AutoCAD Architecture :: 2012 Tool Palettes - Unable To Execute
Nov 14, 2011I am running Windows 7 32 bit. I have Autodesk Architecture 2012 installed. When I try to run a simple wall tool from my tool pallette, I get the following error;
Unable to Execute the tool. Possible causes are:
- The tool is not registered properly. Please check your installation.
- The tool is from another application and is incompatible with the current application.
I recently had my entire computer wiped clean, upgraded from Windows XP to Windows 7, and reinstalled Arch 2012, so no other versions have been on this system. All of my basic drafting functions work fine.
I found an old thread about using Regedit to change the registry of the tool palettes, but that simply made my tool palette empty. I just installed this, so I don't understand why I would need to reinstall.
AutoCAD Architecture :: How To Get Old Custom Tool Palettes Into 2012 By Opening Content Browser
Feb 7, 2012I just migrated from 2006 to 2012... I was able to get my old custom tool palettes into 2012 by opening the Content Browser and idropping them. However I noticed that these palettes are not 'refreshable' like they used to be. In the Palette Properties it says *This palette is not shared from a catalog*... after doing a search of that message in these forums I found this thread: [URL]....
I followed David's instructions:
1. Created a new Palette Group
2. Created a new palette in that Group
3. i-dropped tools from my custom catalog in the Content Browser onto that new palette.
Still there is no 'refresh' option...???

AutoCAD Inventor :: Cannot Exit IV 2012 - Hangs On Exit
Dec 16, 2011I am using Inventor Product Design Suite 2012. When I try to exit Inventor 2012 it just hangs there indefinitely every time. I have to use task manager to shut down Inventor. It doesn't matter if I use Inventor during that session or not. It was installed with all default settings and most current patches installed. It was also installed with administrator privledges and UAC turned off. This ia a clean install on a new hard disk drive.
The AutoCAD products in the bundle will hang sometimes on exit if plotting was the last command in that session.
My system is:

Dual Zeon 3.0 GHz CPU's
4 GB Ram
NVidia Quadro FX1800 Graphics Card
Windows 7 Professional with all current updates
All drivers are current
There are no anti virus software packages on this system. The hard drive still has 120 GB free space.
AutoCAD Architecture :: Create Tag And Add To Tool Palettes
Apr 12, 2013How to create a tag and add it to my tool palettes for future use?
I am using AutoCAD Architecture 2012, and I want to be able to tag the bottom elevation of slabs in my drawings. I found I can create a tag by using the DEFINETAG command and I created text in there that is set to display the bottom elevation of slabs. I'm stuck as to where to go from here. I can't actually "tag" anything with this, and I don't know how to add it to my tool palettes.

AutoCAD Architecture :: Tool Palettes Design Group
Jul 7, 2011I've been using the design group in the tool palettes, and adding my own tool palettes as I create them.Today I login and see that my tool palettes is not docked to the left side of the screen anymore.So I push CTRL-3 to bring it back up.The tool palettes that I see there are the "All Palettes" group.
I cannot choose the design group, document group, detailing group, or the visualization group. They are not even selectable in the right click menu of the tool palette bar. But when I customize palettes the 4 groups show up there, but they are useless.And not even all the tool palettes are there. "Design" is missing, Windows, Doors. Any way of getting my palette groups back to the way it was before, other than re-installing autocad?

Apr 19, 2013I recently added a block ( by dragging & dropping from our dws block library file) to our shared Tool Palettes. The block showed up properly on everone's computer the day I added it. However each morning when we restart our computers the block is no longer on the palette and I have to redrag & drop it. I thought that prerhaps I needed to export the updated toolpalette, but when I go to the customize tool palettes dialog box and right click on the toolpalette I don't see the export or import options. I am at a loss. We are using AutoCAD Architecture 2013

View 3 Replies View RelatedAutoCAD Architecture :: Share Tool Palettes Within Office?
Apr 16, 2012ACA 2012
What's the best way to share tool palettes within an office?
I do it through profiles: I Created an 'office' profile (.arg) that I eventually share with every employee in the office. Whenever I add things to the tool palettes, I simply create a new profile for every user.
However, lately not every palette gets transferred. I've done a major reorganisation of the office tool palette and only a very small amount of palettes actually get transferred.

May 31, 2013 tool palettes from a directory called ACAD2008 to ACAD2012. Tool palettes can't find the associated blocks because the support path still points to the ACAD200 Directory.

AutoCAD Architecture :: 2012 - Revision Cloud And Tag Tool

3ds Max :: 2012 Crashes On Exit
Nov 4, 2011When working on an animation project our company has faced a strange problem. When switching from one network task to another 3dsmax is closed with an error, as shown in the screenshot. Since there are a lot of tasks, a number of such messages grows frightening.
Trying to get outside of a problem, we have tried all the combinations that came about. Backburner 2008 and 2012, 3dsmax 2012 with the service pack and without it, different versions of Vray, various workstations with Windows 7 and Windows 7 SP1, to no avail. As it turned out, the problem is not in the network rendering, but in the file itself.
There were no problems noticed when working with the file, but when one closes 3dsmax, there’s an error message again. Even if we clear the scene from objects, materials, and settings completely - the error remains. But most of all we were surprised by the fact that the saved cleared scene weights 86016 bytes, but an absolutely empty scene, saved right after the program was opened, takes 73729 bytes.

AutoCAD Architecture :: Unable To Drag And Drop Blocks Into Palettes
Sep 28, 2012I am creating new tool palettes for lab equipment blocks. I was able to create a new palette and drag and drop blocks into it. When I go to create other palettes I am unable to drag and drop blocks into them. I am able to drag and drop into the tool palette I previously created and then drag and drop into the new palette.
But when I shut off Autocad and reopen the new palettes disappear. How can I create a new tool palette and it works, then create other tool palettes and I can not drag and drop to it? I am using Autocad Architecture 2013.
