Laggy animations because of Autocad 2013?

Hello, I'm having some problems with Autocad 2013. I've had it installed for almost 5 months and it never gave me any problems until now.
First of all, I was experiencing an unbearable lag with almost any animation (mission control, scrolling, switching between desktops, dock animations, etc) but, after doing some research on the internet, I realized it was Autocad's fault and the solution was to opening and closing it. That almost solved my problem.
A few minutes after opening and closing Autocad I realized that, even though the dock and "desktop switching" animations were working fine, scrolling was yet kinda choppy and mission control was having the same problems than before, so I tried opening Autocad and checking if the animations were working well whilst it was open. As a matter of fact, that was the solution of my problem, and once I've closed the Autocad the problem had returned.
Does anyone have any solution to it?? I don't get why this is happening because it was working fine until today. It's annoying.
I have a mid 2012 13-inch Macbook Pro with an i5, 4GB RAM and 256GB Samsung 840 Evo SSD running OS X 10.9.4.

It's a known issue with AutoDesk applications. I don't know what causes it.

"Laggy" animations on Mavericks

I'm having "laggy" animations from the system like mission control, switching apps and others. I read on Mavericks causing problems with scrolling and Mission Control some solutions that did not work for me. I've had a similar problem on 10.8, tried a bunch of things that I don't remember, what I do remember is that the problem was solved completly after I updated to 10.9. So from the day 10.9 was released until yesterday my MBPr was fine, today when I started using I noticed the problem. I instaled AutoCAD 2014 yesterday, maybe it is the problem maybe it's not, but anyway I need AutoCAD to work...
So following John Galt's advice I'm posting here my output from http://www.etresoft.com/etrecheck:

Cool, worked here too. My computer crashed a couple of hours ago with a stuck screen (switching desktop). After rebooting it had laggy scroll / mission control etc. Resetting SMC did nothing, but opening AutoCAD fixed it. Unfortunately I only have trial on AutoCAD, so will need a new solution if it reappears after the end of the month.

Acrobat Pro and AutoCad 2013 for Mac

Hi there:
I just bought Adobe Acrobat Pro in order to make PDF files from AutoCad 2013 for Mac, but when I try to print, the option for Adobe PDF is not prompting and I don't how to set it.
I'm just using a trial version of AutoCad. I couldn't try with a trial version of Adobe Acrobat Pro, because the trial version for Mac is not available.
Could it be that Adobe Acrobat Pro is not compatible with AutoCad 2013???
Thanks,

Indeed it is not. Acrobat X 10.1 supports ACAD 2011 (32-bit), as indicated on the product matrix:
http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/compatible-web-browsers-pdfmaker-applications.html
Each version of Acrobat includes PDFMaker plugins for the versions of these applications which are on general release at the time the Acrobat version is developed, so you'll have to wait a while. Adobe doesn't develop plugins based on beta versions, so with ACAD 2011 releasing in March 2010, it made it into the X build (released Nov 2010) but ACAD 2012 did not. ACAD 2013 was only released to market this March so there certainly won't be any PDFMaker support right now - beyond that I can't comment, sorry.

I downloaded AutoCAD 2013 for mac and then the macbook started to glitch! WHY????

Hello,
I downloaded AutoCAD 2013 for mac and after 20 minutes work in the Autocad my macbook pro with Retina display 13 inch (OSX 10.9.1) started to glitch.
Then I deleted this program from mac, but it is still glitching. When I am moving windows, the picture on display is just breaking and after few seconds it is ok. Moreover, the Multi-Touch Trackpad's three, four finger function is also glitching.
Did it happen because something wrong with my graphic drivers which could be replaced by the AutoCAD
Please help me with this!!!

Reinstall AutoCAD and relaunch teh program. AutoCAD leaves the GPU in a bad power state in Mavericks, which causes problems.

Laggy animations Mavericks

I got a Mac Pro 2009. I got it a month ago and installed mountain lion on it, the animations were very slow and it didn't work at all. I didn't understand it because it should be compatible. So I decided to wait for Mavericks. I did a clean install and whiped the whole hard drive, but still there are these laggy animations. When I scroll, launch launchpad, start safari etc. It is terrible, I can't do anything. I have already tried a lot of troubleshooting, but nothing works. I need to get it fixed as soon as possible. Please help...

