    Default Startup time for Design Review seems very slow

    I just installed Design review on several workstations with ACAD 2007 and Inventor 11 installed. When I start Design review it takes about 3 minutes to startup. Is this normal?

    Default Re: Startup time for Design Review seems very slow

    I have AutoCAD 2007, Autodesk Inventor R11 DWF Extension, and Autodesk Design Review 2007. My Autodesk Design Review takes about 8 seconds to come up when invoked from the start menu. I have a basic laptop: 2.16 MHz CPU, 1GB RAM.

    Default Re: Startup time for Design Review seems very slow

    When I don't have anything else already running, Autodesk Design Review comes up in about 2 seconds. So 3 minutes is not normal. Do you have any usual network settings where it might have trouble trying to check for updates or something like that?

    After using it for several days the problem of starting up dissapeared.. it's working fine now. I guess it must have been a networking issue of some kind..
    thanx for the help anyway!

    Default Re: Startup time for Design Review seems very slow

    Our design review is very slow startup and the machine i tryin to run it from doesn't have internet access. We had the same problem back on one of the earlier Design Reviews. I remember a registry setting to change to make it stop looking for updates. Anyone know where that is for 2010 so i can stop this persistent bug in the Design Review software?

    Logic would say that this procedure should work for the 2010 version, but I have not tried it yet.

    Disable periodic update check by setting the following values:
    Code:
    HKLM\Software\Autodesk\Design Review\Settings\AutoUpdate\DoNotShowAgain=1
    HKLM\Software\Autodesk\Design Review\Settings\AutoUpdate\InitialCheck=1
    HKLM\Software\Autodesk\Design Review\Settings\AutoUpdate\Locked=1
    This will also disable the marketing dialog box when first starting the application.

    ...and of course the real question is why do we have to keep hacking the registry to do stuff like this?
    Why isn't this an option in the setup application
    Why isn't this added to the CAD Manager Tool for those of us who want to manage dozens or hundreds of installations? On second thought, the CMT doesn't really do anything but create a REG file anyway... I'm still holding out hope though...

    We don't. There is an Installation Guide for ADR 2010 that describes various deployment strategies, including preventing update checks.
