In AutoCAD 2008 we added the ability to switch Tool Palettes and Groups at the AutoCAD command line with the command TPNAVIGATE. This means you can now use this in a LISP or in your menu to change the current Tool Palette.
From the AutoCAD 2008 Help
Command entry: TPNAVIGATE
Specify tool palette to display or [palette Group]: Enter a tool palette name, or enter g
- Tool Palette Name
Displays the specified tool palette.
Specifying a tool palette that is not part of the current group, displays the specified palette and its palette group.- Palette Group
Displays the following prompt.
Specify palette group to display: Enter the name of a valid tool palette group.
Displays the specified tool palette group. The initial prompt repeats so you can specify a tool palette name.Note TPNAVIGATE opens the Tool Palettes window if closed.
