Missing Icons

[PhilvK]

Under OPTIONS>FILES, what is the correct path to the BMP files for custom icons?
I believe I have my custom icons in the same place for ACA 2009 as ACA 2010, but the ones for 2010 do not appear (they have the question mark instead of the icon). Here's where they are for each:

2009 - C:Users\MyName\AppData\Roaming\Autodesk\ACD-A 2009\enu\Support\Icons

2010 - C:Users\MyName\AppData\Roaming\Autodesk\ACA 2010\enu\Support\Icons

Anyone have a clue why the 2010 ones won't appear? Thanks!

I place all my customizations in one spot, like //myserver/mycustomtools (or
c:/mycustomtools), and simply add the path to AutoCAD's search paths. Then
load up the customizations.

And you never EVER have to go jumping al over the place when changing
versions like that.

Take control, don't just waste time finding the right folder that may or may
not work.

Thanks Dean. Would you specify the path to your custom directory under "Support File Search Path", "Working Support File Search Path", or one of the other categories?

Options command>Files Tab>Support File Search path, click on the + sign,
then the ADD button, then Browse Button to identify your folder(s).

By default it's at the bottom of the list, you can move it up if you want
AutoCAD to scan that one first and stop when it finds what it needs (handy
if you use your own custom LIN, PAT and PGP files etc. as well).

I find that anything you add will not take until you restart AutoCAD/ACA:
then you can load your menu customizations and start ups as needed.
