Mouse cursor lag

Anonymous
Not applicable
I'm having a problem on my home computer running ArchiCad (Version 11 & 12). I get cursor lag while working in plan views. My cursor seems to stick or lag while tagging objects and manipulating objects. I can go to 3D views and I have no problem with the cursor movement. Any ideas?

You'll get better replies if you state your computer, ram, graphics card, mouse type if special [especially any strange mouse driver] and any other factors that you might offer.

Do you have a Trace-Reference on?

The cursor has the same problem whether Trace Reference is On or Off.

I have tried a different mouse, but the results are the same.

Make sure you don't have "grid snap" activated - this can create an effect similar to cursor lag, and can cause all sorts of issues selecting objects.

I have the same problem whether grid snap is activated or not. I've been a ArchiCad user for over seven years and have never had this problem before.

What recent change did you make to your system?

I haven't used ArchCad on this computer in months. The last time that I remember using it on this computer, months ago, it had the same problem.
