    <description>&lt;P&gt;Thanks for your help. Just a small question: what does a .atc file actually do? I found a whole bunch of them in a folder called "Palettes" and opened a couple, and the paths were completely wrong. So I did a S&amp;amp;R on a couple, but unsure whether I should continue spending a lot of time repalcing the correct path in ALL of them?&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;In answer to your question, after deleting the .xtp file and doing a S&amp;amp;R on all the block paths and saving the file I then imported the palettebut it STILL doesn't bring in the block. So I selected the item in the ToolPalette, selected properties, and the path is correct but no icon of the block. See 1st attachment!!&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Yes, I know, I have always dne my work in a specific company folder which I save into my "Documents" folder. When work is complete, I copy and paste into my company's server. I have been doing this for 3 years as I work remotely so "Documents" is not the problem.&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Hi Folks,&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Have recently bought a new laptop and have tried to transfer all my Toolapelettes from the old machine to the new one. But even though I have re-pathed the location of each item in each *.xtp file, the block will not show an icon on the toolpalette nor can I insert it into the drawing.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;So now I have to run through the "right click &amp;gt;&amp;gt; select...&amp;gt;&amp;gt; find source file&amp;gt;&amp;gt;ok for each and every item. There are hundreds of them.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I have done the "find/replace" routine on notebook for all the *xtp file but unless I do it manually as described in previous paragraph, it doesn't work.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Any ideas?&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Many thanks.&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Hi,&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;if you open the properties to repath,&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;is the path right or old? No typo?&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;.xtp files are just transfer. The used files are&amp;nbsp; .atc (after or import).&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;And there, I do a find&amp;amp;replace&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;I tried the repath name in atc files using find/replace in notebook. THAT didn't work.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Checked for typos, but all correct.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I have placed all my palettes in a specific location in my "documents" folder, for ease of access. So I used the file locating path to repath them. So basically, I only had to change one word in the path to point the link in the correct location. Some of the .xtp files picked up the new location, most didn't.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Unfortunately I did not use the export/import facility as I had initially trierd to use MS Onedrive to transfer everythink on my laptop in toto. but it kept mislaying the toolpalette files. So I ultimately had to cancel Onedrive and continue with share files feature.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;The paths in the .xtp files are exactly as written when I repath them individually.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Yes the Palette files location are registered in OPTIONS &amp;gt;&amp;gt; FILES.&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;&amp;gt;&amp;gt;"&lt;SPAN&gt;Some of the .xtp files picked up the new location, most didn't."&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;If you talk about the content in .xtp&amp;nbsp;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;that was your turn (you tried a find&amp;amp;replace).&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;If not all pathes correct, you had a problem with your find&amp;amp;replace.&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;I miss one more information:&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;After import o e of the .xtp files (where you had successful f&amp;amp;r):&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;The file path is correct (insertion tool property Path) and is working or not?&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;'Documents' is a special animal, but if you used the full path c:\users\.. I expect it should work as it did 1000 times before.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Sorry, without the data, I can't help more.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;(For a test, you can copy your .dwg to c:/temp/test or another local folder without special characters&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;and run a new test with the original .atc files.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;This MUST work well.&lt;/P&gt;

      <description>&lt;P&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;&amp;gt;&amp;gt;Yes the Palette files location are registered in OPTIONS &amp;gt;&amp;gt; FILES.&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;OPTIONS &amp;gt;&amp;gt; FILES&amp;gt;&amp;gt; Toolpalette path&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Abd inside this folder is the catalog .atc file and subfolder /palettes&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;where your palette .atc are.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;And the subfolder Images, with the thumbails.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Hi,&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;gt;what does a .atc file actually do?&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;the one "catalog" atc in your toolpalette path, is the index/catalog file.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;- What palettes have to load.. and more settings&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;All .atc in in /palettes subfolder are the palettes themselve! This is where the content of a palette is defined.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;This is where the (right) pathes have to be.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;gt;I found a whole bunch of them in a folder called "Palettes" and opened a couple, and the paths were completely wrong.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;- That's why you can see the wrong path in your tool-properties. The .atc file is where the tools are defined.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;gt;So I did a S&amp;amp;R on a couple, but unsure whether I should continue spending a lot of time repalcing the correct path in ALL of them?"&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;-I need just ONE s&amp;amp;r to change all path in all file.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Pimp your skills about Texteditors / search another one who can do a s&amp;amp;r in multiple files. Out there, are a lot of powerful editors &amp;amp; others tools.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;gt;In answer to your question, after deleting the .xtp file and doing a S&amp;amp;R on all the block paths and saving the file I then imported the palettebut it STILL doesn't bring in the block. So I selected the item in the ToolPalette, selected properties, and the path is correct but no icon of the block. See 1st attachment!!&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;- Icon, this is not priority one, but one try:&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;You can't see the Icon in your palette ? (In your screenshot we can see it)&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Perhaps palette and the property dialog use different source (untested) and the icon for palette display is not there or just bad.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Icons are stored Images folder, the other subfolder in your toolpalette path.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;OR, your data is completely confused because of many tries and fails (I can't check the whole stuff on your side).&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;gt;Yes, I know, I have always dne my work in a specific company folder which I save into my "Documents" folder.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;- Bad place, if you don't use the same (windows) UserID or if the location&amp;nbsp; in your company for this stuff is another.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;But if you know how to handle and edit all things, okay.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;(You should know it first, then you use, wrong order in your case ;D )&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;gt;When work is complete, I copy and paste into my company's server. I have been doing this for 3 years as I work remotely so "Documents" is not the problem.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;- Ahh okay. Perfect, until you have to move it to another location.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;At THIS moment I would write&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;What I would recommend (how to "renew" it cleanly once),&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;but sorry, I don't have time for it now.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
