*Customize cell icons in your Cell Selector* button bar**
Here's a fabulous tip from Scott Harmon where he describes how you can easily customize the display of the icons in your Cell Selector dialog: I use this technique to customize the cell selector when I want the icon to display a little differently than the actual cell that will be placed. To do this, just copy the cells to a different cell library, modify the graphics to how you'd like them to appear as an icon, and then configure each Library button setting to this modified cell library. The Key-In field then gets configured to attach and place the actual cell. The keyin needs to include attaching the library of the cell you want to place if the cell name is the same as the one used for the icon cell, or the cell name is not found in a library defined by MS_CELLLIST. Library: - Note the name of my cell library used for the icons only: plumicon for plumbing icons. Keyin: - The actual cell being placed is coming from a different cell library. aplumb.
