Adding Tools to a Tool Catalog

Use this procedure to add a tool to a tool catalog or to a tool palette or tool package stored in a catalog. You must have write-access to the tool catalog in order to add a tool to it. For more information, see Setting Catalog Access Rights.

You can also drag a tool from a tool palette in the Autodesk Civil 3D workspace to a tool catalog in the Content Browser.

  1. In the Content Browser, open the tool catalog in which to add a tool.

    If you are adding the tool to a specific category in the catalog or to a palette or package in a specific category, open that category.

  2. Double-click the image to open the palette or package if you are adding the tool to a tool palette or tool package.
  3. In the Autodesk Civil 3D workspace, open the tool palette that contains the tool to add to the tool catalog.
  4. Right-click the tool and click Copy.
  5. In the right pane of the Content Browser window, right-click in a blank area and click Paste.
    Note:

    If there is no Paste option on the shortcut menu, then the pointer is probably positioned over a tool, even though the space may appear to be blank. Move the pointer and try again.
