Your Customization Guide covers the creation of toolbars. Refer to the chapter entitled User Interface Customization. Another source of information is Michael's Corner, a monthly feature of CADTutor, written by Michael Beall. Click on the button above. Note that there is an archive of all past columns written by Mr. Beall that can be accessed as well.

Creating a new toolbar in AutoCAD 2007

Type CUI at the command line then press Enter.

On the Customize tab, under the heading, Customization in All CUI Files, right-click on Toolbars and on the flyout select New then Toolbar.

Notice that a new toolbar [Toolbar1] has been placed at the bottom of the Toolbars tree (left-hand pane).

Enter a new name. Let’s call ours MyLisps. Click off to the side in a blank area. MyLisps has been added to the tree.

Click on the toolbar MyLisps and update the Properties in the left-hand pane. Properties that you can change are:

-Description

-Default Display

-Orientation

-Default X location

-Default Y location

-Rows

-Aliases

Example. For Descriptions you might type: My custom lisp routines.

Example. For Aliases you might type: TB_MyLisps,ML

Any new commands you created can now be dragged and dropped onto your toolbar.

When done click on Apply then on the OK button. AutoCAD will pause to incorporate the changes you have just made and when you are returned to your screen the new toolbar will be visible. It will also be listed in the Toolbar menu when you right-click at the edge of any toolbar.

Yeah!

You guys get all the fan mail.

You may be more of a button user the command line but one other thing to have AutoCAD automatically start with lisp routines loaded:

Command line: appload

go to contents.

find your .lsp's you want to have loaded at startup and add them.

You will need to do this anyway if you plan on using your lisps from a custom made toolbar.

if you only use toolbar buttons try something like this:

 ^C^C(load "c:\\location\\filename.lsp");lispprogramname;

if you only use toolbar buttons try something like this:

 

 ^C^C(load "c:\\location\\filename.lsp");lispprogramname;

eg.

^C^C(or c:NAME (load <FileLocation> nil));NAME

You could also use (if (not, but I just like (or.

Oh yeah, Reese, you should read this link about load/autoload (to avoid errors).
