I work on a mac and run parallels for autocad. My issue is while working the autocad the crosshairs drag behind my hand movement. when the pointer is moving thru menus it works fine and when i go back to the work space the crosshairs drag behind.
View 5 Replieswhen working at this workstation, the crosshair gets very 'Jumpy' and slow as it gets near or cross over a dimension line. is there possibly a setting that is on or off that is causing this. It has nothing to do with the file. It happens on any file on this computer, but if i switch to a different workstation all is well. And this is a much faster workstation than the other. The issue also happens to a much lesser extent when crossing any drawing object. The cursor (crosshairs) will pause slightly. It is a very long pause when near the dim lines though. it is almost impossible to select or snap to an object or line if it is near a dimension line.

We will still get the cursor icon if we hover over properties and paletts etc. We have the latest service pack and ribbon hotfix. Searching hasn't come up with much.
View 4 Replies View RelatedWhen I open ACAD A14, the workspace is displayed black (I had it set on white). When I zoom out, the screen is white again, but when I move the cursor, the crosshairs are displayed as a black square and leave a black trail, like for example Internet Explorer on the old Windows systems. I can use all functions normally, however my drawings are not properly displayed through the black. I had it running today already, without any problems, but my laptop was not connected to the internet, now it is. Things I tried: Reinstalling AutoCAD Restarting my PC Disconnecting my laptop from the internet and reopening AutoCAD A screenshot is attached. I am a first semester student and the plan is for a supporting structure of a hall that is due on friday, so its nothing that takes up a lot of computing power or anything.

when i zoom in to paint on a pictures, usually at 100% or more i can paint ok but when i press the space bar down to use the hand tool and go back to painting all of a sudden there is a delayed slow pen drag on the screen.
I am creating new tool palettes for lab equipment blocks. I was able to create a new palette and drag and drop blocks into it. When I go to create other palettes I am unable to drag and drop blocks into them. I am able to drag and drop into the tool palette I previously created and then drag and drop into the new palette.
But when I shut off Autocad and reopen the new palettes disappear. How can I create a new tool palette and it works, then create other tool palettes and I can not drag and drop to it? I am using Autocad Architecture 2013.
We have a computer that has Arch 2011, 32 bit on windows 7 on it. About 6 months ago, when you go to plot, the plot dialog box takes up to 5-10 minutes to open. then if you change ploters or setups, it takes another 2 minutes. It just spins. when you are ready to plot, the plotter or copier starts as normal speed.
then another computer Arch 2011, 64 bit on window 7 start doing it about a week ago. the only thing was that windows updated the HP plotter driver and windows. It will do the same thing as above. Our copier is not an HP and the driver was not updated, but it takes forever to open the plot dialog box.
Either computer can publish. However, in all other programs, the files printer box open and print normally.
Is there a setting that was changed in autocad?
We're testing some new machines running Windows 7 64-bit with both AutoCAD Architecture 2011 and 2012 64-bit installed.
When dragging and dropping a model space view onto a sheet, instead of the folder with paperclip symbol, we're getting a circle with a line through it prohibited symbol. This only occurs when our project files are on our network. When we use them on a local machine this does not occur.
We cannot drag and drop onto new sheets either.

We are running on a Novell Linux Open Enterprise Server network. We previously had a problem with not being able to open any sheets if another drawing was open, which we resolved by disabling Novell File Caching. We are also now experiencing unhandled e06d7363h exception errors with any type of file access in the Project Navigator. This crashing also does not occur when the files are on the local machine.
I am using a pdf file as an xref however while panning/zooming and some other basic commands, the response is really slow.I have already tried using a jpg file but I loose the ability to grab the end point of a line. I am able to grab the end point of a line while using the pdf.
I have 4 GB of ram and nothing else open, so I cannot see this being the problem
When I import a layout from template it takes about 5-10 min of ACA not responding before it will actually import the layout from my template file. It will do this on any new file the first time and then it will work just fine after that. This was happening with ACA 2013 and now with 2014.
View 4 Replies View RelatedWeve recently updated our systems at our office to OS Windows 7 Pro 64 bit. Im currently using AutoCad Architecture 2010. We also upgraded to Adobe Acrobat X.
The iissue i have is when plotting to PDF (selecting Adobe PDF as printer) it takes a long time to spool. Sometimes it takes as much as 4 mins before it completes the PDF. Other times it just crashes.
This is the first im using Acrobat X. Previoulsly i was using Acrobat 8 without issues. My thought is there might be a compatibility issue with the new version of Adobe X. Or perhaps its a simple as the settings im using. The other user in my office is running the same system, but hes using Acrobat 9, and of course his works flawlessly?
The temporary work-around is Exporting to PDF within AutoCAD.
I am having an issue when opening and saving files is very slow when I have a project active in the Project Navigator.
If I have an active project, and I open a file via Project Navigator or Windows Explorer, the process hangs for 15-20+ seconds at the 'Opening C:xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.ac$' point, where it is creating the temporary file.
If I 'Close the current project' in the project browser and open the same file via Windows Explorer, the process takes less than a second.
One of our employees logs in remotely to a local PC running Revit via terminal services so that all work is done on the local network. The employee is acting through screenshots. All worked well using 2009 Revit or Architecture on XP machines. However, we added new faster Windows 7 machines with 2012 products. The PCs are all 64 bit with 16g RAM and a 22mb internet connection.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI was drafting away, and all of a sudden my crosshairs and pickbox disappeared. Once I move the mouse there's nothing in my drawing plane. I can type commands, and when I move the mouse up to the menu area I can pull down menus. I've opened up other drawings and the crosshairs and pick box are there.
What can I do to resolve this? Of course it happens during a deadline.

