Hi "m0li3ri3" ( Sorry, I do not know your real name )

Please note I have *moved* this thread from the AutoCAD Customization forum to this one, as I believe it will be better served here.

Thanks, Mike

I'm not sure I understand your question, do you want to know how to create a toolpallete or are you looking for a specific layout/content?

Where are you getting this tool palette from? If we can find this palette then we will have a common ground. Most users on here use imperial not metric so someone like myself would need to load the metric set first and then look for the palette you are referring to.

If I understand your question, you want to create a tool pallet that will have the structural member style pre-selected for you, sim to the ootb "Walls" tool pallet. I think.

You will need to create a new structural member style, insert it into a new drawing and save it with your other tools. Then open the drawing and drag it onto the tool palette.

Check out this AU handout for more info on tool palettes http://www.augi.com/education/auhand...004/BD31-3.zip


Also take a look in the ADT help, do a search for creating custom structural members.

Hope this helps.

If you cannot find the shape you want in the Structural Member Catalog, you can create your own style using the Structural Member Style Wizard with the dimensions you desire. You can find the above two option on the Format menu.
