Default Line Draw VERY Slow (lots of lines)

Hi,
I have an application that builds a grid map and draws lots of lines between
cells.
The number of lines is currently over 600 but could grow more and each line
contains a hyperlink and screentip text.

The app works reasonably fast for the first 3-400 lines but exponentially
slows to a crawl. By the end it could be a line per second or slower.

I've seen recommendations not to use the "selection." command but I can't
figure out how to use it for my application.

Below is the code that works.
If I try to use LineShape.Hyperlinks.... I get an error.
I've also noticed that excel shows each line plotting even though I have
sreenupdating off.... am I missing something on that?

Thanks, MikeZz

Set LineShape = ActiveSheet.Shapes.AddLine(x1, y1, x2, y2)
LineShape.Select

ActiveSheet.Hyperlinks.Add Anchor:=Selection.ShapeRange.Item(lineName), _
Address:= "", SubAddress:=linkAdd, ScreenTip:=screenTipText
