Customizing a Tool

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

When you begin this procedure, both the Autodesk Civil 3D tool palette set and the Content Browser window should be visible, so that you can move items between them.

  1. In the Content Browser, 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.
  2. Move your cursor over the tool image to display options for inserting it into the drawing or adding it to a tool palette.
  3. Click the Add to Tool Palette option.
  4. Right-click the copy of the tool in the tool palette set, and click Properties.
  5. Make any property changes, and click OK.
  6. 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 Content Browser, and select Always on Top before dragging the tool to the Content Browser.

  7. When prompted to confirm catalog item replacement, click Yes.
