+ | ======Importing New Toolbars Into Your Workspace====== | ||
+ | |||
+ | > **Important: | ||
+ | |||
+ | Download the toolbar file (.tb) you want. Place it on your hard drive somewhere you can find it. The easiest place is probably the same folder where your normal or default workspace resides. | ||
+ | |||
+ | The dialog will show a list of toolbars contained in the file (there can be one or many). | ||
+ | |||
+ | You can then put the toolbar where you want it and use it like that. Or, you can move or copy the buttons from the imported toolbar to existing toolbars, and having done so, discard the original. | ||
+ | |||
+ | =====Opening a new workspace or toolbar===== | ||
+ | **// | ||
+ | |||
+ | The procedure is essentially the same as above, except once that you get into the Toolbar layout dialog, click **File > Open** //(not **Toolbar > Import**)// | ||
+ | |||
+ | Copying or moving buttons from one workspace to another will permanently import them. So this is another way to import a toolbar –- simply open the .tb file with the toolbar dialog, copy or move all the buttons into your current workspace, then close it again. | ||
+ | |||
+ | > **Advice:** //If you have changed the default workspace (**default.tb**) in any significant way, we highly recommend that you save it under a new name. New installations or updates of Rhino can overwrite the **default.tb**, | ||
+ | |||
+ | =====Exporting one or more toolbars===== | ||
+ | |||
+ | It is also possible to export toolbars or toolbar collections so that you can share them with someone else. | ||
+ | |||
+ | **If you have only one toolbar with only a few buttons to export, the easiest way is:** | ||
+ | |||
+ | In the toolbar dialog, click **New**, in the browse box, give the file a name and save it somewhere. (Suggestion: | ||
+ | |||
+ | While still in the toolbar editor, you should now notice that you have the new workspace open. If you click on it, you will see that it is blank, i.e. there no toolbars in it -- yet. So, while it is highlighted, | ||
+ | |||
+ | Now, with **Ctrl+LMB**, | ||
+ | |||
+ | That's it. You can now locate your new workspace file where you have saved it. It will have your one newly created toolbar in it. You can share this file with a friend. They can either use **Import** to import the whole toolbar at once, or just open it in parallel with their existing workspace and drag the buttons over. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Don't forget, if there are external references or scripts to send those as well... | ||
+ | |||
+ | **If you want to export several bigger toolbars, then it's generally easier to:** | ||
+ | |||
+ | Again, in the toolbar dialog, click **New**, in the browse box, give the file a name and save it somewhere (this is your export file). | ||
+ | |||
+ | While still in the toolbar editor, you should now see the new workspace. | ||
