Mouse pointer lags when moving.
Mouse pointer lags when moving.
(OP)
Hello everyone,
I'm new to Draftsight, I've just got this one problem at the moment and my mouse cursor/pointer lags when moving around the drawing, but moves at normal speed outside the drawing area. I've checked my mouse settings in control panel and every thing looks good. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.!

If not, perhaps the graphics card in your computer is not powerful enough for the drawing window operation.

I had the same problem, and could not find a proper way to fix it.
Right now I've also another problem...when moving object they start to move in an uncontrolled
way and after that when selecting an object the handle appear far away from the object itself.

I have exactly the same problem as george but with windows 7-64.
This problem does not manifest with windows xp 32. Any suggestions?

I made mistake in my post before. The The message is similar to GPHESQ and not GEORGE....
Sorry
RE: Mouse pointer lags when moving.
If I type a command, say "line", it takes a full 3 seconds before the mouse will respond to any input. Then I can proceed to pick points with only a brief in response after each click.
Oddly, if I click the "line" button, the initial pause in response is much shorter, however, the pause after each successive click is a bit longer.
This is on a Dell Precision M4500, quad core i7, less than 3 years old, still under warranty, and all drives have recently been updated to the very newest. This is running Windows 7 x64. This happened both under the previous version of DraftSight, and also I just downloaded the newest version, and it still happens.
I use AutoCAD professionally on a daily basis, and would entertain switching to DraftSight, but not at the expense of 3 seconds per command. If DraftSight is trying to lure us away from AutoCAD and entice us to move up to their higher end software, this is not the way to do it. This is the sort of thing that will make us run away from DraftSight and never look back.
Any ideas?

2 years of being a Draftsight user with a lot of use. however a major hard drive failure this last week has caused me to have to rebuild the whole system. Forunately had all the drawings backed up. However the new download from DS today has left me stuck. The behaviour of the mouse pointer in the graphics area renders the programme unusable now. It jerks un predictably with the movement of the mouse and detaches, plus more fundamentally nothing will show in the graphics area. I can just about get something to "select" blind and then it shows as a dashed line with blue handles. I cannot change the background colours any longer but I do note some additional icons in the tool bars.
Have Dassault made a serious error in the updates? Have they upgraded the system requirements?

Draftsight now operates roughly the same as it did previous to the HDD crash.

I could find was to change the integrated graphics on the motherboard (disabling it from the bios)
to a graphic card installed in the AGP slot. No more problems....

Updated graphics card and now smooth sailing.
Thanks to Iksa82.

I have a similar problem with Draftsight. After any commands when you press enter it takes 2 to 3 seconds to work.
AutoCAD on the same computer works well.
Re-install did not work.
Any suggestion?

Playing around, I have found that DraftSight needs "Use visual styles on windows and buttons" and "Enable desktop composition" options turned on.
RE: Mouse pointer lags when moving.
C:\users(user's name)\AppData\Roaming\DraftSight
Then delete all the contents of this folder (all folders and files)
Then start again Draftsight.
The problem is solved!
Draftsight builds again all the contents of that folder, compatible with your current computer settings.
RE: Mouse pointer lags when moving.
Anyone know the equivalent location in Linux? What are the file or folder names in that location?
Draftsight worked ok before but now I get mouse pointer lag when moving over a few concentric circles, severe lag when moving over dimensions on a rather simple drawing about 50-60kB size.

I'm running DraftSight 2015 SP3 (the Free* version) and got that mouse lag, only on the drawing screen.
By running nvidia-settings from Terminal, going to "OpenGL Settings" and unmarking "Sync to VBlank", the mouse lag was gone.
My Linux Distro:
Thanks a lot!

RE: Mouse pointer lags when moving.
Without the sync to vblank option works fine.
Thanks a lot!!!
RE: Mouse pointer lags when moving.
Does anyone have any ideas on how to fix this? It's unusable at present.
Thanks.
RE: Mouse pointer lags when moving.
Many thanks for the tip. I had the same problem in Linux Mint with an Nvidia GeForce GT220 and unmarking "Sync to VBlank" option (accessed via command line "nvidia-settings" did the trick.

The Windows version works fine on the same machine but it's a pain having to switch to Windows for this one program.

I needed to make some drafsight plans.
I desperately sought a solution to the problem, reported the matter to DraftSight, tried disabling "Sync to VBlank" but it is only valid for NVDIA cards, and I have a ATI.
I came across a hack which is not ideal, but allowing the use drafsight without too much difficulty
before running DraftSight, simply unplug the mouse, once the program has started, plug the mouse, and there:
it works!!!!
the only thing that stopped working is the zoom with the mouse wheel, but you can zoom with the command bar or the touchpad

I wish Dassault would put their 'A Team' on it.

I had to delete everything in ~/.config/DraftSight/, purge DraftSight and reinstall the 2016 SP0 Ubuntu .deb.
Works fine, although I lost all my settings, but I can deal with that in order to regain a functional mouse/cursor.
