    Hi,
    Can somebody explain me what autocad is doing when you set the icon image
    for an existing toolbar button and for a new button?
    After I change the icon, autocad shows the old icon.
    It looks that even if I use save as and save the icon on autocad's search
    path, autocad still creates an icon file random named (RCDA0257 for example)
    to the current working folder.
    thank you
    Emil

    If you are creating a custom icon to be used in a toolbar, you need to
    modify the menu where the toolbar is located and code the actual icon file
    name (and path if needed) so that the icon can be displayed.

    Below is an example of one of my icons located in the TOOLBARS section of my
    acad.mnu:

    ***TOOLBARS

    **TB_COLUMN
    ID_COL_0 [_Toolbar("Col",_Floating,_Show,400,50,0)]
    ID_COLUP_0 [_Button("Colup", "0041.bmp", "0041.bmp")]^c^c(if (not colup)(load
    "colup"));colup
    ID_EXTEND_0 [_Button("extend", "icon5556.bmp", "icon5556.bmp")]extend
