why do my acad 2k drawings open so sloowly?
(OP)
hi i had to format my hard drive and ever since, autocad 2000 drawings take 5 minutes to open.. even the start up drawing which is on my hard drive
any ideas would be greatly appreciated, i can play a whole game of solitaire in the time it takes to open some of our huge drawings
operating system; windows xp pro
processor:intel p4 2.0 g
ram: 256 m

RE: why do my acad 2k drawings open so sloowly?
You can perform a diagnostic check on your drawing files with the AUDIT command. This checks for and corrects errors. If the system variable AUDITCTL is set to 1 (on), ACAD automatically creates an audit report that lists corrections made. This report is given the same name as the drawing, but has an ADT file extension. It is not necessary to leave ACAD to display the audit report. Simply pick Program>Accessories, and then Notepad. Another possibility is that the page file is missing. ACAD creates a page file for the least-used portion of your drawing, and opens the physical memory for new drawing data. These temporary files are given the file extension of AS$. These are vital files and must never be deleted while working in ACAD. You can check in the file directory usually C:\\Windows\temp using windows explorer. Hope this helps - John

auditctl is set to 0
a new drawing takes almost as long to create
i'm using just straight autocad 2000
i don't think it's a pc problem, because i can run other programs while acad is opening and those programs run normally

If you are running other memory intensive programs along side AutoCAD, open your Windows Task Manager and take a look at what your system is doing to make sure it isn't your computer.

also i found a ton of layler manager filters.. not sure how they got there as we don't use them... is there a way to totally disable these things? i read in the help file that acad looks at each filter and layer when it opens a drawing, so it will take longer if there a million filters
