The program runs without any error ::::Įach time the program starts i will receive one error on the first command i type something like “unable to check spelling no dic file”… However!!! it does check and correct my spelling, and give me the same ‘near command’ list to choose from, so heck knows.At any time you can return to the default drawing environment settings that were installed with progeCAD. As i was not able to uninstall the material library without uninstalling Autocad, i simply navigated to the 500mb ‘materiasl’ folder and removed it, zipped it onto my external hard-drive. I do not use the material library - all 3d modelling and rendering i do in Rhino, Autocad i only use for linework. You will be able to remove about 2gb this way. i started with the ones that take up the most space and seem to offer things i do not need. Using the above delete / start program method, navigate to ‘program files and send various folders to recycle bin”. Lighten Autocad Arch 2017 size on disk by 2+ gb. In total my Autocad arch 2017 uses about ~300mb of RAM on opening an new drawing file, which i think is acceptable. However, using this method i was able to reduce the running processes of “acwebrowser.exe” to TWO which take up about 1100 kb of memory each. At the end there will be about seven “dll” files which you will not be able to remove, as the program will either not start or crash. One by one send the files and folders to the recycle bin. Make a backup copy of all files and folders.
There are two in my case, “mvchap 12 and 11?” but only one seems to ever run.
Using the task manager, navigate to the “acwebrowser.exe” folder.

The next trick will require some trial and error by end user. Acadarch2017 will now run without any “Acwebrowser.exe” processes running. Always backup these files in case of problems. In the properties Dialogue change all permissions on “Acwebrowser.exe” to deny and read only for all users. Remove all files and folders except the “Acwebrowser.exe” file.

Open the “Acwebrowser.exe” folder, copy all files and folders to a zip folder for backup. ****** BACKUP registry and all folders, perhaps even licence folders****** If this is not needed by the user then there will be a way to disable all “Acwebrowser.exe” processes and limit the acwebrowser.exe” processes to TWO…. It does however run the pretty ‘welcome screen’ where you will find the ‘new drawing tab’ and the 360 stuff. = i wont defend autocad, but an objective look at this tells you that a program can only get better if the developer knows what needs improving, for example if one was to log and collect data on the most common ‘help searches’ one would know what functions people find the most difficult, and may be able to improve their usability somehow.ī] “Acwebrowser.exe” is not needed to open and run Autocad Architecture.

in all likelyhood, this is all it does, plus collect some metadata which autodesk would use to improve end user experience. I cannot find a way to start the program without the splash, ie, run the splash in the background, or load the program without the splash. seems to be a ‘general’ gui program, which shows the ‘start-up / splash screen’, ie.,: the organisation of the program as it is loading. why “Acwebrowser.exe” and “acwebrowser.exe”.
“acwebrowser.exe” is best found by opening task manager and right click+select ‘show process’ and in the ‘process tab’ right click+select “open file location” “Acwebrowser.exe” can be found in the “program files\autocad~\Acad2017~\Acwebbrowser” folder. I will refer to them as “Acwebrowser.exe” and “acwebrowser.exe”. In autocad Architecture 2017, There are two ‘ACWEBBROWSER.EXE’ EXECUTABLES:

My method is a little brutal, and may require some trial and error depending on install and user. In this post i will also tell how i have reduced the install size of my Autocad architecture from 4.5~ to 2.1gb~… !!!!!! NOTE i have disabled info-center in the registry, and did not install Autocad ‘desktop app’ or ‘Autodesk 360’ I have managed to get my “Acwebrowser.exe” and “acwebrowser.exe” down from seven running processes to just two.

In case they ‘delete’ the post, i will post the text here too:Ī saga as no-one seems to be able to come up with a solution - as to why acwebrowser and Acwebrowser are necessary, what do they actually do and how to disable them. Hi, I am sharing my post with you, i give instructions on how to disable acwebbrowser and how to strip autocad back to what is needed / necessary…
