AC17 painfully slow in detail layout sheet

Anonymous
Not applicable
I am experiencing super slow editing / operations in my detail sheet layout.
36" x 48" sheet layout with 42 detail cells. I have only added 5 details so far and things are getting unbearably slow already.

I am creating the details in the project map / details area at 3" = 1'-0"
am not using the detail tool - am just using the window space there to
draw details (2d lines & fills mostly) using information from past jobs that I have copied into the window (whole 2d detail sheets brought in)

When I finish a detail have been using the "save view and place on a layout" option.

As mentioned so far have placed about 5 details, 2 of which I needed to reduce the scale from 3" to 1 1/2" and so those were asigned a new penset to compensate for the change in scale and another has a placed view of a figure tool image of a 3d detail I created in my plan view.

Didn't place the figure tool image directly onto the layout because if you do that you can't manipulate the image boundary like you can a placed view.

I tried undoing that operation, but it had little to no effect on the sluggish environment there.

I discovered yesterday that the reason for sluggishness in section editing was the result of the 2D hardware accelleration being on full. Once I set it to off, everything was zippy.

It apparently changed when I loaded a previous Work Environment looking for some cosmetic changes I had made previously.
