Tool Palette's arrangement jumbles up when another user opens it

Hello, 

 

Background: I'm updating certain blocks in our tool palettes. After making the changes, I put them back in the position they were in, inside the tool palette. Say, I edit the "pipe-tray elevation marker - metric" block, remove the old one, and then place updated block under the "elevation marker" block. 

(I cannot right click on the block and edit it because I'm reworking the attributes and you need to do the extra step of deleting and inserting the block)

We have these tool palettes saved on SharePoint, and when another user opens the tool palettes in their AutoCAD, the edited block shows up on the bottom of the list, not under "elevation marker". 

 

Question: Is there a way to lock the arrangement of blocks inside tool palette so I don't have to re-import all the blocks into the tool palette in order to maintain the order. 

 

Appreciate the help!!!

Hi,

if you edited the block, you don't need to edit your toolpalette.

If you edited the insertion tool, you also don't need to delete&recreate the tool.

And the part with "extra step" i also don't understand.

 

But back to the topic:

After the first "import" of a tool or the whole toolpalette (another User starts Autocad and the tool/toolpalette appears the first time)

The order is saved local!

 

Read more about Toolpalettes in Autodesk University Handouts

to see how you can force the order also for other users.

(The trick is to recreate the whole palette by copy&paste, details about that - in AU handouts)

So I can't follow why you did that.

Thank you for the input. I'll check out the Autodesk university thing. 

 

By the "extra step", I meant,

you wanna edit dynamic blocks with attributes, and after you're done making the change, you click on "close-block editor" and save. The changes won't reflect right after. You need to delete the block and then insert it back in from the insert block menu. That's how I've been doing it at least, but if there's a better way, please let me know. :cara_con_una_leve_sonrisa:
