Drawings update on layout every time I blink

[Geof Gainer]

Every time I open a layout, jump from another layout and back again, jump from another app and back to AC with a layout open, open a drawing to edit some minor 2D item and go back to the layout, or take a sip of coffee and look at the layout again, AC updates every single drawing on that layout which wastes about 30 seconds on average.

How can I get AC to be less update-obsessive?!

Set the drawings to Manual update.

Or publish to PMK and link the PMK.

Our office was having this problem with 21. It was resolved when we updated to Build 7000.

That would be my first suggestion.
