Share a Custom toolbar

Stress Co_

Is there a way to share a custom toolbar without also sharing the menu structure?

I created a toolbar in AC12 and I want to use it in AC13. If I export the "Command Layout Schemes" I lose the new AC13 items in the menu structure ("Project Preferences" to name just one).

Do I have to rebuild the toolbar from scratch?

AFAIK there is no way to separate the toolbars from the menus. I have even tried editing the XML to no avail. This is a serious limitation in the WE settings.

Thanks Matthew.
I was afraid of that... I just rebuilt the toolbar.

Does this look correct? "Preferences..." in the Archicad drop-down menu is grayed out?

If "Project Preferences" replaces it, then why is it even there?

Marc, I moved the Working Units and had same greyed out Prefs.
Check the Standard WE and you will see how it is there.
In fact, just checked myself and Working Units appear under "Preferences" & "Project Preferences"

Hi Rod:
If I revert to "Standard Profile 13" (or any other profile) I still get the same result.
I could have sworn it wasn't like this the first time I used that profile (working units were within the "Preferences" drop-down... uh, I think).

New & reset did nada.

Oh well.
