System Variable - TOOLPALETTEPATH - AutoCAD 2015, 2016

System Variable TOOLPALETTEPATH, is it still available in Autocad 2015 or 2016?

 

I have the following macro in my CUI file to toggle paths. It does not seem to work correctly with 2015.

 

^C^Csetvar;*_TOOLPALETTEPATH "C:/ACAD2015/Toolpalette/MYtp";TP;

 

I looked in the System variable list and could not find it.

 

Any suggestions?

 

Thanks.

Ok... Here I what I had to do. I don't know if this is the correct way, but it worked.

 

In the Options dialog, under the Files Tab, I highlighted the default tool palette location in the "Tool Palette File Locations" and copied it to the clipboard. I then set "Tool Palette File Locations" to the folder where I kept the custom tool palette. Clicked Apply, then OK. Tool Palette changed to the custom tool palette.

 

I went back in the Options dialog, under the Files Tab, and reset "Tool Palette File Locations" to the default, pasting in the value from the clipboard. Clicked Apply, then OK. Tool Palette changed back to the default AutoCAD tool palette. I was then able to click on the custom toolbar buttons where I assigned the toggle commands, and they worked as expected.

 

^C^Csetvar;*_TOOLPALETTEPATH "C:/ACAD2015/Toolpalette/MYtp";          (Custom Tool Palette Location)

^C^Csetvar;*_TOOLPALETTEPATH "C:/ACAD2015/Toolpalette/ACADtp";      (Standard AutoCAD Tool Palette Location)

 

 

I can,t explain it, only that it works.
