AutoCAD 2015: Resolve Graphics Issue

by Justin Doughty

Recently I’ve had a number of support calls regarding AutoCAD 2015 having some graphical problems such as mouse cursor trails and various glitches on screen.

This problem relates to compatibility between graphics software and AutoCAD 2015 (further explained here)

However the fix is very simple, this issue has been addressed in the newest service pack from Autodesk:

AutoCAD 2015 Service Pack 1

AutoCAD LT 2015 Service Pack 1

At this point, I would also recommend that the Certified Graphics Driver is installed for your graphics card. This can be found using the configurator below:

Autodesk Certified Graphics Hardware

These versions of the drivers may not be the newest, however will be clearly labelled if tested as working by Autodesk.

These also provide a stable environment and generally have less of the glitches.
