The Tool Palettes window in AutoCAD® enhances the user's experience by providing iconic tools in a flexible, easily customized format. Tool Palette applications can use this feature's prominent visibility to promote their added value.
The Tool Palette API uses ObjectARX®, COM, MFC, and XML technologies to access the internal framework of the Tool Palettes window. This API provides the building blocks you need to create and publish specialized Tool Palette content. It also includes special template classes and macro maps that shorten development cycles.
