    Import / Export Tool Palettes

    Hi,

     

    I am using MEP 2012 and trying to export my customized tool palette, so I could share the palette with other CAD users on a server. I am following Autodesk Exchange instruction on Import / Export Tool Palettes. Please refer to the attached picture for the insturction.

     

    The problem is that I can't find the following options anywhere on my MEP 2012 CAD. I checked my coworker's CAD just in case I was missing anything, but he had the same issue. 

     

    Export a tool palette

    Export a tool palette group

     

    If this is not the right way of sharing tool palettes with others on a server, what is the right way?

     

    Thanks,

    I was told that import/export tool palette using Tool Palettes Customization does not work any more. So, I used Content Browser instead to export all my tool palettes as a library on a server, and the other users drag the library to their tool palettes to import. Does it make sense?

    Feel free to shoot an email if you have more questions.