Here are some ideas for why animations are may be slow:
• Competition for the Boot Drive --
If everything you are manipulating and all the System and Program information is on one drive, it can induce a "traffic jam" around that drive. The drive heads are sent all over the drive getting a little of this and a little of that, and everything slows down.
The easiest way to speed up a Mac Pro is to have the Boot Drive (with only System, Library, Applications, and the hidden unix files including Paging/Swap on one drive, and all User data on another drive. If the Boot drive is a low-latency SSD, that gives an even bigger improvement.
• A failing Boot Drive--
Disk data are recorded with an error correcting code that can fix a few bits in a burst. When a data block cannot be read on the first try, you may suffer up to 1,000 re-tries in an attempt to get correctable data. If it eventually does get correctable data, everything proceeds. If not, you get I/O error.
• Competing processes --
Web-based synchronization, such as iCloud photo sync or DropBox are notorious for using up bursts of compute cycles doing un-needed synchronization.. You may find you get better results if you shut those off while trying to run animations

Autocad 2013

Hi all,
I recently sequenced Autocad 2013 (part of the Building Design Suite 2013). All went well and Autocad is functioning properly except for two errors.
These errors are report to my logs as being blocked by the software restriction policy. I checked the sandbox location for restrictions but there are none. I've spent a lot of time figuring out why this is happening, but with no result.
Anyone an idea on this matter? Help would be greatly appreciated.
Error 1: Cannot execute a program. The command being executed was C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\V4.xx\csc.exe
Error 2: Failed to execute Exchange Host application C:\Program Files\Autodesk\AutoCad 2013\AdExchange\AcbrowserHost.exe
This program cannot be run because of software restriction policy

App-v 5.0 Sequence AutoCAD 2013

Hi, I am currently trying to sequence autoCAD 2013 according to tips from
http://www.naevette.com.au/sequencing-autodesk-autocad-2012-x64.
However, during the sequence, when I started AutoCAD installation, program will notify me that Dotnet4 section is missing and installation will be stack there for ever.
Has someone tried this? Please help!
THank you !
Thomas

All of the 2013 and most of the 2012 AutoCADs appear to be un-sequencable at this time, either under 4.6 or 5.0. I have been working a ticket with MS support for about 7 months now and we are not getting anywhere fast on it. The symptoms are
that the app at the client immediately quits after launch, issuing an app specific error that is different on each version of the app attempted, but often it is a complaint that it is not installed correctly. Procmon traces reveal no unusual file
or registry issues leading the app to make this complaint.
Something is amiss, as earlier versions work OK. I have ruled out licensing, VC Runtimes, and (I think) framework issues.
I would suggest punting on sequencing this until you see that someone else has success.

When the pc has a pcie16x slot, then I believe you should look for one of the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 2xx ....

Laggy Animations

I updated my iPhone today to iOS 4.2.1; however, I have found that the multitasking animation ("lifting up" the screen) and the "exiting an app" animation are laggy. I know this isn't a huge problem but does anyone else experience this? If you did, was there a way to fix it?
Thanks

you are more fortunate then me, i have been having this lag since the 4.0.1(it's the firmware i found when i bought iPhone 4) and i think it isn't a hardware problem because the lag are different within in correspondence of the firmware. For example before (4.1) the multitasking switch animation wasn't so good but i opened apps with simplicity, instead, now the animation of the multitasking is good but when i open and close apps, there is lag(4.2.1)

Pinch to home on ios 7 - laggy animation?

Hi Guys,
Just updated to IOS7 on my iPad 4 and have noticed that the pinch to home gesture animation has a lag just before fully retuning to the home screen.
I use this gesture all the time and now the animation is no longer as smooth as IOS 6. I've tried this with 'Reduce Motion' on as well but it's the same..
The animation is fine however if I use the home button - anyone else noticed this?

That's exactly my problem, I updated last night and since then its walking on my nurves. is like I can never again pinch my screen without seeing a flick/lag. I really want it fixed

Macbook restarts says because of problem

my macbook often restarts and says because of a problem but doesnt report what that problem is,

Hi,
I've got the same problem and I hope you can help me.
Macbook Pro mid. 2010 (osx Mountain Lion) restarts on its own "because of a problem".
It's been a major issue in the last months, causing big troubles and preventing me from working, as it happens quite often in the same day.
Here's what I already tried:
1. upgraded the RAM memory to 8 Gb;
2. formatted the system;
3. migrated the older data from Time Machine.
This didn't cause the problem to stop. So I thought it may have been a software problem and:
1. formatted again;
2. didn't migrate data using Time Machine, but copied just the few files I needed most from another backup;
3. installed some programs (Office, Adobe CS5 suite, AutoCAD 2013), but this time from another source.
Thank you in advance,
g

Please convince me that animating in Flash doesn't suck.

