Why is it that turning off Hardware Acceleration sometimes speed up a system or prevent it from crashing? This seems counterintuitive. What exactly works with AutoCAD by turning it off?

I know that the (graphscr) command will change the focus of ACAD from the text window to the graphics screen, but is there a command line option to actually turn off the text window?

How to turn it off for good?
Last week I downloaded the Autodesk Design Review and for some reason I installed the DWG TrueView as well. Now, every time I open up a .dwg through explorer, True View overrules AutoCAD and thinks it has to be the one to open the file. Is there any way to turn this program off?

wondering if its possible to turn off lines inside of nested blocks.
When we tried to do this inside a heavily layered and blocked drawing, it seemed to make the file unresopnsive, unloadable, and general "autocad freezing" issues. We Reconsitituted the entire file from the ground up and found that by NOT turning off these lines inside of nested blocks (ceteris parabis) the file works fine.
We like to turn these lines off becuase different teams are working on different parts of the drawing and we like to focus on one section by turning the other off. Is this possible? Is there a better way to do this?
I'm trying to find an option to hide all constraints in a drawing, I am familiar with the toolbar option to turn display constraints on and off but my issue is that it's not a permanent toggle. Every time I change from a paper tab to the model tab or activate a viewport the constraint display is automatically turned on again and I must wait for the constraints and the drawing to generate. When playing checker I am frequently changing tabs or checking within a viewport, this is adding significant time required to check the drawing. I have not been able to locate a system variable or command to "freeze" the constraints until I want to see them again. an option to allow me to turn off constraint displays as I'm desiring or is this a Wish List item for R2014?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have been working on a drawing and out of the blue, when I opened it the other day, all this tick marks where peppered all over the drawing. I discovered they were like point marks from dimension layers that were turned off. If I freeze the layer on top of turning it off, the tick marks do go away. I am running an old version of Autocad, 2007.

Example: If you start with a circle drawn to your set 3 point UCS the quadrants are in line with the X & Y but as soon as you extrude the circle into a cylinder the UCS turns the quadrants to world, I want the quadrants to stay in the same place as my 3 point UCS position.
Not sure if it's just a system variable that need changing.
I am running AutoCAD 2012 Electrical. The source wiring diagrams I am working with have attributed blocks all over the drawing. For my purposes, I dont need to export the data, but I do need to change the drawing. When I use "Burst" or "Explode Attributes to Text" in the Express Tools menu, it does change the attributes to text. However, it throws all the data that is in in the attribute all over the face of the drawing. This is extremely time consuming to delete them as some are micro small text.
I need a command that will explode the attributes to text, turning the blocks into entities, as if there are no blocks at all.
Is there a macro or lisp file that allows you to click on a element in the xref or active file and turn it off?

I do not know how to do the folowing:
I have an object that has to be accelerated by an external force. It can freely move in space.
But when I apply the forces,the analysis complains that there are no constraints.
I don't want to constraint the object. Because that would result in stresses that will not be there in practice.
I just want to see the stresses when the forces are applied to accelerate the object.
So how to deal with this?
This problem has bugged me for several versions. I'm using 2012 at the moment as I haven't wanted to get into the fiasco of a new drawing version with 2013.Anyway, the image below really tells the story for me:
You can see the behavior of the crosshairs overlapping a drawing line with Hardware Acceleration On and Off. It's always been handy to have the drawing lines or crosshair go to the "negative" color when they overlap. However, with Acceleration ON, that behavior goes away entirely. This happens on every machine we have. It's not isolated to one machine or video card. In fact, on this same machine I have had this happen with two entirely different video cards.
So, I have to choose...hardware acceleration or overlapping negative colored lines.
Ive noticed that initially photoshop will not allow me to use acceleration, I am using a Quadro based Laptop and would really like to benefit from its GPU. I know in Premiere Pro you can edit a File called "Supported GPUs" witch will allow you to use the Murcery Playback engine fine. Is there a way to do something similar in Photoshop?
System specifications:
Dell Latitude E6410
Corei5 520M
6GBs DDR3
Nvidia Quadro NVS 3100M
I was led to believe that GPU acceleration features (like smooth zoom and rotate) were supported in the PS CS4 Standard edition. Under GPU Settings, Performance Preferences, it states "No GPU options available with Photoshop Standard". To me this is misleading advertising - I would have considered the Extended version if I had known.
Maybe this will help others not make the same disappointing assumption I have. I think Adobe should make this clear in the future. It really does make me feel slighted.
I'm a long time user of Gimp. I use it for work and my work involves editing images on the scale of 22000 x 22000 px. With the Gimp 2.8 RC1 the release notes state the GPU acceleration can be enabled with the command line "GEGL_USE_OPENCL=yes"
How do I enable this line? Is it through starting Gimp via a batch file? I'm using the Windows 64 bit binaries so perhaps this was a switch that needed to be set during compiling Gimp. I'm not quite adept at compiling programs though...
How to enable GPU acceleration (or if it's already enabled). Otherwise... other performance improving tips. 16GB of DDR3-1600 works with a cache size of 10GB but my 1090T @ 4ghz can't push pixels fast enough.
I was just making a short, 1:12-long video encoded as H.264 in an MP4 wrapper. I had edited the video in Premiere Pro CC, and was exporting through Adobe Media Encoder at a framerate of 29.97 FPS and a resolution of 1920x1080. I wanted to do a test to see how much GPU acceleration benefits me. So, I ran two different tests, one with and one without. The one with GPU acceleration finished in 2:09. The one without it took 2:40, definately enough to justify using GPU acceleration (my GPU is an NVidia GTX 660 Ti which I have overclocked). I am sure my benefits would be even greater in most videos I make, since this one had relatively few effects. However, I checked the file sizes out of curiosity, and found that the one made with GPU acceleration was 175 MB in size, and the other was 176 MB. While the difference is pretty small, I am wondering why it exists at all. I checked the bitrates, and the one made with GPU acceleration is 19,824 KB/s, whereas the other is 19,966 KB/s. I used the exact same presets for both. I even re-encoded the videos again just to test it and verify the results, and the second test confirms what the first showed. So, what I am wondering is: What is it that made this possible, and could this be used to my advantage in future productions?

