Problem: Display Auto Track tooltip significantly degrades performance. The text box popup pauses all cursor movement for 0.5s-1s on my 8740w (other user reports 3s pause on 8540w).
My thread on Autodesk has been open for a few weeks, and this other user is the first to chime in as having the same issue. The fact that he has an HP with Nvidia graphics makes me wonder if it an HP issue. So please try this and report back.
1) Under Options>Auto Track Settings, toggle Display Auto Track tooltip
2) Open any drawing and make sure Osnap and Otrack are turned on. Start a line and move your cursor around.
3) Note whether you see a significant difference in performance with the tooltip on/off. In my case, when it is on, snapping and tracking causes a significant pause in movement while the text box tries to display information. Turning the tooltip off removes the text box and snapping and tracking go back to normal.
4) Report here with the following information:
name
AutoCAD version
laptop
GPU
CPU
Y/N (regarding problem described above)

Am I the only one using AutoCAD 2011 or AutoCAD LT 2011? If you do not experience the problem described in the above post, I am just as interested in hearing from you.

I do have a 8540w with quadro fx1800m and 8gig ram and i'm having the same problem in Autocad 2010!!
It's kinda frustrating!!! I can't work with this.
On Inventor i have no problem!!!

download the GPU accelerator driver from nvidia for autocad, this fixes the issue for me at least.

Sounds like my general tooltip error (Dont have autocad) some apps lag if a tooltip is shown, for example if I run a movie and a tooltip is shown then it all lags heavyly. So think its a vista/win 7 problem or just bad drivers from Nvidia
Did the same if I play in window mode and a tooltip is shown then my game fps is cripled

At least part of the problem is Aero. Here are your options.
1) Most AutCAD versions allow you to to "Disable visual themes".
right-click AutoCAD icon>properties>compatibility
If you are unlucky like me, you will not be able to select this option (note how it is gray in the pic above). I think this has something to do with Windows 7 Pro64 due to replies I've received from other users on the Autodesk forums. But Autodesk doesn't seem to care to look into it. This leaves you with 2 other options.
2) Switch to Win7 Basic. This is pretty easy, my only problem with it is that I actually need Aero to be running to use one the multi-tasking programs I use in conjunction with AutoCAD.
3) You can also turn off the worst offending tool, Dynamic Input. There is a button to toggle this on/off.
This will help some, and allow you to keep Aero running which is nice for multitasking. But it will not help the Measuring tool, if you do that a lot, you really need to use option (2) above instead.
So I'm kind of stuck. Aero allows me run a small program that increases my productivity while building a model in an acoustics simulation program...(don't ask about exporting/importing 3d drawings...it only works in theory). This is how I use AutoCAD 75% of the time...pulling coordinates off drawings to build a 3d model in another program. Turning off Dynamic Input helps some, but I use the measure tool a lot too, which is still slow and jerky until I switch to Win7 Basic.

if you're using just the drawings, why are you not just importing them into 3ds max, and using that software?
