This isn't anything we don't normally do. I have tried adjusting the redraw options and anti-aliasing options, how often the file autosaves, changing the fill from a 100% fill to a solid, thinking it was trying to compute a pattern. Restarted of course. Only thing left is to reinstall. Anyone else been here?

... Most overtime I pick one of these fills though, I get the rainbow beach ball for 10 seconds or so. When I try to add to or adjust the edge of a fill, another spinning beach ball. Each move with the fill selected causes a beach ball and slow downs. ...

yeah...checked that too...such a great feature, too bad the software can't keep up when its enabled. The problem seems to have subsided some. It really is at its worst when I am altering a fill and try ti snap to an implied intersection between a fill and something it crosses (ie. another fill or wall). For awhile though, I was getting the beach ball every step.
Thank you...

Just a tip:
- Avoid complex fills, bitmapped and gradients.
- preferably use only the simple percentage fills or simple hatches and cross-hatches.
- avoid transparent fills (check that the background pen is not transparent)
- avoid overlapping fills
And check that you do not save views with Trace&Reference on, especially with Layout as Reference. (if you save views with T&R on, it will turn on every time you recall that view)
If you need to have T&R on, you can set it that fills, placed figures and bitmapped pictures do not show.