Edit: Installed newer Wacom drivers 6.3.2w3 which seems to have brought CS6 back to CS5s performance level after a reboot. Although brushes do still lag, especially the art brushes. Still not thrilled with performance yet.
Photoshops brushes are still faster with GPU accell off though.
I currently own a laptop which I use heavily for image editing. It is powered by a very fast Core 2 Duo 2.4GHz and a power-efficient yet perfectly capable Intel X3100 integrated graphics chip.
My chip supports all of the necessary Shader versions, OpenGL 2.0, etc. ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intel_GMA#GMA_X3100 ). However, when I visit the Preferences menu to enable the OpenGL acceleration, I am presented with a grayed-out option telling me I may need to upgrade my drivers or graphics card.
I have tried new driver versions. Certainly I should not have to purchase another card (impossible in a laptop in fact) seeing as my chip supports all of the requisite features.
I recently purchased Photoshop CS6. I've installed on Windows 7 and run updates. I've also today updated my graphics drivers to latest version (catalyst 12.8). I have an AMD Radeon HD 7700 which has 1024MB RAM. This card is on the list of supported cards.
When I first load Photoshop I can look in "Preferences -> Performance" and see that the GPU has been detected correctly and 'Use Graphics Processor' is ticked.
However after loading any image, including using "File -> New" to open an blank white image, the GPU is disabled. Looking back in "Preferences -> Performance" it tells me:
"no gpu options available with photoshop standard"
What can I do about this?
I currently have a Dell Precision M6700 which I had replaced my old laptop with in attempt to fix this very problem. I'm using Windows 7 x64 with Photoshop CC x64. Whenever I attempt to use my Cintiq 13HD with GPU acceleration enabled, the brush lags horribly on the smallest of canvases. Disabling GPU acceleration fixes it but I use many of the tools such as canvas rotation greatly. I've checked everything from spacing in brushes to trying different drivers.
My drivers for my 13HD are the latest and as are the drivers for the Firepro M6000. I'm extremely confused as AMD states that this is a certified adobe Photoshop gpu and the FirePro line is made with excellent Open GL support as far as I'm aware. I've searched other threads before with this issue and attempted various fixes to no avail. I'm especially baffled as this is a workstation class GPU.
I did this now just PS will not work. Under the window on performance it says "Graphics Hardware Acceleration unavailable upgrade video driver & possible video card". The only thing I can find in the hardware for video is Intel (R) G41 Express Chipset (Intel GMA 4500). I upgraded the driver and I still get a fuzzy screen with artifact everywhere. This is on a desktop computer with an LED monitor.

I read that one of the potential resolutions was to turn on (or off) the hardware acceleration options. All those boxes on my performance tab are currently unchecked, but they are also grayed out so I couldn't check them to see if that worked for the crashing issue even if i wanted to.
