To Copy a Tool Palette to the Workspace

Use this procedure to store a copy of a tool palette in the tool palette set.

You can create a linked or unlinked copy of the tool palette. A linked copy remains connected to the original in the tool catalog, so that you can easily update the copy with any changes made to the original. An unlinked copy is treated as a new tool palette, with no relationship to the original.

  1. Click Home tabBuild panelTools drop-downContent Browser.
  2. Open the tool catalog containing the tool palette to copy to the tool palette set. If the palette is located in a specific category of the catalog, open that category.
  3. Select Add to Tool Palette when you hover the cursor over the content icon.

    To copy multiple tool palettes, press and hold Ctrl while clicking each palette; then right-click and select Add to Tool Palette.

    Note: A linked palette will only be created when the tool catalog has been set to linked. If the catalog has been set to non-linked, any palette from that catalog will be inserted as non-linked tool palette onto the AutoCAD Architecture 2025 toolset palette.

    Note: If the tool catalog containing the palette has been set to unlinked, you do not need to hold down Alt while adding the palette. It will be inserted as unlinked in any case.
