In August I posted a blog article entitled:
Exiting AutoCAD with Markup Set Manager open leads to slow down over time
Recently my AutoCAD 2007 slowed way down. I had no idea why. It was painful. I believe it was Bon Jovi who said "Your love is like bad medicine. Bad medicine is what I need." As it turns out, I had to follow my own advice and take my own medicine:
My FixedProfile.aws file had grown to 163MB. The file can safely be deleted. It only contains user profile settings related dialog positions and sizes. It is programmatically created if missing. I deleted it and am back to normal. I reverted to default dialog box sizes and positions, but I had not changed many of them anyway. At first I couldn't recall the title of my posting, so I looked through the DWF Publishing - proof that the categories on this blog can be a life saver.