I'm a freelance animator coming from 3DS MAX and Maya, trying to do some flash (cs4) animations because I'm desperate for work.
There are things that bug me about animating in flash. I'm going to list them out, and if you have an answer or solution please reply and help me out.
To give a frame of reference, I am tasked with animating an intricate snake-like creature, made of several dozen separate pieces (symbols? objects?). All I am allowed to do is move, rotate, and scale them using "classic tween", I can't mess with the library, move pivots, or rearrange layers. I know that bones are in flash now, and would help with a lot of my frustrations, but the client does not want it to be rigged with bones for whatever reason. (I'm guessing importing into their old engine tech does not jive).
Ok. Here are my gripes:
1: I can't explain this, but the whole entire way flash works is completely alien to me coming from 3D animation. The way the key frames and timeline works is like trying to pilot an alien ship in some other dimension where nothing makes logical productive sense.
2: If I scrub the timeline to check movement, it unselects my objects, so I have to reselect them EVERY TIME?? This wastes soooo much time and is incredibly tedious.
3: Can I jump forward/back between keyed frames instead of just using < and > to go through each frame?
4: Playback is slow. What should be 30 fps plays back at 17 fps or less. Can I set it to "low quality" in flash itself..? It does not need to have anti aliased sprites while I'm animating.
4a: Why doesn't it skip frames instead of play in slow mo? At least then I could get timing down.
5: Why can't I make a simple heirarchy of objects? I have to animate a neck made of 10 pieces (and another neck, and 2 tails).
6: Selecting multiple objects means I can sort of make a heirarchy, I guess... but do I really have to move the pivot every time? This is especially time consuming when everything gets unselected when I scrub the timeline.
7: Is there an Autokey? Do I have to select the exact frame of all the multiple layers I want to keyframe.. press F6, and then hit Q, and only then can I start to animate?
8: Sometimes I select objects and multiple frames in the timeline are highlighted automatically. so I press F6 to insert keyframe, and it makes a keyframe on all those highlighted frames rather than one frame. This means I have to pick what layers to animate by specifically selecting their frames.
9: I can't seem to use the distort tool. It's grayed out. Is this because I'm using Classic Tween?
That's what I can think of right now. Like I said above, Please, if you have a solution or work around for ANY of this, I beg you to fill me in
Thanks!

Hey Man, I've been using Flash for a long time and love it to death, but I can totally understand your gripes. They are quite valid.
As others have mentioned... its just different. It is really amazing what Flash allows you to do with just a minimal understanding of the basics. Once you start needing more advanced control... well it gets harder. Most people who start using flash just want their logo to spin... and not necessarily build a snake with joints:)
You mentioned you use Flash CS4. It allows 2 methods of tweening:
Classic Tween: All beginning and ending positions must be keyframed manually
Motion Tween: Auto keyframing similar to after effects.
From my position and long history with Flash I greatly prefer classic tweening. When I need something more advanced I use the TweenMax / lite Actionscript engine. I find the new Motion Tweens to be a real pain, and unless I'm doing 3D tweens... I avoid them completely.
Once you start doing advanced CS4 Motion Tweens you are going to be manually adding specific Property Keyframes so I really don't find them to have an advantage unless there is something super specific I need to do.
Again its a matter of preference.
As for playback performance. Totally. If I want to make anything look good I set my FPS to 45. Most banner networks have limits of 18fps which is a real struggle to make look good. On a mac especially, the control > test movie output runs much worse then the browser plugin. Also in flash cs4 the stage has a live running instance of the flash player and it really doesn't handle things all that well. It is pretty ridiculous that a simple vector animation stutters at 30fps. I'm totally with you. The good news is the Flash Player / Plugin is getting better. Back in 98 or whenever flash hit the scene, most of our computers were running at what 233mhz with video cards with 8mb of ram. Yeah, sure then 12fps may have been asking a lot. But in this age of mulicore processors, dedicated graphics, highly optimized mobile graphics cards and limitless ram...shouldn't Flash play a little better?... YES! Current gen smartphones have more juice across the board then the desktops I started out with, higher resolution too!
I'm sure your 3D experience will carry over well. I'm sure a lot of us would like to take our flash skills to 3D. In no time you will find that it really can do what you want it to. It just takes a little time and a good deal and a ton patience;)
Best,
Carl

Laggy animations because of Autocad 2013?
