If you do not explicitly set a location, the following default behavior is selected depending on how you
created your project:
Project Tool Palette Group
Tool Palette File Location
Project Type
Created, but not displayed. To display the tool
palette group in the tool palettes set and add
tools to it, see
“
Displaying the Project Tool
Palette Group
” on page 353
and
“
Building
the Tool Palette Group
” on page 354
.
pointing to new empty ATC file under
\<ProjectName>\Standards\
WorkspaceToolPalettes\ <ProjectName>.atc
Legacy project from
Architectural Desktop
2005/2006
Created, but not displayed. To display the tool
palette group in the tool palettes set and add
tools to it, see
“
Displaying the Project Tool
Palette Group
” on page 353
and
“
Building
the Tool Palette Group
” on page 354
.
pointing to new empty ATC file under
\<ProjectName>\Standards\
WorkspaceToolPalettes\ <ProjectName>.atc
New project not based on a
template
Created and displayed with empty default tool
palette. To add tools and palettes, see
“
Building the Tool Palette Group
” on page
354
.
pointing to new ATC file under
\<ProjectName>\Standards\
WorkspaceToolPalettes\ <ProjectName>.atc. By
default, one empty tool palette is already
inserted in ATC.
New project based on
default AutoCAD
Architecture template
project
Displayed as either copied tool palette group
or referenced tool palette group
If the tool palette group of the template
project is located within the template project
folder, it will be copied with all contained
palettes to the corresponding folder of the
new project. The tool palette file location of
the new project will point to the copied tool
palette group.
New project based on user-
defined existing template
project
If the tool palette group of the template
project is located outside the template project
folder, the tool palette file location of the new
project will point to the same location, sharing
the tool palette group with the template
project.

For Tool Palette Storage Type, select Shared Workspace Catalog or Per User Workspace Catalog.
If you select Shared Workspace Catalog, the path selected under Tool Palette File Location is added to the
user’s project profile (AWS), and the tool catalog is used from the specified location. If you select Per User
Workspace Catalog, a folder is created under \\Documents and Settings\<User Name>\ and the tool palettes
are copied to that folder.
5
Under Tool Content Root Path, you can set a root path for the tools used in the project tool palette group.
When tools on project palettes are created with the tool content root path specified in the project setup,
the content root path is created as a variable (%AECPROJECT_DIR%). When the tool content root path in
the project setup is changed, and the referenced style drawings are moved to the new location, the path
of the project tools is changed accordingly.
NOTE When a project is re-pathed, and the content root path is within the project folder, it will be re-pathed
accordingly.
WARNING When you re-path a project that was saved in a version of Architectural Desktop prior to 2007, the
drawings are saved in the Architectural Desktop 2007 file format. You will no longer be able to open these
drawings in a version of Architectural Desktop prior to 2007. Synchronizing a project with the project standards
will also save the project drawings in the Architectural Desktop 2007 file format. AutoCAD Architecture 2008
uses the Architectural Desktop 2007 file format so drawings are interchangeable between these releases. For
more information, see
“
Updating (Re-path) the Project
” on page 292
