About Performance Analyzer

Performance Analyzer can assist you with diagnosing operations in AutoCAD that seem slow or unresponsive.

AutoCAD performance can vary due to a variety of reasons which can include hardware and network configurations. The Performance Analyzer tool provides a meaningful way to understand various issues that might impact performance. It can help diagnose and identify performance and configuration issues and is meant as a self-help tool for helping to diagnose issues with slow performance in AutoCAD.

Note: The Performance Analyzer must be run with Administrator privileges. For security reasons, it's always important to return to operating your computer under limited privileges.

Performance issues can occur during the following operations but are not limited to:

  • Opening the AutoCAD application or drawings
  • Moving the mouse; slow, jumpy, or jerky cursor movement
  • Switching layouts
  • Plotting or printing layouts
  • Starting a command
  • Selecting objects

With the Performance Analyzer tool, you can record operations that occur during the startup and use of the program, and then view a summary of that information. While recording, a log file is created locally on your workstation. This log file is not sent to Autodesk or a cloud-based service and is deleted automatically when Performance Analyzer is closed.
