ACAD 2005 - sharing tool pallets? 1

[NCCaryME]

We have started using AutoCAD 2005, but are having trouble with one of the time-saving tools that we like to use. AutoCAD 2005 uses "tool pallets", where we can store commonly used blocks and easily insert them into drawings. When a new block is drawn, it can be saved to the pallets. It's a great tool, but we CAN NOT find a way to share these between users. Basically, every designer is having to create his/her own tool pallets from scratch, even though we use the same blocks and shapes.

Is there a way to share these pallets between users?

You can export the pallets (Customize > Tool Palletes; right click on the pallet > Export.) But I think if you have blocks the images don't follow. You'll have to find the .png files and copy them to the new computer. Or use a common folder for the pallets when creating the pallet(Options > Files > Tool Pallets Files Locations)

The blocks that I am referring to actual AutoCAD entities, not images. We had not run across the Customize > Tool Pallets > Export feature. That worked perfectly, and took all of our blocks with it. Thanks!!
