Modeling Corridors

I have a drawing with 10 corridors in it and everytime I open the drawing it
goes through the modeling corridors and takes about 5 minutes. Is there
anyway to lock the corridors so that it doesn't do that? They are not set
to rebuild automatic.

Yes, there is, but you may not like it (at first glance anyway).
I just ran in to the answer I'm giving you a day or two ago in here, can't remember exactly which post it was, but-

In the Corridor properties, under Parameters, each Baseline and Region has a check box next to it, right at the beginning. If you turn these off, it's kind of like turning the Corridor build feature off altogether. You can leave just a small region or baseline on if you like, and that's all that will rebuild. Can go a lot faster that way.
The drawback is that any surface on that corridor also goes away, as it were, and all you are left with will be that small area left on. I've just played with this only this morning, and I like it because you can work on a small section of your corridor without regenerating the whole thing start to finish, just the part you need to work on. I'm liking it, but as I said, you may not find that that's quite what you were after. And, when you do turn all of it back on, we're right back at the "wait five more minutes while it all rebuilds" part again.

That's a great suggestion for while you are doing design work but all of our
roads are set and we now need it all on so that the proposed grade surface
has all of the road contours. I am pasting the corridor surfaces into the
PG surface and then adding breaklines for buildings, driveways, swales, etc.

You could create a detached corridor surface. Then turn off the baselines
etc.
