A Toolbox Built Just for You
You can edit the Toolbox content and the Report Settings 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 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 custom 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 1.12 to open the Toolbox Editor in
Panorama.
2 . Click the button shown here to add a new root category.
3 . Click 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 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 the name to edit it in
the preview area. Change the name to VBA, and press ↵.
6 . Right-click the VBA category, and select New Tool.
