A Toolbox Built Just For You
The Toolbox content and the Report Settings can be edited by selecting the desired tool, right-clicking,
and then executing. Don’t limit yourself to the default reports that ship in the Toolbox, though. Many
firms find that adding their in-house customizations to the Toolbox gives them better results and is
more easily managed at a central level than by customizing via the AutoCAD common user interface
(CUI) and workspace functionality.
Let’s add one of the sample Civil 3D Visual Basic Application (VBA) macros to a new Toolbox:
1.
Click the Edit Toolbox Content button shown in Figure 1.13 to open the Toolbox Editor in Panorama.
2.
Click the button shown here to add a new root category.
3. Click on the Root Category1 toolbox that appears. The name will appear in the preview area, where
you can edit it. Change the name to Sample Files , and press ↵ .
4. Right-click on the Sample Files toolbox, and select New Category as shown here.
5.
Expand the Sample Files toolbox to view the new category, and then click on the name to edit it in
the preview area. Change the name to VBA , and press ↵ .
6.
Right-click on the VBA category and select New Tool.
7.
Expand the VBA category to view the new tool, and then click on the name to edit it in the preview
area. Change its name to Pipe Export .
