Hi, I am using AutoCAD 2000i to draw furniture.
I am using a AMD Athlon 1.46 GHZ computer with 256 RAM and 16MB graphics.
I have been drawing shaded 3D objects and viewing them using the orbit command.
Sometimes the drawing breaks up and you can see through parts of it.
Generally the drawing takes ages to generate, load and save.
Occasionally the curved lines become straight and regen stops working.
I then have to cut and paste the drawing into a new drawing file to get this to start working again.
Two questions. One, can a slow pc corrupt drawings in this way?
Two, does anyone else have this trouble?
Thanks

Hmm, that sounds strange Vernon. Not sure but I would bet that a newer, bigger video card might help. How big are your file getting to be? I know for a fact that r2000i can do some pretty good solid 3D stuff but this sounds kinda weird. Tell you what, e-mail me a file and I'll take a look (PM me for the e-mail address). I still have 2000i on my machine so I can look at it and see what's up 
As for your system..the CPU should be OK but I would get a bit more ram and a better video card. My spare PC is a AMD 1.1 GHz but it has 768 mb of ram and a 64 mb GF MX440 video card and can run just about anything I throw at it. It ran ADT-2004 pretty well. Sluggish when the files got big but workable. What OS are you using? If not atleast Win2000 Pro then that might be part of the problem as well. Good luck |
