Transferring custom toolbars from Rhino 7 to 8

[ruggles_jase]

My team just upgraded from Rhino 7 for Mac to Rhino 8. Is there a way to transfer the custom toolbars I’ve created? Everything I’ve found seems to indicate this isn’t possible with the Mac version of Rhino.

Here is our guide on the topic.

I was looking through this guide before I posted. I don’t see any way to export toolbars from Rhino 7 for Mac, just Rhino 7 for windows. Is that not possible on Mac?

How to create custom toolbars on mac that can be shared with other users easily?

Hi @rrp - No, not exactly. The limitation is only on these tabs: [Screen Shot 2021-09-24 at 8.13.39 AM] You cannot customize these in Rhino 5, 6, or 7. We hope to eliminate this limitation in Rhino 8 (@JohnM is actively working on it now). That said, today, in Rhino 5, 6 and 7, you can add your own custom “tool palettes” (the Mac word for Toolbars). You can transfer these with ExportPreferences and ImportPreferences.
