    Default Using office custom Tool Palettes at home

    we have our standards and tool palettes configured to a folder on a network drive, which works out great at the office, however we have one user who works from home and is having issues with the palettes working, since tools reference our networked drive. are there any practical solutions to get her palettes and tools working?

    If you do not want users to modify these files, then I would suggest a program called Alcohol...This software lets you put CD/DVD's as virtual drives on the user's hard drive...These seem to be read only drives as windows sees them as a CD-ROM drive...I have not that much research on it, but I think this will help...

    You can map this drive as the same one in the office and have it work without changing any of the paths in AutoCAD...
