The Nickster Posted May 11, 2016 Share Posted May 11, 2016 I am having a bit of an issue. My work computer has AutoCAD 2015 on it, my home computer has AutoCAD 2013. Yesterday I tried exporting a couple of the tool palettes I use at work so I could work from home. I exported them and emailed the .xtp files to myself. I got home and tried to import the xtp files and they came in but they weren't recognized and the objects from the palettes could not be placed into any drawing. I even tried dragging the .xtp file into a new drawing and that did not work. Is it because the palette came from ACAD 2015 and was going into ACAD 2013? If so, is there a way to save back to 2013 when exporting? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbroada Posted May 11, 2016 Share Posted May 11, 2016 do you have all the objects you want on your home computer? I understand the palette to be a reference to where to find the object, not the object itself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand the palette to be a reference to where to find the object, not the object itself. Now that you mention it, no. That would make sense. Now then do I just copy the blocks (in this case) and paste them into my CAD at home? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbroada Posted May 11, 2016 Share Posted May 11, 2016 I think so, but you may have to replicate paths, its a long time since I tried it. If they are just blocks I would tend to copy them all in to a folder on your home computer and either make it one of youor pathed folders and insert them from the command line or create a new palette from that folder.
