Acad 2006 - Tool Paletts
(OP)
I have created my own tool paletts which are saved into a location set by the IT bloke somewhere down the line of docs and settings acad etc and support.
This is fine but I'd like to set up shared tool paletts which we used in my old company. I have created a path to the shared folder and this lies above the local docs settings path (in options and folders) but when I create a new palette it is save local to my machine.
Can you help.

Tool palettes (tabs on the Tool Palettes window) are .atc files (although they become .xtp files when you export them). On my Windows® XP system, their default location is c:\ Documents and Settings\[username]\Application Data\Autodesk\AutoCAD 2004\R16.0\enu\Support\ToolPalette\Palettes. Whew! Because your system may be different, from the Tools menu choose Options, and click the Files tab. Double-click Tool Palettes File Locations to see the location on your system. (However, on my system, this displays only to the level of the ToolPalette folder.) There you see the .atc files for the three default tool palettes. You also have an Images folder that contains the images for the icons.

So I am back to the same problem - getting another location to be default.
I am away for a few days now - baby on the way - but would welcome some ideas. Thanks.
