General troubleshooting Verify the System Requirements and that AutoCAD Updates are installed. If one solution does not improve performance, proceed to the next strategy: Try the solutions in the categories in order, testing AutoCAD each time. If the network has been eliminated as a cause - go to the Hardware and System solutions.Are the files on a network Server - begin with the Network solutions.Are the files on the local machine - begin with the Hardware and System solutions.If the issue occurs with any drawing file::.If necessary follow-up with the Hardware and System solutions If the problem only occurs with specific drawing files, begin with File Troubleshooting.If additional troubleshooting is necessary review the scenarios: Solution: Begin with the General Troubleshooting section. Drawing tries to connect to a network file i.e., external reference, drawing standard, etc., which cannot be opened or found.Slow Internet connection, when working from remote.File is stored in an unsupported working location or in a folder that is syncing to one.Non-specific issues caused by docking stations (when using laptop computers).Monitors chained together via USB connection.Dual graphics systems not using or utilizing higher end graphics card.Graphics settings may not be compatible with a remote system.A graphics card is not certified or is malfunctioning.This includes amount of RAM, type of graphics card (GPU), and the central processing unit (CPU) in the machine. Computer specifications do not meet the criteria outlined in the System Requirements for the version of AutoCAD in use.The components are placed with high coordinates (thumb rule: > 100.000).A file has saved a lot of unneeded named objects, including blocks and registered apps.

A file has unresolved external references.
