oluv Posted September 11, 2005 Share Posted September 11, 2005 we have 2004 at work and it is a pain in the a** to use. it sometimes takes hours to switch from layout to model space or it doesn't switch at all and hangs, or it crashes etc... horrible! is an upgrade to 2006 worth it? has anyone already experience with it. i am missing the time of acad14 to tell the truth, although not so easy to use for 3d, it was the fastest and unproblematic one. i also liked acad2000 but it had some problems with XP and crashed with plot-settings and didn't display text-styles at all. 2002 was a step backwards with the introduction of acad today and the stupid acad wizard. but what changed in 2005 and now in 2006? or should i go back and use 14 again?

STRAT Posted September 11, 2005 Share Posted September 11, 2005 i doubt it's the acad version but more down to your hardware settup/configuration. i've never suffered a stability problem with acad, and i've been using all the versions for the last 15 years pluss. i do miss r14 though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oluv Posted September 11, 2005 Author Share Posted September 11, 2005 well p4 with 3,2 ghz 1gb ram is not enough to run acad? i made projects with acad14 on a notebook with pentium1 100mhz and 32mb ram and although it took ages, i never suffered from any crashes. but now every second file is acadstk.dmp and acad.err i don't think it is the computer. acad has changed a lot in the last years. it is very system-hungry now, too much for my belief. when i pan around in layout or switch between viewports i am at 100% processor usage all the time but nothing really happens.

STRAT Posted September 11, 2005 Share Posted September 11, 2005 ah, i didnt say your system wasn't powerfull enough to run it, i said your hardware settup/configuration might be the problem. perhaps it's not optomised. other than R13 i've never suffered any stability problems.

mtutaj Posted September 12, 2005 Share Posted September 12, 2005 acad 2002-2006 have all been stable with all the projects I;ve been working on.. Do an audit on the drawing.. there could be a database error in the dwg. that has been the only time i have seen an issue with a dwg in the last couple of years. Had to fix one at a client not too long ago, and the same block was copy clipped and pasted on all the drawings.. what a mess.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harjeet Singh Posted September 12, 2005 Share Posted September 12, 2005 r14 was the fastest in my opinion. i even fond 2004 great. the key to smooth experience is better hardware integeration ( a good branded machine would do), original softwares and a lots of RAM. i never had such a problem in acad except some rare fatal errors with huge 3d models. i'll go for R2004.
