Note to AutoCAD 2004 users only: The acad.mns default location is (take a breath):Ĭ:\Documents and Settings\Your Name\Application Data\Autodesk\AutoCAD 2004\R16.0\enu\Support. Therefore, it is a REALLY good idea to backup all menu files (*.mn?) before creating your own toolbar. When you create a toolbar from within AutoCAD, it is automatically saved to the acad.mns file, not in acad.mnu. Michael The Garden Variety Toolbar Where does my custom toolbar live?

Hopefully there will be a few insights here to take your AutoCAD "up a notch". We take a look at the semi-related feature of Profiles, as well as how to save some time when you launch AutoCAD and want to begin with your own template and newly-created Profile.

If you do repetitive procedures, having a "button" or tool to hit can be very efficient, especially if that tool combines several commands. Over the last few weeks I have been fixing over 100 drawings for a customer and in so doing, have come across several features that I'd like to share with you all.
