The Price of an Iconone toolbar to another. It is wise not to move or change the default toolbars - simply turn them off when you are done. 8. If you drag an icon from a toolbar onto the ACAD drawing area it will delete the icon from the toolbar. If you drag an icon from the dialog box to the ACAD drawing area, it will create a new toolbar! 9. If you choose from the Custom group either the blank icon or the blank flyout icon, you can create your own bitmap for it, and code by right clicking on the icon in the toolbar. You can also edit any icon's code and bitmap this way too to create your own icons. Be very careful when creating new icons that you use the "Save As" and not the "Save" button, because otherwise you will overwrite ACAD's default bitmap for that icon. 10. When you are done creating your new toolbars, turn off the old ones, and re-arrange the new ones for maximum efficiency. Hint: When you are editing the button's code and bitmap, press apply when done, then in the upper right corner click the X to close the dialog box. It should have a "Close" button, but for some reason they forgot it on this box.
