Because tool palettes can represent a tremendous amount of work, they should be protected from the general users. To prevent unauthorized access, make the folder containing the tool palettes read-only to non-admin users.
Making the folder read-only can be accomplished in a couple ways. If you have IT people or are familiar with folder permissions, create a cad user group and deny write privileges to the tool palette folder. Any non-admin CAD user should be a member of the CAD user group. Because deny permissions take precedence, users will be able to read the files, but not write or change them.

To allow others to use our tool palettes, we need to add the network path to their profile. The procedure is the same as we used to add the path to our profile. However, put the network folder below the user folder, so they create their own palettes on their own computer.
Control the display of the blocks by clicking on the arrow in the upper right corner of the palette as seen in figure 4. Do you want icons or a speedy list? Details will also tell you if the block is annotative, dynamic or neither (which could be useful information).
The program highlights all instances of the object and opens a Count toolbar that displays the number of instances. Tools on that toolbar enable you to zoom to the next or previous instance of the object, display details of the count in a new Count palette, create a text field that is set to the current count value and close the Count toolbar.
When the Count toolbar is closed, the Count palette displays a tally of all the blocks in the drawing. The totals update automatically as you modify the drawing. A special icon alerts you to any issues related to the reported count, such as overlapping or exploded blocks. The palette also includes a tool to insert a table containing the block names and corresponding count for each block in the drawing. The count list also includes blocks that are nested within other blocks. Only visible blocks in model space are displayed in the Count palette and the Count tool does not support some objects, including text, hatches, 3D objects and external references. Counting objects in drawings with lots of unique block names can slow program performance.
Once another user saves their changes, when you use AutoCAD 2022 to reopen the drawing from web and mobile, the new Traces palette displays a list of traces along with who added the trace and when it was added, and individual traces can be deleted or renamed.
When you select a trace in this palette, a Trace toolbar appears at the top of the drawing window, and you see a view-only image of the trace. A button on the toolbar lets you toggle the trace to the front or back. You can then use standard AutoCAD commands to modify the actual drawing, not the trace itself. When you close the toolbar, the trace image disappears.
Push to Autodesk Docs opens a new palette where you can select paper space layouts and then upload those sheets as PDF files to a selected folder on Autodesk Docs or BIM 360. The PDF files are then published and uploaded in the background. A balloon notification appears on the status bar once all the files have been published.
The Insert dialog box has been redesigned with visual thumbnails to provide a better preview of available blocks to insert. The palette includes three tabs: Current Drawing, Recent, and Other Drawing.
To do this, please follow these steps:- start AutoCAD alone (Without Advance Steel) for deleting the Tool Palettes- on the Tool Palettes dialog, right click on the right-side (where you see the name "Tool palettes") and choose from the menu "Customize Palettes .." => this will load the toolpalettes "Customize" dialog.- now you need to remove any trace of Advance Steel palettes from this dialog. On the left side you'll have the palettes, while on the right side you'll have the groups (the ones that appear when you right-click and can select Advance Steel to filter only those palettes) => You need to search any existing Advance Steel palette (or palette group) here and remove it by using the Delete key. Note : you can't select multiple palettes at ones, so you'll need to individually remove them.
The Advance Steel toolpalettes have the following names : - Drawing finish - Drawing labels & dimensions - Selection filters - Quick views - UCS - Advance - Tools - Beam features - Plate features
- close the dialog and then close AutoCAD after having removed every toolpalettes and groups- start Advance Steel with this Autocad version.- load the customize toolpalettes dialog again and start loading the toolpalettes.- to load a toolpalette, right click on the left side of the dialog (in the Palettes section) and choose "Import..". ; then go to the folder : C:\ProgramData\Graitec\Advance Steel\2012\Steel\Support\Toolbars\2009 and load the .xtp files here (Each file is associated to a toolpalette).- after you've imported all the toolpalette, you can create a group in the right side and add the Advance Steel toolpalette in it. Is not mandatory to have a group, but it helps you to filter the Advance Steel ones when needed.
