Changing the icon on the Drawing Process toolbar

Im trying to change one of the Icons on the Drawing Process toolbar, Ive made the logo I want to use, I've placed it in the Advance Steel 2022\USA\Steel\Support\Toolbars folder, and I have modified the AstProcessData.xml file. but every time I restart AS, it rewrites the xml file to the original. What am I missing?

There is a user version of this , the file you are altering is the original, AS makes a copy of this file and uses the user version.  Look for that xml in same place.  That needs to removed or the palette closed before exit, then it will recompile when you reopen AS., then access the processes

 

also, in the database under the user section there is a database for the drawing processes , where you can edit the text and if I recall you can set the image reference.

 

also the images need to be stored in the correct folder ,

So let me see if I have this , Delete the original file and modify the user file. And make modifications in the database for drawing processes using the Management tools. Then all should be hunky dory.
