You can build tool palettes using several methods.
Tool palettes are a great tool that offers quick access to many AutoCAD tools and commands. You can expand the usability of AutoCAD tool palettes by making your own palette to store favorite blocks, dimension style, hatch patterns and even commands. The AutoCAD Tool Palette is a great way to implement CAD standards across your company. It's an important method to increase productivity.
Methods for Creating Tool Palettes
- Use the tool palette shortcut menu to create a new, empty palette.
- Use a DesignCenter shortcut menu to create a tool palette tab with predetermined content.
Methods for Adding Tools to Tool Palettes

- Drag tools from your drawing. Tools include geometric objects, dimensions, fills, blocks, xrefs, raster images, and tables. You can also add lights, cameras, visual styles, and materials (not available in AutoCAD LT).
- Drag drawings, blocks, and hatches from DesignCenter. Drawings that are added to a tool palette are inserted as blocks when dragged into the drawing.
- Drag toolbar buttons from the Customize dialog box.
- Drag commands from the Command List pane on the Customize User Interface (CUI) Editor.
- Paste tools from one tool palette to another.
Customize Tool Palettes
Once you've created a palette, modify it to suit your needs:
- Rearrange the tools by dragging or sorting them.
- Add text and separator lines.
- Move a tool palette tab up and down the list of tabs by using the shortcut menu or Customize dialog box.
- Delete tool palettes that you no longer need. (Tool palettes that are deleted are lost unless they are first saved by exporting them to a file.)
- Set the path to your tool palettes on the Files tab in the Options dialog box. This path can be to a shared network location.
- Associate a customizable tool palette group with each panel on the ribbon.
- Change the palette's read-only status in the Palettes folder. If a tool palette is set to be read-only, a lock icon is displayed in a lower corner of the tool palette. This indicates that you cannot modify the tool palette beyond changing its display settings and rearranging the icons.

Tool palettes provide convenient access to a variety of tools and content.
Tool palettes are a standard feature in AutoCAD. You can open tool palettes using the ToolPalettes command, or from the ribbon.
Tool palettes provide access to both AutoCAD and AutoCAD Civil 3D tools and content. For example, the AutoCAD Civil 3D tool palettes provide access to subassemblies and assemblies that you can use in corridor design. They also provide access to civil engineering related render materials and multi-view blocks.
The AutoCAD tool palettes provide access to items such as AutoCAD render materials, AutoCAD multi-view blocks, and AutoCAD visual styles.
You can drag and drop an item from a Tool Palette into the drawing to insert it. Any prompts that are required for inserting the item are displayed at the command line.
Tool palettes can be customized to suit your needs. For more information on working with tool palettes, see 'Tool Palettes' in the AutoCAD Help.
