Set a Customized Tool Chest as the Default "My Tools"

Kshorts · 2025-06-03T13:47:22+00:00

There was an error rendering this rich post.

Is there a way to set a customized Tool Chest/Tool Box as the "My Tools" default, so that the symbols/markups you have in your custom set can have the number shortcuts? I have created my own "My Tools" with customized formatted markups. However, I was hoping to share them with others in the office so they don't have to place them in the doc and individually add them into their "My Tools" one markup type at a time.

Yes you can share toolbox files or profiles easily. Most companies manage a centralized toolbox or profile, or customize the install so everyone has the same settings. You'll find plenty of info online on this.
