Using Your Own Tool Palettes

Each time HydraCAD is updated, we replace our tool palettes. This is because we have been adding things to them since they were first created. This causes a problem with those who make their own palettes. There are two options here:

If you wish to use your own palettes and our palettes:

Create your palettes. Then, right-click on the title bar of the palettes. Pick the Customize tool. Then, right click on your tool palette and pick Export. This will create a permanent copy of your palette. Then, open up the HydraCAD tool palette, repreat the above steps, picking Import this time. The Import step will need to be done after each update of HydraCAD

If you wish to use your own palettes but not our palettes:

Go into AutoCAD OPTIONS and pick the files tab. Then, pick Tool Palette File Locations and set that to your own palette folder.
