I've created several custom tool palettes for the company I am working for. 5 so far and there will more to come. Some are standard tools for our CAD group and some are client specific. I am trying to work it so that when I edit/add to a specific palette, it will automatically update everyone elses palettes. I am working with AutoCAD 2015. If it helps here is how I created the palettes.
I created a file and named it, for example, Tool Palette_Annotation, Tool Palette_Equipment, Tool Palette_Client Blocks etc, and within these files are several blocks that our organization will use in our drawings. I created a new group (Name of Organization) and moved each new palette under this group. I added the tools by copying and pasting each tool into the palette. I made a root folder called CAD Management in a location that all users will have access. Within the CAD Management folder I created a Tool Palettes folder. Within Tool Palettes I saved several files. The .dwg files I used to create the blocks (which is where the tools on the palette are mapped to), the .xpg file, the .xtp files, the .atc files, and the image file folders (I believe the thumbnail images of the blocks). I also added a path under Options-Files-Tool Palette File Location to map to the CAD Management\Tool Palettes directory.
As of now whenever I edit/add to a palette, each user has to go in and manually re-import the updated tool palette. Everyone has access to the files, it's just a matter of figuring out a way to tell AutoCAD to "refresh the palette". I thought in the past there was a refresh button on the bottom of the tool palettes (I may be thinking of AutoCAD Architecture).
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
