I just reinstalled this on a new machine. The machine is light on memory for the moment. Does anyone know what settings would help with speeding up the program? Some commands work fine but others lag about ten seconds...for instance if i use match properties or label buildings, it takes ten seconds before the command executes...
The only thing I can think to do would be to make sure you go to your task manager and kill everything you don't need while you are running it. Memory is extremely cheap and easy to add which is what I would do immediately. Drawing with a lag absolutely sucks.
It maybe a licensing issue. If your software is still being considered to be on another machine, after a set period of time, the calls on the machine with new installed software will get sluggish, like molasse. Have you noticed if the intellicad commands are slow too, or only the Carlson commands?
thanks for the replies, I ordered more memory but it wont be here for a day or two...no licensing issues, I switched the machines registration without problems. The machine has 8 gig of ram which is the recommended amt for autocad oem.. some commands such as area by interior (even on a small rectangle) take 10 sec or more to start.
Seems like I have read about others having this issue and someone said that the fix was to be sure that, under settings, you have selected "Set UCS to World".
just so everyone knows the outcome, my new memory arrived today (16GB) the program functions now perform without any lag..its still a bit slower loading than my old machine but the program works fine once a drawing is open. if it was me I would say that 16 GB is the minimum I would want to run the OEM version.
I'm using the carlson civil suite 2014 with autocad 2014 on xp home with 4 gb ram, and it is really slow, too. I'm experiencing the said 10 second lag a lot of the time. I ordered a 64 bit win 7 machine with 24 gb ram a week or two ago, and was expecting it to speed things up when I get it, but I thought the lag was other problems, but it's probably just not enough machine.
I hope I don't have a lot of problems running my older 16-32 bit programs on the new 64 bit machine, but I've got to go that direction, anyway, just have to deal with it.
just so you know, both my machines are 64 bit and I have had very little problems...I don't use many older programs though..one problem to note is win 8 and mobile device center, you have to jump a few hoops to get that working I hear, but so far I have not jumped to win 8..
