AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Lagging And Cursor Flickering
Oct 23, 2010
Specs:
Autocad Civil 3D 2011 (64 bit)
AMD Athlon(tm) 64 FX-62 Dual Core Processor
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 260 (Graphics Card)
8 gigs of DDR2 ram
Dual monitors
Windows 7 64 bit
The cursor (crosshair / mouse) flickers constantly when I am moving the mouse around inside the autocad work space. If I draw a line the flickering gets even worse and it starts to lag slightly. The computer meets all of the recommended requirements as far as I am aware.
The CPU never goes above 45% usage and the RAM never goes past 21% usage. So the computer does not seem to be overloaded especially just trying to draw a line. All the drivers are up-to-date. Is it possible there is some sort of compatibility issue going on here or something I am overlooking?

When I go to draw a polyline, it feels like the snap mode is on and it takes forever to select my end point. It's almost as if it is lagging behind. I did not see this problem until I upgraded to 2012 last week. Going back to 2011, it seems to be doing the same thing.

Software: ACAD LT 2010. Recently I upgraded to a new computer and Windows 7, from Win XP. Now ACAD is lagging and dragging. Also, sometime it takes forever to open a file.
Here are my new computer specs.

I'm having a flickering cursor on my CS3 photoshop. This is version 10.0. It disables some functions in PS. I can't type anything in the top bar fields.

When painting with the paintbrush the cursor flickers between the round brush size cursor to an arrowhead. The paintbrush continues painting as it should, but the cursor flickers constantly between the 2. This is a visual annoyance but doesn't seem to affect performance.
I'm on Photoshop CS6 (latest updates) on 2008 Mac Pro 3,1 with OS X 10.6.8.

I am attempting to use 3ds Max 2013 at my job, and I have run into a rather painful bug/problem. Every time I open the curve editor, my cursor starts flickering between normal pointer image and hourglass, the buttons in the top of the editor flicker randomly, and I cannot select and type anything in the input boxes in top or bottom. All this flickering lasts for about 10-20 seconds, which is not a long time if it just happened once, but I have noticed that it happens after every time I move a key. What 3ds Max goofed up to cause this problem?

I am encountering a problem using AutoCAD Civil 3d 2012. When finishing a certain command and going back to the ribbon, my cursor does not want to go out of the modelspace. So i can't click any command in the ribbon, or in any other program outside of AutoCAD.
Even when pressing escape to stop a command, nothing changes. Using the viewcube solves this problem for one time. But every time I draw a line or even zooming, the problem comes back again.

Our cursors are pausing for about 2-3 seconds when mousinging over a point, it seems like it is struggling with the rollovertip tooltip information. It doesn't happen on other objects, just points. If we turn rollover tooltips off there is no pause at all. But we really like the rollover tooltips and it would be a shame to have to disable a feature to be able to move around a drawing efficiently.

I've seen this bug for several versions and it's still present even in 2014. After viewing a corridor section, doing an inquiry, then clicking the Close button to get back the corridor is not able to be selected. It's "invisible" to the cursor. The only way I've found to get back to normal is to zoom out a bit, do a regen all, then a save. That's the only way to get the cursor to select the corridor again short of restarting C3D.
I can't recall what version I first noticed it in, but I think it was 2011 or 2012.
EDIT: Forgot to say this doesn't happen every time. I can't pinpoint what changes between tries, though. Usually, once it happens and I do the previous steps I can select it for a while. Then the bug hits again and I have to do the steps again.

Is there any way of determining your cursor position in plan when you are working in a profile or visa versa? I also work in 12d and as you move your cursor on an alignment or profile you can exactly see the position of the cursor in both layouts/views.

When you hold your cursor over a surface it will display a window with different surface elevations if there is a surface where your cursor is located.Is there a way to make it display all of the different surface elevations rather than just 6, because I have a few more surfaces that wont display their elevation. Or is there a way to set the order in which they show up? I can get to see what I want to see if I isolate the selected surfaces but sometimes it takes awhile to load up the corridors, etc..

Yesterday (3/20/12) AutoCAD started lagging really bad when starting or ending certain commands (like "line") and I tried various things that didn't work first and then looked to see if I had gotten a recent windows update. Sure enough there was one right before the problems started. I did a system restore back to an earlier time and it fixed it right up. I actually had to restore back to 3/13/12 because for some reason it didn't want to restore to 3/15/12.

Hardware:

NVIDEA FX 580
Our company purchased two brand new computers and upgraded to Map 3d 2011 and it has resulted in major time lag and running slow issues. We use a 15mb city map as are main drawing file and in AutoCad Map 2004 it runs smoothly. After the upgrade thing are running very poorly. Selecting and deleting files that could be done in seconds in 2004 now can takes a 1/2 hour. The program also seems to get stuck periodical on a selected item , requiring restart. We have upgraded all the drivers and I have tried several different display drivers. I have saved the map as a 2011 file and I have repaired it. I have tried upgrading to Map 2012 but the problems persist.

