REPLACE LOST TOOLBAR ICON

REPLACE LOST TOOLBAR ICON

REPLACE LOST TOOLBAR ICON

(OP)
hi,
I've been searching the forum and was surprised I couln't find an answer to this question, I've had the same problem before, but I can't remember the solution...

I deleted a toolbar icon (UCS by face) from my custom toolbar. I thought it was a copy from the standard UCS ACAD set, but apparently I neglected to copy it when I moved it to my custom bar. Now it's gone from the UCS toolbar group.

How do I restore it?

Thanks,
sundemon

RE: REPLACE LOST TOOLBAR ICON

take a look at your acad.mns file your custom toolbar should be wrtten in there, once you've found it, type in the missing command.

Thanks for responding, but I'm a little confused.

I'm trying to replace the "UCS face" command and icon on the standard-issue ACAD USC toolbar, as opposed to my custom toolbar.

Looking in the menu.mns file, I find an entry for the UCSface command, so no need to type it in...

Now how do I actually go about restoring the deleted icon and tool?

thanks, SD

RE: REPLACE LOST TOOLBAR ICON

Have you created custom icons before?

you need to Right click on the UCS toolbar, add a custom button in the usual way by dragging a custom button onto the tool bar, select the properties tab, click on you new user defined button, enter the name/discription, then the macro should read ^C^C_ucs _fa

not sure if that's the correct way to restore the tool bar....but it does work.

thanks, adamwildon.

Not the most elegant solution, but it did work. I had to re-draw the icon from memory, I guess when I deleted the toolbar the original icon went with it.

Do you know where the file for all the standard tool icons can be found?

RE: REPLACE LOST TOOLBAR ICON

after searching, no sorry. I could copy mine and send you the icon if you would like.  I wish I could tell you more but I'm a command line person really, don't tend to use icons.

RE: REPLACE LOST TOOLBAR ICON

All of my icons are contained in a Support file folder in the ACAD program file.

RE: REPLACE LOST TOOLBAR ICON

yes but you should check all the "documents and settings" folders, autocad is using the heck out of those.
