Freezing/Lag with Custom Tool Sets

There was an error rendering this rich post.

Hello,

I am relatively new to Bluebeam and I am setting up custom tool chests by division, for take offs. I am only a couple divisions in and I am having issues with freezing/lagging if I open more than one tool chest at a time. In fact this is my second time doing these as the first time it caused my program to crash and I wasn't periodically saving the tool chests. I submitted a ticket a few days ago and have not received any response.

Is this happening to anyone else or is it something that I am doing incorrectly?