I am currently drawing some roof tiles for a house in 3d. I moved the tiles to another drawing so i could get my machine to focus on the tiles rather than walls, windows, doors etc. My machine is still lagging hectically. Basically i would like to know is there a way i can perhaps make the roof tiles file smaller or a "block" of it so that my machine can run properly and i can import it into the drawing with the rest of the house. The roof tiles drawing is 40.3mb big. My machine isn't inadequate-hopefully.
I am on a mac running vmware fusion with windows 7 32-bit and when opening editing the roof tiles file my cpu % spikes to roughly 70% then backs quickly down to 50% and will not increase with Autocad not responding-leave it for a bit and it loads but lags a bit when i orbit, copy or whateva then back to not responding.

Since last week (4-19-2012) Our users have been expierencing cursor issues and freezes with Civil 3d 2012. Entering commands in the command line very slugish, pressing the shift key to select / de-select, trim, open osnap menu, ext.
We are running Win7pro6d bit quad core machines with 6gb ram, ATI FirePro V4800 (FireGL), Intel Xeon ES640 (2.67 ghz). AutoCAD Civil 3D(SP2) and all hotfixes installed.
This problem just started one week ago and It started with the cursor jumping all over the place when crossing objects. However; we now have very sluggish command line entry, 2 - 3 seconds after typing till it shows up, and cursors freezing when pressing the shift key for any reason.

I'm running Autocad 2013 Civil 3d, when I open a particular drawing the cursor turns to a circular shape as if it is downloading something, but it is actually not loading anything. This circular cursor does not let you do anything with the drawing, you just have to keep hitting esc until it gives you a fatal error message that says "FATAL ERROR: Cannot write to undo file (probably disk full)" and it kicks you out of autcad. How to get rid of this ciruclar cursor?

At work we have recently upgraded to Inventor 2013 Pro, Although Inventor isnt the most widely used program in the company so its hard to find time to do some set up and get it going smooth. My problem is that i am working on a large process plant all done in inventor and the file is quite large. It takes along time to load and is really laggy when inside the model. Now the model is based in my local office's server my question is if i was using Vault would it keep a local copy on my C:// rather than trying to refresh all parts from ther server. If it is a matter that when working with large files using Vault is the better option than i will need to take some advantages

-Inventor 2013 SP1.1 (Issue)
-Inventor 2011 SP2 (No Issue)
Templates have been coverted up from 2011, keeping copies of the old templates in separate folders all under the same parent directory.Have 2013 mapped to the folder with updated templates located on a network drive. Total of 18 temolates including the standard templates.
Computer specs:
Win 7 Pro 64bit Service Pack 1
Intel Core 2 Quad Q6700 @ 2.66GHz
8GB Ram
NVIDIA Quadro 2000
The Issue:I start Inventor 2013 or open an .ipt/.iam ect. I now want to create a new file so I click the "New" Icon.Inventor freezes for 10-15seconds and finally shows the templates.After that if you click on any of the templates it freezes instantly. Or if you scroll the browser bar down to navigate the folder. 15-35 seconds
After selecting the correct template it freezes for about 15 seconds.For those keeping track Thats 40-65 seconds just to open a drawing...
For Inventor 2011.Click, Click, Click. Open...Takes maybe 5 seconds.

As of about two weeks ago, Photoshop cs6 started to really lag. It is practically impossible to do anything. My laptop is 3 months old, and i barely have any documents on my desktop. Why its lagging.

I never had lagging problems of any kind using Photoshop CS3. But I recently reformatted my computer, reinstalled PS CS3, and wow... the redraw and updating was awful! Brush strokes took several seconds to show, for example.
I looked into my preferences for the culprit. I changed the amount of RAM Photoshop should use, reordered my scratch disks. Changed the # of history states & cache levels, checked & unchecked enable 3D acceleration... Each time I changed one preference, I closed & reopened photoshop. No go, same lagging!
I kept asking myself what was different. Then I remembered: after reformatting my computer,
I updated my ZoneAlarm from version 7 to version 8. I had never before used this updated version of ZA with CS3.
So in ZoneAlarm, I went to
Program Control,
Programs, and saw that whereas the "Trust Level", "Access", "Server", and "Send Mail" columns were all set to question marks for Photoshop 7 (meaning ZA asks me before allowing Photoshop 7 certain permissions), several of those same options were listed as "X's" (completely blocked) when I reinstalled Photoshop CS3.
ZoneAlarm 8
never prompted me, as version 7 did, about certain permissions for CS3! And it didn't occur to me to look into ZA's settings when Photoshop was virtually unusable. My clue came from a CS4 troubleshooting tip here: temporarily disable one's AV and see how PS behaves. The difference after disabling ZA was astounding!
All this to say, you may not have to replace your AV if you find it makes Photoshop lag. Photoshop CS3 worked smoothly after I changed my AV's permissions.

