kaddy Posted March 3, 2009 Share Posted March 3, 2009 I follow AutoCAD Tutorial "Object Snap". I don't understand how to add the "Toolbar" or "button" Object snap to my desktop? I use AutoCad 2009. Can someone help me please! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ritch7 Posted March 3, 2009 Share Posted March 3, 2009 if you want to add a toolbar kaddy, right click anywhere on the outside boarder untill a tab comes comes up with stuff like ACAD EXPRESS .... ... depends what program you're running for the exact list, but the basics for autocad are in ACAD click then tick or un-tick the toolbars you want. Is this what you're after? or are you trying to customize a toolbar spefically, anyway if that dosen't help be sure to look at the bottom of the page to see the similiar threads. Note: Object-Snap is at the bottom left "0-SNAP" use F3 TO ENABLE/DISABLE IT?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReMark Posted March 3, 2009 Share Posted March 3, 2009 In AutoCAD 2009 Help search for the topic toolbar buttons, customizing. On the Concept tab view the Show me topic Create a Toolbar. Clicking on the PLAY arrow will start the animation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee Mac Posted March 3, 2009 Share Posted March 3, 2009 To enable a toolbar, either right-click anywhere on free space on the user interface and select the toolbar to enable. Or, alternatively, go to "View" "Toolbars". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReMark Posted March 3, 2009 Share Posted March 3, 2009 The Ribbon now rules in 2009 which is what the OP is using. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kaddy Posted March 3, 2009 Author Share Posted March 3, 2009 Thank you for your answers but... to be honest I still don't understand this. I use AC2009 and have "opened" the ribbon and made space for more toolbars. I find the toolbar I want "Object Snap" at window "Customize user interface". But I can't move the toolbar to the emty ribbon space. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReMark Posted March 3, 2009 Share Posted March 3, 2009 There is already an Object Snap button at the bottom of the screen in AC 2009 isn't there? You want to add a second one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kaddy Posted March 3, 2009 Author Share Posted March 3, 2009 Thank you ReMark! I just found something similar in the help file. "To copy an existing toolbar to ribbon panels". I tried it and I notice that "something" installs - but I can't see any new toolbar! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kaddy Posted March 3, 2009 Author Share Posted March 3, 2009 I can add that if I RIGHT CLICK on the Object Snap button I see and can use the toolbar I was looking for. It solved my problem in a way but I would have liked to have that toolbar accessible all the time. Maybe I can learn that when I'm more experienced Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nailer341 Posted September 15, 2012 Share Posted September 15, 2012 You can use toolbars and ribbons within the same cad profile. I have mine set up so that the ribbons are hidden until I want to use them. The toolbars remain the primary way I get to commands, and they remain in place after closing and reopening ADT. I got them in place by going to "CUILOAD" command and loading "ACAD". All toolbars become available that you were