I've read the previous messages about using the Image Tile Menu but it would save me tons of time trying to come up with new icons for all my blocks so I need more info on doing this.
The instructions DO NOT WORK with 2011!
6. In the Properties pane, enter the properties for the new image tile slide as follows:
I try to drag my command into my named Image Tile Menu and all I get is a circle with a line thru it like it can't be copied. I tried it on 2006 LT and I'm able to drag my commands to my Image Tle Menus but not with 2011. So I went back to 2006 and can't find any info on calling this image tile menu up? I added it to my menu file but I just get the menus with the commands in lieu of a Image Tile Screen. I'd rather have the pop up so I can show my slides.
So do you have any detailed instructions on doing this? I can do it in my old version of Acad2005 using it in ***POP in my mnu file.
Update your methodology might be an option worth exploring:
Option 1: Start ADCENTER command, browse to the folder(ss) where you blocks are stored, right-click over the top folder, and select SET AS HOME. All the blocks and their images are now there. You can simply code ADCNAVIGATE to get to each folder: all images are there, as are your block.
Option 2: While in ADCENTER, go into each folder, select all, then right-click and create a toolpalette. Now you have them there too.
Dean,
When I have my symbol folder open and I pick a symbol it has an area for a description. How do I add this description to the symbol so it shows up in this area?
Dean,
So far so good... I think I really like this option of Design Center and Tool Palettes but I have a problem when I pick a symbol from the Tool Palette. The option for letting me pick a scale does not a come up. It does with Design Center. If I type Insert the dialog box is set to ask for it.
Can you help me out on this one?
What parameters do you want to change? TPs are about speed of input, so they are not by design there to stop for much additional user feedback. Right-click over one of the objects in a tool palette, select Properties, and explore what you can set to be prompted for and what you can create additionally to automate other choices.
