To Copy a Tool Palette to the Workspace

Use this procedure to store a copy of a tool palette in the tool palette set.

You can create a linked or unlinked copy of the tool palette. A linked copy remains connected to the original in the tool catalog, so that you can easily update the copy with any changes made to the original. An unlinked copy is treated as a new tool palette, with no relationship to the original.

1. Click Home tabBuild panelTools drop-downContent Browser.
2. Open the tool catalog containing the tool palette to copy to the tool palette set. If the palette is located in a specific category of the catalog, open that category.
3. Move the pointer over the i-drop® icon next to the tool palette, so that the pointer image changes to an eyedropper ().

   To copy multiple tool palettes, press and hold Ctrl while clicking each palette; then position the eyedropper over any of the selected palettes.

4. Drag the eyedropper according to the desired action:
