You didn't by any chance place your shared content folder on the network?
We had this issue when we put our shared content folder on a network share. This caused a delay in starting up projects of about 1 minute and a daly in switching between specs.
Placing the shared content locally fixed these issues. Switching specs now takes a few seconds.
Eric, you're right. I turned off the Dynamic Tool Palette and I was able to finish my piping connections in record time. It's not the idea solution for the long term, but it got me out of a tight time crunch situation.

Milan, I have placed the shared content on a network folder. I have to admit that I thought that it was the proper method for setting up Plant 3D for my office. We have fifteen deisgners working on a project and I thought placing the shared content on the network was the way to go.
To be clear: Shared Content = Catalogs and etc., Pipe Specs = *.pspx & *.pspc
Should I have the content on each machine individually and have the designers copy updated catalogs on a regular basis? As for the specs, they are in the project folder which is on the network.
With this information, any idea how I may speed up the process for all the designers?
Thank you,
Ryan.
Spec Viewer and dynamic tool palette off.
I've had some clients who liked to use SyncToy (from Microsoft) instead of having to do the script thing.
