Even tho this is an older topic, I am really wanting to be able to make the tool palette work for electrical symbols.
You had mentioned a lispcommand that should go on each button in the tool palette. I will do more research, but could you direct me on where and how to do this?
I would like the entire tool palette take on that ability, not just one part at a time. But I am willing to do whatever it takes.
Please advise
Thanks!

Look in the API Help files for AutoCAD Electrical:
Thank you so much for your direction. Actually, your post in this thread, from 11/02/2007, with the lisp command in it, was golden!
I finally got time to do some of this, and I had a great team member who helped make it happen. He opened up Tool Palettes, created a new palette> Customize Commands> create a new command (selected the star with *), scrolled down to Command1, and renamed it to a command name. Selected the > at the lower rt bottom of dialog box, and edited the Macro field with your lisp command. Once that was done, we slid the command from the left column over to the tool palette, and it was smart! We tested a circuit breaker, and it worked like a charm, breaking the wire! My goal is using the smart tool palette for terminal blocks, and circuits. One thing we noticed, is if the parts are in different directories, the pathname needs to be included in the lispcommand, and the slashes need to be forward slashes (/).
(C:wd_insym2 "path" nil 1 0) .
We chose to not have the dialog box pop up, so thank you for the descriptions about that also.
Very grateful!
