Hello all, recently switched to AutoCad 2018 from 2007
On the same PC? 2018 requires a lot more horsepower than 2007 did.
It also seems very slow in switching layouts.
I had a user with the same problem yesterday. Is your layer palette open? If so, and you close it, does the time to switch layouts improve?
For this user of mine, it's like night and day. With the layer palette open, it takes about 5 seconds to switch layouts.
With the layer palette closed, it's virtually instantaneously.
Having said that, the layer palette being open should not be that much of a burden on this. My user only had about 200 layers, not 8000.
You could literally see it painting each line of the palette each time.
I ensured my user had the recommended display adapter driver also.
