    one thing you can try if they are shapes is to remove the outlines

    on occasions I used to get complex vector PDF and they were shapes but each imported with an outline of 0px which really slowed things down

    but it may not apply to what you are doing...
    Hi Handrawn ,

    I just noticed that by grouping and then ungrouping all the drawing, each number i select afterwards shows actually as one shape on a layer but made of lots of non straight lines and dots and so are all the other numbers and other shapes. Please check the picture attached that shows also when view quality is set to minimum.

    when you select the object what does it say on the infobar for [set] line width - is it none, 0px, many, or a value ?

    if it is 0px you could try setting it to none...

    It says none for the numbers and other shapes have measures in differents pt.

    it may not be the same kind of data... you could experiment on a copy file, but if the outlines have values then you may find it does not help

    If you group the imported graphic into a rough hierarchy then Designer will find it easier to navigate through the drawing and it will be able to keep parts as bitmaps for quick rendering when you're not actually editing them.
