Hi,

I made a mistake by deleting the DOT symbol and now trying to hunt down the file name iec60617(shdot). Can someone please tell me how do I get that default image/icon back on to the Icon Menu? Yes I did went to the link below, but can't find it. Thank you

You're looking for iec60617.dll

That is the file with the icons.

(Shdot) is the name of the resource/image within that dll file.

Hi,

I found the file you mentioned above, but when I went into the Icon Menu Wizard to add the image/icon, the dropdown options was only for SLD or PNG.

Icon Location, correct me if I'm wrong, Thank you

The Icon Menu supports four types of icons.

1. SLD file (use MSLIDE command to create one)

2. PNG file (use whatever IMAGE editing program you want to edit it)

3. Resource files (DLL) with many PNG images in it.

4. SLB (Slide library). It's only used by some old functionality (lisp and dcl-dialogs). Like the images used in some dialogs, like Drawing Properties -> Styles:

For number 3 and 4, you cannot "browse" to the correct image. You need to type the format:

resourcefile(resourcename)

To generate the DLL file, you need Visual Studio or the like. The SLB file is compiled on the Windows Command Line with SLD-files (Don't ask).

The location for the the DLL/SLB files is

C:\Users\KT\AppData\Roaming\Autodesk\AutoCAD Electrical 2023\R24.2\enu\Support

For PNG/SLD it is:

C:\Users\KT\AppData\Roaming\Autodesk\AutoCAD Electrical 2023\R24.2\enu\Support\IMAGES

It's a known issue if you change the WD_SLB setting in WD.ENV, that it messes up those paths. It was reported 8-9 years ago. Nothing has happened since.
