Tool Palette Link?

[dburt.37238]

Can a link to an external file (such as a DWF, PDF or DOC) be added to a tool palette?

You can create a CUI command and add it to the palette.

There are probably several ways to create the CUI Command with lisp, VBA, etc. I added the following line to the acad.pgp:


JRCM, START WINWORD "Z:\JR CAD STANDARDS\JR CAD STANDARDS.DOC", 8,,

I then ceated a CUI command with the following macro:


^C^C_jrcm

Thank you, this helped.

This macro works:



^C^C(command"shell" "p:/tools/AcadSetup/standards.pdf");