I've just rebuilt my PC with the following specs:
CPU - Intel I7 920 2.66ghz Quad Core
Mobo - Asus P6T Deluxe OC Palm Edition
RAM - 6Gb G.Skill DDR3 PC3-12800 (1600mhz) (9-9-9-24) RAM in Triple Channel setup
GPU - BFG nVidia GeForce GTX280 1024mb OC2 Edition
HDDs - Seagate 500GB 32mb Cache SATA II Main drive, Western Digital 500GB 16mb Cache SATA
II Documents Drive, Western Digital 320GB 16mb Cache SATA II Photoshop Scratch Disk
PSU - Hyper Type M 880W
Case - Coolermaster Cosmos
I am using Windows XP Pro x64 Edition and the 64bit version of CS4.
I'm quite pleased with the system so far, it pretty much obliterates everything you throw at it without blinking an eye. However, I am absolutely stumped as to why the in the world Photoshop CS4 (and CS3) are running as if my system is 10 years old...
So here's what's happening:
After rebuilding my system with the above specs I have installed Photoshop CS4 and have opened up a painting I have been working on. I zoom in and the screen redraw is sickeningly slow. I hold space and drag the canvas to navigate around it, and again the redraw rate is terrible and results in what I can only describe as more like a render in something like 3D Max than simply dragging the canvas in Photoshop. While the brush control is smooth for the most part, when painting using several quick strokes I get a lot of lag after a little while which manifests as my brush strokes not registering and then all of a sudden happening at once.
Now, I have CS4 installed on my other system at my parents house which has the following specs:
Intel Core2Duo E6750 2.66ghz (OCed to 3.1ghz) CPU
Asus P5KE Deluxe Motherboard
8GB OCZ DDR2 800mhz RAM
BFG nVidia GeForce 9600 GT OC2 Edition
2x Seagate 250gb HDDs (Not in RAID)
And with this system, Photoshop CS4 works great with the only exception being the OpenGL support not being supported.
I have updated all of the drivers on this i7 system. I've even reinstalled older versions of the video card driver and still I get lag. I've uninstalled Nod32 Antivirus, Comodo Firewall, stopped Diskeeper from automatically defragging and ended lots of uneeded processes but I still get this problem. I've uninstalled my Wacom Tablet drivers and used the mouse in Photoshop and that hasn't helped. I've reinstalled 3 older versions of Wacom Drivers also to no avail.
I've even formatted and tried a fresh install.
Also, I tried reinstalling Photoshop CS3 and get similar problems. Only in CS3 there is no issue with the redraw rate, only it lags all of a sudden while trying to navigate an image with space held down and dragging on the mouse or wacom pen (or a blank canvas for that matter) then it will freeze the images movement then suddenly jump.

I looked through the discussion groups and couldn't find exactly what I'm looking for. Our office recently upgraded their server. Since this happened, my dual monitor blinks when highlighting objects or zooming in and out. Plus, it adds extra menu bars (gray horizontal bars).

I've found recently that Photoshop (CS5) is lagging or completely crashing when I use any of my brushes. I'm doing a painting in one document at the moment and it's near on impossible because every time I make a brush stroke it takes 10 seconds or so to recover. And now it's got to the point where I'm trying to smudge things but every time I make a stroke it crashes PS completely.
I've turned off Enable GL drawing and I've made sure I don't have too many programs running in the background on my computer, and I'm unsure what else to try. (I have Windows 8, if that's relevant).

Lately my CS5 is lagging and slow. Total available RAM is 1674 and I'm letting PS use 1290 - is that not enough???? I've been using this program for years and just within the last month it's started acting up. Sometimes in Cam Raw it locks up and requires a total system shut down.

I'm running Corel Videostudio Pro X2 on Windows XP. I haven't had any problems doing a straight video and using some inserted images. For the first time I've tried just to use images (18 of them) with a music score--no video at all. I set everything up at timed intervals for the images to appear at certain points in the score and it seems to be fine. However, when I do a full playback, the images begin to lag in the range of 1-2 seconds behind the score. When I scroll back over just a short little section of one image, they sync up again. It doesn't stay in sync for longer ranges (playing from beginning to end--about 3:30 total). I have tried rendering in HD and the same thing occurs. This is for Youtube.

Video and overlay track are lagging during project playback Does not lag when clip playback. I need to preview all the tracks to make corrections. Also note that when fully rendered it does not lag. Even when playing single track lag is noticable. audio, vocal, and title tracks are fine when playing back. Its just Video and overlay track that are lagging

For some reason, recently, when i paint in pshop CS2, every 10 or 12 strokes, my computer lags and I have to sit here and wait for it to catch up, and draw the last couple of strokes I made. It is REALLY irritating when painting for he obvious reason that it delays creativity. I have a dual 2 ghz G5 with 7 gb of RAM AND 550 GB of space, so it CAN'T be my comp. Any Ideas why it's laging so badly.
Also, in the last couple of weeks, for some reason, pshop is redrawing my pixels on the screen, making it very difficult to paint. Basically, when I paint, or drag the screen around, it keep residual pixels from my last angle, and they don't move until I drag my brush through them, making it impossible to paint accurately. I have to zoom out and then back in to clear it.

Indesign and Photoshop open files very quickly, but illustrator while opening any type of file—whether it's an AI Cs6 file or EPS file or SVG file—there is at least a 20 second delay.
