ways to speed up drawings
(OP)
I have a very busy part and my rebuilds etc... are dreadfully slow. What are some of the simplest ways to speed up a drawing for rebuilds and just simply dimisioning the part? I have changed the image quality without much luck. Im not shading the drawing. I know its mostly the part, because I have never had to wait on drawings before. thanks

What are your system specs?
Without seeing the part it is difficult to give a specific answer. Have you run the Feature Statistics tool?
One way might be to save the part as a parasolid to create a dumb solid, and use that in the drawing. But that means you would have to add all dimensions manually, and of course the drawing would not reflect changes to the original model.

You can try Save As > Save As Type Detached Drawing.
the model data will be saved as lines in the view but to update after changes you'll need to save as SolidWorks Drawing again and suffer through rebuild time. but if you require no rebuilds Detached may help.
Your file size may become bigger but the performance should improve.

What kinds of views do you have on your drawing? Can you post an image of your drawing so that we can better understand what caused the issue?

You mention that it has 1000s of turns and coils. If you create a config that suppresses a lot of that, you should see an increase in speed, while allowing you to keep all of the details in the part and any assy that use it.
