Add commands to tool palettes from the CUI dialog box in AutoCAD 2007

As you probably know, you can add commands to a tool palette. Before AutoCAD 2007, you could only do this by choosing Tools > Customize > Tool Palettes to open the Customize dialog box. Then you could drag commands from toolbar buttons.

Now, you can also drag commands from the Customize User Interface dialog box. Just right-click the Tool Palettes window and choose Customize Commands. This opens the Customize User Interface dialog box.

Then just drag commands from the Command List section of the dialog box onto any tool palette. If you want, choose Custom Commands from the Categories drop-down list -- this is a great way to get custom commands onto the tool palette.
