Custom Toolbars

[Anonymous]

Is there an easy way to transfer custom toolbars between computers? I have
a toolbar that a counterpart wants, but doesn't want to go through the
hassle of recreating it. Help?

Clint,

Piece of cake.

Option #1. Copy your customized *.MNS and *.MNR files (found in the support
folder) over to your counterpart's machine

Option #2. Go into your customized *.MNS menu source file and do a search
for the "***Toolbars" section, then scroll down and identify the newly
created toolbars (you may also want to go to the "***Helpstrings" section to
find the help strings too). Copy the associated code to the appropriate
sections of your counterpart's MNS menu file. If you created any toolbar
button icons, you'll want to copy those to your counterpart's machine as
well. They appear as ICON##.BMP files. Use the MENULOAD command and load the
file.

Option #3. Ideally, you'd make your customizations in a separate MNU file
using a unique menugroup name and use the MENULOAD command to load it in
addition to the exisitng menus. Then you could go back to option 1 and set
it up on your counterpart's machine.

Some background you may find usefull: AutoCAD does not change your MNU file
when you make customizations, those changes are made to your MNS file. When
you load the MNU or MNS file AutoCAD compiles this file and writes to a MNC
file (Menu Compilied) and updates your MNR (Menu resource) file which
contains the icon images. So you'll noitice I have you making changes to the
MNS file, leaving your MNU file untouched. You could just as easily make
these changes to your MNU file and then set the filetype filter to MNU to
load it.

Hope this helps,
