Hi,

 

>what does a .atc file actually do?

the one "catalog" atc in your toolpalette path, is the index/catalog file.

- What palettes have to load.. and more settings

All .atc in in /palettes subfolder are the palettes themselve! This is where the content of a palette is defined.

This is where the (right) pathes have to be.

 

 

>I found a whole bunch of them in a folder called "Palettes" and opened a couple, and the paths were completely wrong.

- That's why you can see the wrong path in your tool-properties. The .atc file is where the tools are defined.

 

>So I did a S&R on a couple, but unsure whether I should continue spending a lot of time repalcing the correct path in ALL of them?"

-I need just ONE s&r to change all path in all file.

Pimp your skills about Texteditors / search another one who can do a s&r in multiple files. Out there, are a lot of powerful editors & others tools.

 

>In answer to your question, after deleting the .xtp file and doing a S&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!!

- Icon, this is not priority one, but one try:

You can't see the Icon in your palette ? (In your screenshot we can see it)

Perhaps palette and the property dialog use different source (untested) and the icon for palette display is not there or just bad.

Icons are stored Images folder, the other subfolder in your toolpalette path.

OR, your data is completely confused because of many tries and fails (I can't check the whole stuff on your side).

 

 

>Yes, I know, I have always dne my work in a specific company folder which I save into my "Documents" folder.

- Bad place, if you don't use the same (windows) UserID or if the location  in your company for this stuff is another.

But if you know how to handle and edit all things, okay.

(You should know it first, then you use, wrong order in your case ;D )

 

 

>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.

- Ahh okay. Perfect, until you have to move it to another location.

 

 

At THIS moment I would write 

What I would recommend (how to "renew" it cleanly once),

but sorry, I don't have time for it now.
