Unfortunately my drawing is under an NDA so i cannot share it.
I have a new laptop and i have just moved from 2020 to 2022 after a couple of years of not wanting to change software in the middle of ongoing projects. As I am getting up to speed i am noticing some surprising things. The biggest among them is that I just tried to snap an unconstrained dimension in a viewport and it took 15 seconds for it to complete the snap. I figured some other function caused a hiccup so I repeated the dimension to make sure, but it lagged again.
I am not a tech expert, but I think my laptop should be very up to the task.

The drawing is a bit problematic. It is a composite of lots of people's work from different drafting platforms over many years that really needs to be regenerated by a single person with a single approach to the process. It is meant to be a ground plan of a large area, but some sections are modeled, some flat lines are nurbs unnecessarily, lots of lines are doubled, etc. Zooming out and zooming in is fairly laggy. I still don't see why what i am doing should slow things down other than I have not really gotten to optimize the graphics card settings. I suspect the drawing is a big part of the problem; I have had other drawings open that hav enot experienced this trouble. But I feel like there should be enough power in my machine that this should still not matter.
I have tried looking at the forum to find settings preferred for recent editions, but i mostly find that they refer to an article form 2014. Is there anything more modern that might be of use? I took several of the settings from the 2014 thread about Nvidia cards and applied where they looked like they belonged. My NVIDIA settings are below.
