Description
This class will dive into all things tool palette, exploring how much of a benefit they can be for group standardization and design production. We’ll show you how to create a fresh tool palette with commands, 2D, 3D, and dynamic blocks, and how to create customized lists for the tabs of blocks, separating them into discipline groups that the user can easily filter. Commands such as Line, Script, and LISP files can be inserted and shown as easy-to-pick icons to run just about anything you can dream up. Lastly, we’ll provide a couple of ways to create both a protected network and local structure for setting the palettes as "Read Only" for users, but letting the CAD manager maintain the master palette. The beauty of this is that the changes will replicate across a large or small group instantly, only requiring the users to relaunch AutoCAD software in order to see the palette updates.
