6.7 WHAT IS A TOOL PALETTE?
°
The
Design Center
gives us the ability to share data from other fi les.
However, you need to make sure you are at the right layer and specify the
rotation angle, scale factor, etc. Also, you need to search for the desired
content each and every time.
Tool Palette
will solve all of these problems.
Tool Palette
will keep blocks, hatch, and other items available for you
regardless of which drawing you are using. You can keep virtually anything
inside a Tool Palette.
Tool Palette
works with the same drag-and-drop method we used with the
Design Center
, but in
Tool Palette
the method will be done in two ways:
from
Tool Palette
and to
Tool Palette
.
Tool Palette
is unique per computer in the sense that it is not limited to
one particular drawing. Therefore, if you create/customize a Tool Palette, it
will be available for all your drawings.
