    Default Adding multiple details to a Tool Palette

    I having trouble setting up a new tool palette. When I pick new tool palette, and create a new tool palette that works fine. Next I go to my details that I want to put in the tool palette. I select all and try to drag to my new palette but I get a circle symbol with a slash thur it and am not able to copy to my palette. My tool palette file location is path right. Can someone tell me what I am doing wrong. We are using acad 2005

    You can only drag one block at a time to the tool palette. To make a palette in one lump sitting, use desing center, find the drawing with the block and right click it and choose "create tool palette". It will make a palette named from the drawing and place all the blocks from the drawing on the palette.

    The drawing needs to be saved first. The palette needs to reside in a folder with read/write permissions. Also, make sure that if you are trying to drag a block onto a palette, click once on the block, let go of button, then click on the block and hold while dragging the block to a palette. DO NOT click the grip (usually the dark blue square that appears after selecting the block).

    when the files are wblocks - navigate with explorer to the location where they are stored, select them and drag them into the toolpalette.

    Also you can use the design center to navigate to a folder or drawing, select the block and RMB for quickmenu make toolpalette
