To Customize a Tool

Use this procedure to modify a tool that is stored in a tool catalog.

When you begin this procedure, both the AutoCAD Architecture 2024 toolset palette and the Content Browser window should be visible, so that you can drag items between them.

1. Click Home tabBuild panelTools drop-downContent Browser.
2. Open the tool catalog that contains the tool to customize. If the tool 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 you want, so that the pointer image changes to an eyedropper ().
4. Click the eyedropper and drag it to a palette in the tool palette set.

   If the tool palette does not accept the tool, it might be because the palette is set to allow updates only from a linked tool palette in a tool catalog. To check this, right-click on the palette, click Properties, and look at the Refresh from setting. If Refresh from is selected, the palette is linked to a palette in a tool catalog. To break the link, clear Refresh from.

5. Right-click the copy of the tool in the tool palette set, and click Properties.
6. In the Tool Properties worksheet, clear Refresh from.

   If Refresh from is selected, the tool is linked to its source in the tool catalog and can be updated only from the source tool.

7. Make any property changes, and then click OK.
8. Drag the tool from the tool palette set back to its original location in the Content Browser.
   Tip: Right-click the title bar of the Autodesk Content Browser, and select Always on Top before dragging the tool to the Content Browser.
9. When prompted to confirm catalog item replacement, click Yes.
