when importing details from window manufacturers I find that they often need to be exploded to change color/pen. The exploded drawing often contains thousands and thousands of entities. I then convert the details to symbols and use the unexploded symbols in my data cad 17 drawing. This works great but it seems to cause a massive slow down which is worse if there are xrefs involved. I have purged symbols, turned off nesting and dynamic snapping and am still working at turtle speed - any ideas to make this work better?
