To Copy a Tool Package to the AutoCAD Architecture 2021 Toolset Workspace

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

You can create linked or unlinked copies of the tools in the package. 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, with no relationship to the original.

  1. Click Home tabBuild panelTools drop-downContent Browser.
  2. Open the tool catalog containing the tool package to copy into the tool palette set. If the package is located in a specific category of the catalog, open that category.
  3. Select Add to Tool Palette when you hover the cursor over the content icon.

    To copy multiple tool palettes, press and hold Ctrl while clicking each palette; then right-click and select Add to Tool Palette.

  4. Choose the appropriate action:

    store linked copies of the package’s tools in the tool palette set click Add to Tool Palette to add the tool palette to the desired tool palette set.
    Note: Linked tools will only be created when the tool catalog has been set to linked. If the catalog has been set to non-linked, any tool in that package will be inserted as non-linked tool package onto the AutoCAD Architecture 2021 toolset palettes.
    create unlinked copies of the package’s tools in the tool palette set press and hold Alt. Then click Add to Tool Palette to add the tool palette in the desired tool palette set.
    Note: If the tool catalog containing the package has been set to unlinked, you do not need to hold down Alt while adding the tool. It will be inserted as unlinked in any case.
