Where are the Icons for drawing & editing stored

David Waight

I have been trialling Bricscad, which has now run out, but in anticipation of purchasing it I was going to create some user icons based on the existing drawing and editing icons for some new commands I want to add.

I have looked everywhere for them, and even ran the demo movie for creating new menus and toolbars to see where they were, but I can't find them!

Does anybody know where they are and in what format?

Thanks in advance,

Dahzee

Custom Tool Creation (pertaining to v10) info here:

Just about any image can be used as icon, if resampled to 16 x 16 pixel bitmap.

Robt,

Thanks for taking the time to reply, unfortunately my demo has expired and I am unable to access the icons/bitmaps in the way suggested in the help files.

There doesn't seem to be a directory that can be accessed in Windows Explorer that holds the icons.

I presume the icons are within exe or dll files so can't be navigated to.

I appreciate that I can create my own, it would just have been nice to create some in advance by having access to the originals so I can make mine similar to the rest of the programs icons.

I will just have to wait until I purchase Bricscad before I can get to them.

Thanks Again,

Dahzee

Bricscad has no toolbar button editing capability.
I suspect icons are tucked away in a reference dll somewhere (?).
Workaround: DL toolbar graphics: http://www.bricsys.com/bricscad/help/en_US/V10/UsrGui/source/01_User_Interface/01_01_Toolbars.htm
Save toolbar(s) as image files.
Crop button desired.
Edit as required using your graphics proggie of choice.
Resample to 16x16 pixels.
In Toolbar Customization, you can then assign edited image file.

Robt,

Absolutely brilliant, thanks for finding this for me.

It is more than good enough to get me started!

Appreciate the time taken to help me.

Many Thanks,
