OSNAP,MOVE,COPY SLOW..WHY?
LTEMPLE
I'M WORKING ON A DRAWING THAT JUST ALL OF A SUDDEN, THE OSNAP COMMANDS
STARTED TAKING ABOUT 3-5 SECONDS BEFORE THEY WOULD SNAP TO AN ENDPOINT,
CENTER, ETC. IT ALSO TAKES ABOUT THE SAME OR MORE AMOUNT OF TIME TO MOVE,
COPY AN OBJECT. THE CROSSHAIRS DISAPPEAR UNTIL THE COMMAND IS MADE. IT'S
LIKE ACAD 14 IS HAVING A PROBLEM SWALLOWING THE COMMAND. WHAT'S UP? AT
FIRST I THOUGHT IT WAS MY COMPUTER @ HOME; SO I GO INTO WORK AND THE SAME
THING HAPPENS.

particular drawing) was all the true type fonts I was using for text. As soon
as I did a QTEXT > REGEN my OSNAP's sped up to normal. Subsequently, I
changed all the fonts to a non-true type equivilant so the problem wouldn't
happen again.

Perhaps it's because your CAPS LOCK key is stuck. (Please don't SHOUT)

Seriously, I'd say it's 10 to 1 you're using TrueType fonts. It's a known
bug.

Go to "Format->Text Style". In the dialogue box, select each style and note what it lists for a
font. If the font has a "TT" symbol at the beginning (as opposed to an AutoCAD caliper symbol), it's
a True Type font.

Also check your file size. You may have made it to your memory limits.

I've had this problem after opening a large dwg. To cure this
very annoying problem just do a 'zoom extents' after you notice
it. Works everytime for me.

Font Name, chose ex. txt.shx, then the bottom- apply -OK

Hey, you don't have to wait for the fancy little snap marker.
Just hit the button when you are close. 14.01 is supposed
to fix the TTF problem (we don't use TTF's much).

Hi Gary,
You have what could one of several problems. You did not give the full
details of how your drawing may be set up so I will run through list of
things to check to help you in tracking down the problem.
1/ Type in at the command prompt "viewres" and see what the setting is,
this system variable can be set between 100 to 20,000 the Autocad default is
100 if it is set higher set it back to 100. This setting tells Autocad how
smooth circles should be displayed. If you set it too high it can chew up
allot of video memory and slow the drawing to a crawl.
2/ List your font styles, type "style" at the command prompt and see if you
have allot of TrueType fonts being used. Reset them to Romans.shx and this
should speed up the drawing.
3/ Are you using paper space if so how many view ports do you have open or
are you using the old multiple title block system for different plot states.
If so have a look at layer manager under the bonus routines and set up your
plot states and save each one under Layer Manager and then delete the access
title blocks and view ports.
4/ Are you working in Paper Space and switching to floating model space, if
so stop doing this as paper space is mostly for plotting not editing the
drawing.
5/ Are you x referencing big time, try reducing the number of Xrefs if you
can.
6/ Have you inserted some very large blocks such as the Base Building this
can slow down snap picks quite a bit as Autocad searches through it's data
base to pick the point you have selected. Break up the drawing into Xrefs
to reduce the searching problem. As well try "purging the drawing of unused
blocks.
7/ The drawing is whopping huge. 4 meg or more. Again try breaking it up
as Xrefs by discipline and see if this helps.
8/ Drawing is mega huge 10 meg or more (electrical drawings like some of
the ones I work on are connected to data bases and can be this big) Buy
more ram. These days a 64 meg simm is only about $65.00 cnd.
9/ This list gets allot longer when it comes to hardware, check into a
faster processor video card etc..
Hope this helps
