To Display the Project Tool Palette Group

Use this procedure to display the project tool palette group in the tool palettes set.

Depending on the setting of the tool palette file location, the project tool palette group can be displayed automatically after setting a project current and closing Project Browser, or it can be empty and not be displayed on the tool palettes set. The project tool palette group is displayed automatically when it contains at least one palette.

Tool palette groups that are not automatically displayed can appear in the following cases:

• A new project that is not based on a template, and does not point to an existing tool palette group
• A legacy project from Autodesk Architectural Desktop 2005 that is not manually re-pointed to an existing tool palette group
• A project that is based on a template project without project tool palettes
