Import tool palettes from ADT to AutoCAD

[cggentry]

Anybody know how to get my .atc to be recognized by standard autoCAD?

It's looking for a .xpg. I'm trying to convince corporate that they're wasting money on ADT, but it'll be very hard to do, if I can't get these tool palettes to work...

 

Thanks in advance.

ADT palettes are not going to work in plain Autocad, as far as I know. They contain special AECC objects that Autocad does not understand and cannot use. And think about it, if you could simply take your ADT palettes and stick them in Autocad, why would anyone buy ADT? Although, ADT is no more. Architectural Desktop is now called Autocad Architecture, and has been since 2008.

They're not ADT's tool palettes. They're 2D blocks that have no special properties. And I know ADT is now called Architecture, but I assumed anybody who would be able to answer my question would know that they're the same thing.
