1. A display system for accelerated graphic rendering of a design layout view, the design layout represented by a plurality of graphic objects defined by respective geometry data therefor, the system comprising: a database storing the geometry data, the geometry data for each of the graphic objects including location and geometric portions; a large object module actuating retrieval of the location and geometric portions of the geometry data for each of the graphic objects within the view selectively classified to be a large object, the large objects selectively classified according to user-defined criteria; a small object module actuating retrieval of the location portion of the geometry data, exclusive of the geometric portion, for each of the graphic objects within the view selectively classified to be a small object, the small objects selectively classified according to user-defined criteria; and, a rendering control module coupled to selectively actuate said large and small object modules to generate a composite image of the design layout view for each display of said view, the composite image including: a geometric reproduction of each large object within the view based on the geometry data retrieved therefor; and, at least one indicia visually indicating a location of each small object within the view based on the location portion of the geometry data retrieved therefor and substituted for said small object.