used to using in older AutoCad as well as the many new functions. I hope this helps some of you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BIGAL Posted September 16, 2012 Share Posted September 16, 2012 Heres a slightly different way, this is using a partial menu but creates a toolbar, you just save as a MNU file and use menuload. You can edit in notepad etc. ***MENUGROUP=BIGALSTOOLBAR ***TOOLBARS **BIGALSTOOLS ID_TbModify [_Toolbar("BIGAL", _Right, _Show, 0, 0, 1)] AECC_ShowTS [_Button("Show Toolspace", RCDATA_16_IMAGE, RCDATA_16_IMAGE)]^C^C^C^P_ShowTS ID_Matchprop [_Button("Match Properties", RCDATA_16_MATCH, RCDATA_16_MATCH)]^C^C_matchprop ID_Erase [_Button("Erase", RCDATA_16_ERASE, RCDATA_32_ERASE)]^C^C_erase ID_Copy [_Button("Copy", RCDATA_16_COPYOB, RCDATA_32_COPYOB)]$M=$(if,$(eq,$(substr,$(getvar,cmdnames),1,4),GRIP),_copy,^C^C_copy) ID_Mirror [_Button("Mirror", RCDATA_16_MIRROR, RCDATA_32_MIRROR)]$M=$(if,$(eq,$(substr,$(getvar,cmdnames),1,4),GRIP),_mirror,^C^C_mirror) ID_Offset [_Button("Offset", RCDATA_16_OFFSET, RCDATA_32_OFFSET)]^C^C_offset ID_Array [_Button("Array...", RCDATA_16_ARRREC, RCDATA_32_ARRREC)]^C^C_array ID_Move [_Button("Move", RCDATA_16_MOVE, RCDATA_32_MOVE)]$M=$(if,$(eq,$(substr,$(getvar,cmdnames),1,4),GRIP),_move,^C^C_move) ID_Rotate [_Button("Rotate", RCDATA_16_ROTATE, RCDATA_32_ROTATE)]$M=$(if,$(eq,$(substr,$(getvar,cmdnames),1,4),GRIP),_rotate,^C^C_rotate) ID_Scale [_Button("Scale", RCDATA_16_SCALE, RCDATA_32_SCALE)]$M=$(if,$(eq,$(substr,$(getvar,cmdnames),1,4),GRIP),_scale,^C^C_scale) ID_Stretch [_Button("Stretch", RCDATA_16_STRETC, RCDATA_32_STRETC)]$M=$(if,$(eq,$(substr,$(getvar,cmdnames),1,4),GRIP),_stretch,^C^C_stretch) ID_Trim [_Button("Trim", RCDATA_16_TRIM, RCDATA_32_TRIM)]^C^C_trim ID_Extend [_Button("Extend", RCDATA_16_EXTEND, RCDATA_32_EXTEND)]^C^C_extend ID_BreakSele [_Button("Break at Point", RCDATA_16_BREAKATPT, RCDATA_32_BREAKATPT)]^C^C_break \_f \@ ID_Break [_Button("Break", RCDATA_16_BRE2PT, RCDATA_32_BRE2PT)]^C^C_break ID_Join [_Button("Join", RCDATA_16_JOIN, RCDATA_32_JOIN)]^C^C_join ID_Chamfer [_Button("Chamfer", RCDATA_16_CHAMFE, RCDATA_32_CHAMFE)]^C^C_chamfer ID_Fillet [_Button("Fillet", RCDATA_16_FILLET, RCDATA_32_FILLET)]^C^C_fillet ID_Explode [_Button("Explode", RCDATA_16_EXPLODE, RCDATA_32_EXPLODE)]^C^C_explode ID_LAYFRZ [_Button("Layer, Layer Freeze", RCDATA_16_FRZLAY, RCDATA_32_FRZLAY)]^C^C_layfrz ID_LAYOFF [_Button("Layer Off", RCDATA_16_OFFLAY, RCDATA_32_OFFLAY)]^C^C_layoff ID_LAYISO [_Button("Layer Isolate", RCDATA_16_LAYISO,RCDATA_32_LAYISO)]^C^C_layiso MM_LAYUNISO [_Button("Layer Unisolate", RCDATA_16_LAYUNISO, RCDATA_32_LAYUNISO)]^C^C_Layuniso ID_LAYDEL [_Button("Layer, Layer Delete", RCDATA_16_LAYER_DELETE,RCDATA_32_LAYER_DELETE)]^C^C_laydel ID_Line [_Button("Line", RCDATA_16_LINE,RCDATA_32_LINE)]^C^C_line MM_1608 [_Button("Circle", RCDATA_16_CIRRAD,RCDATA_32_CIRRAD)]^C^C_circle MM_1607 [_Button("Arc", RCDATA_16_ARC3PT,RCDATA_32_ARC3PT)]^C^C_arc ID_Pline [_Button("Polyline", RCDATA_16_PLINE,RCDATA_32_PLINE)]^C^C_pline ID_Pedit [_Button("Polyline Edit", RCDATA_16_PEDIT, RCDATA_32_PEDIT)]^C^C_pedit ID_DrawordeB [_Button("Draw Order, Send to Back", RCDATA_16_SN2BCK,RCDATA_32_SN2BCK)]^C^C^P_ai_draworder _Back ^P ID_Appload [_Button("Load Application...", RCDATA_16_LOAD_APPLICATIONS,RCDATA_16_LOAD_APPLICATIONS)]^C^C_appload Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
