solidworks drawings

[SW2010]

I am trying to make a general arrangement drawing of a large assembly which contains about 2000 parts and subassemblies. due to the computer (although with the correct and uptodate hardware etc) becomes slow. I was hoping opening assembly is large assembly mode helps but no gain. does anyone know any setting in solidworks 2010 that can assist making faster drawings.

What are your system specs? Are you opening up locally or across a network? Have you tried opening with selective view?

I dont know much about my comp specs but i know its about 4 years old comp in the company and cant change it soon. we are opening files locally for sure. i did not understand meaning of opening selective view. is it a feature of SW 2010

When you go to File->Open, you can choose to open in Quick View or lightweight.
I suspect, though, that your computer is a bit short on power. Go to Start->Right click on 'My Computer', then properties. You'll see your system specs there; OS, Hard Drive, RAM, etc. Let us know what it says.
