Palette size issue

I have created a new palette that contains 155 dynamic blocks for bathroom vanities. ACA locks up when I try to add the palette to the Content Browser. The issue seems to be the size of the palette. Is there a better way to add large palettes to the Content Browser or a setting for the allowed size? Any suggestions would be helpful. There really isn't a way to split the palette up into multiple palettes.

Is this palette a Tool Palette from a tool catalog? Or plain AutoCAD's TP feature?

How exactly did you "...add the palette to the Content Browser..." if I may ask? Step by step please, or is this what you id https://knowledge.autodesk.com/support/autocad-architecture/learn-explore/caas/CloudHelp/cloudhelp/2...

Is there an error message associated with "... ACA locks up>>>"? Or is it a matter of just waiting for it to populate all 155 dynamic blocks with their 2-3-5-10 variations each?

Side Note: 155 is a lot to scroll through for a user IMHO for any user. There is always a way to organize them to be easier to search if needed.

This is the process I always use, I drag the blocks from the drawing onto a new tool Palette. Once I have added all of the blocks/tools I drag the palette into the Tool Catalog on the Content browser. No error message

There may be a limit on the number a tools a single palette can hold.  I can't imagine that it would be easy to use 155 tools on the same palette.  Try using categories, additional palettes, and packages to grouip your tools.
