New to Autodesk Labs is the Autodesk Performance Monitor. This Windows gadget is used to gauge the virtual memory utilized by running versions of AutoCAD and AutoCAD-based vertical products. It provides a color-coded status bar indicating the level of usage of virtual memory by AutoCAD products.
To get the best performance from Windows applications, it is better to use physical memory. When running low on physical memory, powerful programs like Autodesk applications are forced to use disk as memory. When this happens, memory intensive applications become less responsive. The Performance Monitor for AutoCAD provides you with feedback on how your system resources are being used as you work with your designs. The technology preview supports Windows 7 and Windows Vista at this time. Both 32-bit and 64-bit systems are supported.
Supported AutoCAD versions include:
- AutoCAD 2009-2011
- AutoCAD Civil 3D 2009-2011
- AutoCAD Map 3D 2009-2011
- AutoCAD Architecture 2009-2011
- AutoCAD Mechanical 2009-2011
- AutoCAD Plant 3D 2009-2011
