I am using ADT 2005. I have used the tool palettes very little and would like to start using more of this power. I would also like to share these items over network.
I am looking to start out with some basic items. I would like to create a file for all of our standard wall types. I see that there are many wall styles included in the styles directory and I plan to take the drawing provided for the wall types and make a copy and modify some of them to meet our company standards. I will also do this for windows and doors next eventually.
I am getting confused with file locations for tool palettes and catalogs in the content browser. If sharing over a network is there any reason that the tool palette location listed in the Options dialog box should be anything but on your local computer? My thoughts are that the tool palettes are just a link to all other items and that this could stay on local computer. Is this correct thinking?
Do most people copy items located in "Cocuments and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Autodesk\ADT 2005\enu" to the server? If I move the above directory will the current tool palettes work to this new path or will the new path screw things up. I don't plan to make changes to the standard content catalogs but only to add our own items.
I know I will have more, but this is enough for now. Any other info on this items or links to other relevant topics are appreciated.
