    Default ACAD 2010 tool palette issue

    I have a tool palette that I have imported and works fine, however when I shut down Autocad and restart that palette is gone and I have to import the palette again. I have tried saving and rimporting my profile and re-save workspace to try to preserve the palette but nothing seems to work. Any ideas? Very annoying.

    Are you using vanilla AutoCAD or a vertical such as Architectural or MEP?

    If you are using a vertical, make sure you do not have a project loaded in Project Navigator when doing general tool palette modifications. If a project is loaded the palette customizations are going into a project-specific tool palette.

    Then the only other cause would be that something is resetting your ATC files or profile.

    Does this happen if you use a new profile?

    P.S. Workspaces have no effect other than displaying the Tool Palette palette and/or group.

    Hi, in 2010 you'll need to set the tool palette path in options (you can specify multiple paths using the add button) then they should stick.

    I had to copy the exported .xtp file and the images folder to my search path which I already had pathed correctly. This does not make a lot of sense to me as I imported the palette. Shouldnt Autocad have created the tool catalog for that palette on its own?

    I am having a similar problem, I created a number of palettes on my c drive, then moved them to the server for all to use and changed my pathing in options, but they dont have any tools or icons. I moved them back to my c drive and reset the path, but still the same. Is there any way to recover these palettes???

    Try saving the Vanilla profile to a different name. Vanilla typically resets everything back to Vanilla mode upon shutdown. That's why it exists. If you save as a different profile name, your settings should save.

    Wrong. Wrong. Wrong. Did I mention you are wrong?

    Is it completely wrong, or just partially wrong?
