The comment to this line means that you must separate individual paths using a semi-colon.If you are an AutoCAD tool palettes fan, you probably have many custom palettes and command inside it. If you add it to your acad.lsp file it will add another duplicate line to the setting every time your acad.lsp runs. You only need to run this once as the file paths are stored in the registry. after the tpPath in:Īsking because I'm curious/want to make sure I understand. When I manually load it, it says it loaded successfully but the new path isn't added in the Options window, only the default/OOTB path shows.ĭoes the instructions to "add your new path to the string diving paths with a " " " mean that if I wanted to add additional paths, I'd define a new variable name (setq), and add to the list up top (i.e. I want it to run automatically at startup (I'd like to add it to my acad.lsp). (vla-put-toolPalettePath pFiles tpPath) set tool palette path (setq tpPath "%InstallFolder%\\UserDataCache\\Support\\ToolPalette I:\\_CAD STANDARDS\\100 - CAD SUPPORT FILES\\200 - SUPPLEMENTARY FILES\\TOOL PALETTES") set your path here (setq tpPath (vla-get-toolPalettePath pFiles)) get current tool palette path ) (setq pFiles (vla-get-files (vla-get-preferences (vlax-get-acad-object)))) get file preferences (setq tpPath "%InstallFolder%\\UserDataCache\\Support\\ToolPalette I:\\_CAD STANDARDS\\100 - CAD SUPPORT FILES\\200 - SUPPLEMENTARY FILES\\TOOL PALETTES") set your path here eg "C:\\Users\\." (setq tpPaths (vlax-get-property pFiles 'toolpalettepath)) Get the current path(s) Trying not to get frustrated (managed to get all other pathing lisps to work with the exception of this one - our IT company gave me 48 hours notice they were moving our server so I've spent the last few days cobbling together a bunch of lisps). Tried both of these but they don't seem to work either. I'm just trying to add our network Tool Palette to the bottom of the Tool Palettes Path setting in options (i.e. (setq tpPath "I:\\_CAD STANDARDS\\100 - CAD SUPPORT FILES\\200 - SUPPLEMENTARY FILES\\TOOL PALETTES") set your path here eg "C:\\Users\\." I'm sort of a newb at this and I'm having a bit of trouble getting it working. (vla-put-toolPalettePath pFiles (strcat tpPaths " " tpPath)) add your new path to the string dividing paths with a " "įirst, thanks to you guys for posting an incredibly helpful lisp.

I am deploying some palettes to my team but want to ensure that if they already have their own elsewhere, it doesn't delete that path.Īny ideas? i just want it to be in addition to any existing paths, rather than overwriting what someone may have there.
