Cloud on cursor

I am working on my Elevations, and every time I do something a cloud pops up on my coursar and I have to wait 30-40 seconds to do anything.

I have to create visible joints in a wall and do this by placing an shape that is invisible.  It cuts a joint in the wall.

I need to copy it over and over and in hangs me up.

 

I was also placing small slabs as paint lines above a slab and same things.  

This is painful.  

Never had this before v27 and have just noticed it lately.

Do you mean a cloud like this?

As far as I know you should only see this in 3D Perspective view when you are trying to place an element above the horizon line.

 

Is your Archicad build up to date?

I know what the symbol means - saving to the cloud . but what cloud as I do not have a cloud account with Graphisoft

It has nothing to do with saving to the cloud.

In 3D perspective mode it means you are trying to place an element in mid air and there is nothing for it to anchor to.

 

I have never seen this in an elevation.

I was just asking if that is the same cursor that you mean when you say 'cloud'.

 

In my opinion it should not happen and I would restart my machine.

I would also make sure Archicad is up to date with the lates update.

If it continues to occur and in all files, I would then contact my local support.

Machine rebooted and it only happens after doing something then there is the cloud logo and a slow down.

Keeps happening and causes you to stop for 10 sec +/-  do something and 10 sec.....over and over
