Custom Flyouts In AutoCAD 2006??

[puguglypg]

Hi

Does anyone know how to add custom flyout icons to toolbars in AutoCAD 2006? I'm switching to 2006 from 2004 and I use the UCS, View and Snap flyouts all the time but I cant find any way of adding these to a tool bar in 2006.

Cheers.

Make sure you install the first update before you start doing custom toolbars. I ran into problems with my toolbars and then a installed the first service pack and all was fine.

Once you are running the service pack, there are two approaches.

If the source toolbar already exists, and you just want it to be a flyout in
another toolbar, you need to expand the target toolbar, and simply
drag-n-drop the source toolbar somewhere in the middle of the target
toolbar. Drag-n-drop to change the flyout's position after it is created.

If the source toolbar doesn't exist yet, expand the target toolbar.
Right-click and select New Flyout. The flyout is created, and it's source
toolbar is automatically created.