Note: Left Click on the viewport once to select it. Now with the viewport selected, left click again and hold the left hand mouse button down. You can now drag the viewport onto the palette to create the tool.
I needed to run some code from a modeless dialog, the other day, and found it was a bit of a pain to generate something quickly to do so. So I thought it might be a good idea to populate a palette dynamically with buttons that call commands and methods that were somehow tagged in the current project.
I solved it to the point, that I can drag and drop but ONLY TO THE EXISTING TABS! When I create a New Tab, I cannot drag and drop my blocks into it. I am sorry I bother you so much with the same subject, but it is my main chore to make our customized tool palette here at the office and I am struggling with this problem.
now, i follow this video tutorial from mr. robert green (symbol libraries.wmv) and everything is ok when i drag and drop files (every file contain one block) in tool palettes but all of my blocks become block in block (after i drag them into drawing from palette) and dynamic blocks are not functional at all!?
Create your W block on a master drawing template, use block editor to give it it's dynamic attributes, save the drawing, cut and paste the dynamic block into the tool palette of your choice. Works every time. I have never been able to drag and drop, not even through design centre.
I had the same issue. Then I tried just doing a copybase on the block I wanted to insert and right click in your new palette and paste. It takes a second to think about it then drops it right in there!
I found that, if i move tool palette outside the program window i can't drag blocks on it, so in my case the solution was simple, i needed only to dock TP inside the program window. Maybe this will help someone
A tool palette is a graphical user interface (GUI) element used to group together special functions in an application, usually of the kind used to create and edit media such as photo and video editing software, sketch and painting applications, 3-D modeling and animation and CAD applications. The tool palette groups together shortcuts to functions, usually in the form of icons or widgets. It is akin to the artist's palette used to hold and mix the different paint colors needed to create a painting.
A tool palette is a suite of tools and functions available to the user via GUI elements like icons and widgets found within creation software such as Photoshop and AutoCAD. The tools are often arranged and grouped according to specific function and the user can have multiple tool palettes open and even create their own custom grouping, but this entirely depends on the application if this feature is supported.
A tool palette often includes creation tools such as those that create lines and shapes or selection tools and edit tools. Of course, the type of tools available in the palette depends on the application and can differ even between versions of the same software. A tool palette can appear as a section within the app GUI, usually to the sides, as a tool bar, or even as a movable floating sub-window.
After you have created your highly productive AutoCAD tool palette, you would like to share it with the rest of your design department. The process is relatively simple, copy a few files and a folder and you are in business. There are some other considerations if your tool palette contains block definitions and other entity styles. My example tool palette contains custom blocks, standard hatches and custom dimensions.
There are two files you need to copy from your drive to the workstations you plan to share your tool palette. The first file is the tool palette definition. This is located in the folder C:\Users\\AppData\Roaming\Autodesk\AutoCAD 2016\R20.1\enu\Support\ToolPalette\Palettes. The files name begins with the name of the tool palette tab followed by a long series of letters and numbers and has a file extension of .atc. There is a separate file for each tool palette tab. Copy this file(s) into the matching folder on the new workstation. The second file is the tool palette catalog. This file is located in the folder C:\Users\\AppData\Roaming\Autodesk\AutoCAD 2016\R20.1\enu\Support\ToolPalette. It is named AcTpCatalog.atc. You will be copying this file and replacing the existing one on the new workstation which will replace all of the existing tool palettes on the new workstation. Please make a copy of the existing file to allow you to return to the original tool palette definition if needed.
The tool palette contains images for each entry. You may not display these in your tool palette but you need to copy them to new workstation to complete the process. The folder, named Images, is located in the folder C:\Users\\AppData\Roaming\Autodesk\AutoCAD 2016\R20.1\enu\Support\ToolPalette\Palettes. This folder should be copied to the matching location on the new workstation. 2ff7e9595c
