hi,
here is a picture of what i am trying to model
what specific operation are you doing that is slow? The title of the post refers to "sketching", but the description talks about "editing the twist angel on the sweep feture". I can edit the sweep feature - it is a bit slow, but only around 5 seconds to do the edit. I can change the angle as well, and again, the change takes about 5 seconds. Can you be clearer about what the issue is with this design? This is a fairly complex sweep, so it will take some time to compute - no free lunches here...

I did not experience any crashes. I guess "slow" is subjective. Yes, this sweep is a bit slow to edit. But, as I said, this sweep is pretty complex (helix path + the rotation value), so it is not reasonable to expect instant results. But, there are a couple of suggestions:
- don't create a sketch for the path. You can just directly use the edge of your coil body as a path
- instead of using twist value, try "sweep with guide surface" to control the twist. Without being completely certain of you desired geometry, here is an example. I created a cylinder to use as the guide surface:
it is a bit quicker that sweep + twist. But, still not instant (and you should not expect it to be). Model is attached
