These are a set of tool palettes that 'should' work on all versions of AutoCAD from 2012
and on. That being said, little testing has been done so use at your own risk. There is still
some cleanup to be done so check the file date frequently and download the latest
whenever possible.
The palettes are configured to run from the C:\Users\Public\Documents folder.
To load and use...
Copy the ZIP file to the C:\Users\Public\Documents folder and unzip it into that folder.
