Mouse Cursor Performance Issues

We have recently had several support queries regarding mouse cursor performance issues in 2011 AutoCAD products. So, if you are experiencing these issues too, then have a look through the items below to potentially help/fix your problem:

• Turn off Selection cycling.

• Turn off Show Tool Tips (Options > Display TAB > untick Show Tool Tips)
• Turn off Show Rollover Tool Tips (Options > Display TAB > untick Show Rollover Tool Tips)
• See the Autodesk paper below, which discusses cursor performance:

• Lastly we are aware that changing the Windows Theme to Classic can help, as this turns off some of the Graphic Acceleration settings.
