I am having a challenge with my QAT's "sticking" for everyone. Here is our current 2012 AutoCAD config:
Main: "personal.cuix"
Stored on local C drive
Each contains a custom "My Quick Access Toolbar"
Enterprise: "ACAD.cuix" (modified)
Stored on network drive
Contains multiple (per client) workspaces defined.
Each workspace's QAT points to the "My Quick Access Toolbar" in the user's local "personal.cuix"
This config works fine on my system. As I switch workspaces, my QAT remains constant. In the CUI editor, all the workspaces have the QAT mapped properly.
On the other user's systems, though, the QAT doesn't stick. In fact, in the CUI editor, the QAT is not mapped at all in any of the ACAD.cuix workspaces. Same cuix file for all, but different workspace contents!?!
"Slide1.png" (http://forums.augi.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=84140&stc=1&d=1328762579) shows a typical user's setup with the enterprise-based client (Tim Horton's) workspace (#1). The user's QAT is defined (#2), but not assigned in the Workspace Contents (#3) nor visible on the screen (#4).
"Slide2.png" (http://forums.augi.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=84141&stc=1&d=1328762579) shows my setup with the same enterprise CUI (ACAD.cuix), same current workspace (#1). The QAT is defined (#2), mapped properly in the Workspace Contents (#3) and visible (#4).
I did notice that the "Element ID" of my "My QAT" is different than this user's. Could that be an issue? Does the workspace map to the Element ID or the QAT's name? If so, there's no (easy) way to get this to work across a network. :banghead: I don't think it's possible to rename the ID. Trying to ensure that everyone's QAT ID is the same would be futile.
Any assistance would be appreciated.
Thanks!