I opened a multi-tab CAD document, and my crosshairs disappear when I go into a viewport from paperspace. I can still select things, but I can't see what I'm selecting because the crosshairs are gone! The viewports in the other tabs are fine, I can see my crosshairs in those. I've looked for some setting that accidentally got changed, but can't figure it out. I'm running AutoCAD 2010.
View 9 Replies View RelatedMy crosshairs are not moving smoothly in my workspace. They are jumping big spaces. I typed "snap" and click "OFF" but it had not effect. I can't click on objects.. or draw from.. my mouse moves smoothly in every other application of my computer..just not in CAD workspace.
View 9 Replies View RelatedIn AutoCad 2012 I have a large drawing with 30000 entities in it. Most times (althoguh not always), after saving, the crosshairs then vanish and I have to exit the drawing and open it again to get them back.
It doesn't happen in all drawing files, as far as I can tell it is just this large one.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have recently been fighting an override of some sort that doesn't want to go away. As an example, for basic copy command, I would normally select my object to copy, type C, hit the space bar, and select my object again to copy to new location. With this override, I select my object, type C, hit the space bar, and in the command line, this appears:
Command: c COPY 1 found

I am working with files from an architect and when I open a file with xrefs they all have these big crosshair/boxes all over them. I can choos edit in [lace and delete the crosshairs but there are a lot of xrefs and it will take for ever. They are not on the original drawings that I can see. One with crosshairs and one without.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a co-worker that wants to rotate the UCS ICON and the CROSSHAIRS in model space but not the actual view on the screen. On my machine this is what it does when I use the UCS command. On their machine it rotates everything. Is there a "variable" that controls this?
View 3 Replies View RelatedMoments ago my crosshairs in the model space decided to rotate. I tried to undo, but apparently the damage is done.
I came across a thread on another website about trying UCS, world & plan etc which I tried.
While this did rotate my crosshairs to be straight and normal again, it rotated all of my drawings I have numerous sections on the page and unfortunately they all became rotated.
Is there a way to rotate the crosshairs and not change my drawing?
why my crosshairs stutter after I select an object? I first noticed it after the AutoCAD release that added vertex control options to plines. Crosshairs hang for a second or two after selecting an object that has vertices. Seems like CAD is evaluating the vertices.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI recently installed AutoCAD 2012 and have noticed that my crosshairs are moving as if a grid is turned on. I checked my settings and have turned everything off however, the crosshairs continues to move in "jerk-like" movements.
How do I change this?
On occasion when on a layout tab and making a few changes in model space and I preview while model space is still active, crosshairs disappear when I exit preview. So I then save, close and reopen, it is then back to normal.

One of my co-worker has this problem with his cursor's crosshairs. When he moves his cursor the crosshairs are like blinking or sort of flashing. It's not that big of a problem but it's just getting anoying in a short while.

How to stop this or why it seems to be scaling up the crosshairs .
I am using an ati 6950. (yes i know its not a suggested card) but it runs great other than after 20minutes to an hour worth of use it will freak out when you hover over an object and that object turns to dashed lines. The crosst hair will turn into like 50 diagonal lines and start smearing on the screen. I went in and changed to options from DASH to THICKEN on hover. This has been working for about an hour now.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a large drawing with 5 meter contours that are 2D polylines on elevation. In Civil 3D 2012, when the crosshairs touch a polyline the drawing hangs for quite awhile. I've cut a piece out of the drawing so it is 28mb instead of 121mb and now the hang time is much less but it still does it. It does not happen in AutoCAD 2012.

In a drawing, the directions aren't pointing at a 90-degree angle with relation to the command ribbon above it. It's rotated a little clockwise, as are the crosshairs. How do I get the crosshairs and viewcube to be parallel with the command ribbon? I don't need to rotate any objects in the drawing, but I think this is messing up what I see in my viewports in the layouts.
