Tool Palette Installation

[Anonymous]

Is there a simple way to "install" custom tool palettes: copy the files,
set the file search paths, load the LISP files, check for mapped network
drives, add the TP groups, import the xtc's, etc.?
We have multiple users in multiple office locations using multiple verticals
(Map & Civil3D).
Some sort of installer routine perhaps?
I thought of using the Action Recorder, but apparently it does not work well
with dialog box inputs.

Thanks,
Earl

Yes, it's entirely possible, and I documented how to do exactly this in my AU
2007 class on installing AutoCAD Architecture 2007.

http://au.autodesk.com/?nd=class&session_id=1181

It's for ACA, and I don't know if it would be directly applicable to C3D/Map,
but I would bet most of the concepts are the same.

I have also set up tool palettes for our 30 CAD workstations. I can also re-deploy at the touch of a button. Let me know if you need a hand.

Do you know where in the class you talked about toolpalettes?  It's 1:35:22 long.  Even if it's just after the middle or somthing vague.

Thanks.

My bad.. It was easier than I thought to find.. Got it.  Thanks.
