Hey,
I'm Runing C3D 2014, It's just started running really slowly.. It takes me nearly an hour to create a quick profile from a polyline. Any suggestions on settings or do I have a bad install.. I`m sure my computer can handle this.
Alienware MX17 Intel(R) Core i7-4930MX CPU at 3.00 GHZ 16.00 GB Ram Windows 7 Ultimate 64 Bit Ge Force GTX 780M Graphics card with 4.0 GB RAM
When I open task manager it only shows my 4.2GB of RAM Being used while processing which doesn`t make sense because it takes flipping forever to load anything!! Any Help is appreciated! ------------- KM |

Unfortunately your graphics card is not certified (not supported) in AutoCAD 2014 so you are running without hardware acceleration. See: http://usa.autodesk.com/adsk/servlet/syscert?siteID=123112&id=18844534&results=1&stype=graphic&product_group=3&release=2014&os=8192&manuf=1&opt=0" rel="nofollow - http://usa.autodesk.com/adsk/servlet/syscert?siteID=123112&id=18844534&results=1&stype=graphic&product_group=3&release=2014&os=8192&manuf=1&opt=0 Try to manually switch on graphics acceleration (3DCONFIG). ------------- Vladimir Michl (moderator) ARKANCE - https://arkance.world" rel="nofollow - https://arkance.world - Autodesk Platinum Partner |

You can also try the TURBO utility - see Download and Tips. ------------- Vladimir Michl (moderator) ARKANCE - https://arkance.world" rel="nofollow - https://arkance.world - Autodesk Platinum Partner |

I guess it doesn't matter, sir. One hour to create a simple profile is really too much, so I bet the OP has an hard disk issue (highly defragmented, no free space for TEMP files, and so on), or a network one (dead mapped drives, for instance).

The certification itself maybe doesn't matter but the resulting disabled hardware acceleration does matter a lot. With 16 gigs of RAM, I think AutoCAD doesn't need too many hard disk read/writes. The TURBO utility would show of it is only a problem of AutoCAD configuration settings or a system problem. ------------- Vladimir Michl (moderator) ARKANCE - https://arkance.world" rel="nofollow - https://arkance.world - Autodesk Platinum Partner |
