I was just assigned a new computer on which they loaded AutoCAD Mechanical 2010. It is a new Dell Precision T1700 with an i7-4770 CPU, 16GB RAM, 240GB SSD local disk and an Nvidia Quadro K600 video card running on Windows 7, 64 bit.
My previous computer was a 5 year old Dell Precision T5400 running on two Xeon processors, 4GB RAM, 320GB HD, and an Nvidia Quadro 4600 video card running on Windows XP 32 bit.
AutoCAD-wise most things worked find on the old machine; not so on the new one.
One of the problems I have is AutoCAD crashes when I am zoomed in too close when I try to copy, move or scale our company title block. When I say zoomed in too close I mean I have to be zoomed out so maybe 20 to 30 borders would fit on my monitor and the title block takes up less than 5% of the space the border does. It is zoomed out so far I cannot get the snap to corners of either.
The first maching they bought had an AMD video card and it was doing the same thing so they (management, Dell, AMD, AutoDesk) came to the conclusion it was an unapproved video card and driver causing the crashes.
This card is supposed to be approved and I am using an approved driver (9.18.13.3182) plus Nvidia Performance Driver for Autodesk AutoCad Mechanical 2010.
The constant crashes are costing valuable time and I need to find a way to solve this problem. I don't know if this is actually a video card/driver problem or not, but I need to solve the problem as the crashes are killing me.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
