Tool Palette Organization Dilemma

[bowlingbrad]

Guys,

Scenario:
1 Network tool palette read-only
1 Local tool palette for user

Using TOOLPALETTEPATH variable works fine....
(command "*_toolpalettepath" "NETWORK;LOCAL")

EXCEPT the local tool palette always shows up at the top of the list. I would like it to always show up at the bottom. I've tried switching the order to LOCAL;NETWORK with no luck.

Any ideas?

Try this:

 
(command "*_ToolPalettePath"(strcat "Z:/Autodesk 2009/JRToolPalette"(chr 59)"U:/Autodesk 2009/ToolPalette"))

Of course substitute your paths for mine.

It's not the syntax that is the problem. Everything works fine. It is just that the local tool palette tab is always the first tab. I need it to always be the last.

I don't see why a local drive would behave differently than a network drive. That is why I didn't test it before. However, I just tested a local drive now and it is mapped in the order specified in the command string.

 
(command "*_ToolPalettePath"(strcat "Z:/Autodesk 2009/JRToolPalette"(chr 59)"C:/Users/paulsenj/AppData/Roaming/Autodesk/C3D 2012/enu/support/ToolPalette"))

Like I've said, the tool palette paths are in the correct order but the tabs are not.
See the attached image.

Here is what I have to do to get it to be at the bottom. First, I set the network toolpalette then I go back and reset it to include the user.

As you can see, I've even tried using the strcat with char 59.

(defun C:GPTP ()
  (command "*_toolpalettepath" "X:\\CAD Support\\AutoCAD2012\\ToolPalette")
  (command "*_toolpalettepath" (strcat "X:\\CAD Support\\AutoCAD2012\\ToolPalette"(chr 59)"C:\\GP Standards\\AutoCAD 2012\\ToolPalette"))
  (princ))

I think I understand now. The "list" you referred to in your original post are the tabs on the tool palette. Sorry for the confusion.

The tabs are originally listed in the order they were created or loaded. It appears you got it to work by loading the network palette then loading the local palette. I'm glad you got it to work.

Thanks. And yes... My brain-to-keyboard connection isn't always that good.
