Where AutoCAD 202X stores 16x16 button\ribbon icons?

[alexKoshman]

Hello to you newbies and gurus!

Can anybody tell me where modern AutoCAD stores its 16x16 icons?

In old good days they've been stored in "acadbtnX.xmx" (dll), 16x16 and 32x32 icons. But now I can see only 128x128, 96x96, 64x64, 48x48, 32x32 and 24x24 icons in there.

Where are now old good (and simple) 16x16 icons? I thought at first that AutoCAD just downscales 32x32 icons to 16x16 now, but peering into the AutoCAD interface I've got that it is not resizing but honest and direct image of 16x16 icons.

So my question is: where does he get them from?

If there will be upgrade to some new AutoCAD I want to be ready to move my interface to the new image standard...

I downloaded a image extractor and just looked in some of the acadxxxxx.dll and found lots they were 32x32 but used paint.net and rescaled to 16x16, not sure where else to look.

Did you look in the mnr files ?

Hi Sea-Haven!

Thank you for your interest and for your reply!

1. I don't know how to read MNR files!

2. But I have to apologize because now I can able to access AutoCAD 16x16 icons within our old friend "acadbtn.xmx"! I think I did something wrong then!

Old good "ResourceHacker" saved RC files for me and after some time of experiments I recognized that icons are stored now as ICOs and TIFFs.

And converting these TIFFs I think now I did something wrong.

Yes there are some icons with only 32x32 size and some others have its smallest size 24x24, but the most of them are "normal".

Sorry for disturbing you guys with all sorts of nonsense of mine!

FYI, the 16x16 icons are still contained in file: acadres.dll

Hi paulli_apa!

I think there are not toolbar and ribbon button icons but only AutoCAD interface images.
