Before I get into my specific issue I want to say I am taking over the customization and updating of Civil 3D from an employee that has left the company. And as I cannot guarantee I know exactly what modifications and customizations he did, I do feel as though I understand how to clean up and update the modifications we need and use. It has been an easy transition everywhere except one...Tool Palettes.
I have cleaned up some tools and standard blocks with ease. I haven't had any issues. However, if I add a new block to an existing tool palette they are automatically added to the end of all my other user's palettes instead of alphabetically like intended. These blocks are in alphabetical order on my palette as well as in the catalog. However, they are not for everyone else (6 other people). Am I missing a universal update/refresh button? Do my coworkers need to turn off their machines and restart them to fully take affect?
I have also heard or seen rumors about the catalog needs to be read only after it is updated to fully take affect for the other users. This didn't appear to help either. Is that because my other users already opened the new palettes, or doesn't it just not matter?
And finally, on the very limited occasion I saw the previous employee update the tool palettes, he hit a button that seemed to refresh every tool in the catalog. I would see the loading/refreshing bar come across the screen over and over again very quickly like it was updating the entire network. I have no idea what that was, but I don't get any of that when I update my palettes now.
I would greatly appreciate any help you can offer. Thanks.
