]]> Wed, 09 Aug 2017 15:57:55 +0000 https://www.cadforum.cz/forum_en/forum_posts.asp?TID=12422&PID=35054&title=slow-autocad-2016#35054 <![CDATA[Slow AutoCAD 2016 : It seems like the message I...]]> https://www.cadforum.cz/forum_en/forum_posts.asp?TID=12422&PID=35052&title=slow-autocad-2016#35052 Author: Castle9

"Moderator" forum?  Or "moderated" forum?

If you wrote the next great Canadian novel then break it up although I doubt you could get that verbose.  Most questions can be answered rather simply.

Alrightso here it goes:

 

Everydrawing are on a server which I'm connected to, so no local, and theconnection speed is superfast. Tried local but it still lag.

 

Weuse Xref in all of our drawing: In the Architetural.dwg, the structure is anxref and the axes are an xref in the structure.dwg. The Architetural.dwg is anXref in the electric and mechanic .dwg

 

Whenit starts to lag, it's in every drawing.

 

Iuse these commands to clean up every drawing: _Audit, -purge*appsenReg, purgeall.

 

Allpath are fixed. Support path are on the server and updated.

 

Ihave layer filters in all my drawing as well and layer states for the layouts.I also use sheets sets in all of them.

 

Allmy drawings are started in a main drawing where I got everything in it fromblocks/Dyn blocks to layer to text and annotation style . Afterthe drawing is created I purge out everything I don't need in it. This maindrawing is 4520kB and the other drawings sizes goes from 500kBto 1600kB.

 

Here'swhat I did to trouble shoot the problem:

https://knowledge.autodesk.com/support/autocad/troubleshooting/caas/sfdcarticles/sfdcarticles/Cursor-is-slow-or-jerky-in-AutoCAD.html

 

OurIT support uninstalled CAD and reinstalled it. They repaired it. Theytried to install it locally. Updated all the drivers. tried DirectX9 instead of11. One of my colleague tried AutoCAD 2018 and its the same thing, slow ashell. Also switch graphic card from Nvidia Quadro 600 to Quadro K2200.

 

Wealso have Kaspersky antivirus running on all of our PC.
