Previously, Paul Munford wrote a great tip how you can use macros to conveniently work with AutoCAD layout and viewport.
If you haven’t follow his tutorial, you really miss those great tools. If you don’t have time to follow the tutorial, Paul Munford shares his tool palette file, so you can just use them.
You can download the tool palettes and import it to your AutoCAD. Click here to download it.

How do you bring these palette macros into AutoCAD Architecture? I don't find "Import" in the "Customize Palette" dialog in AutoCAD Architecture…
Great post, thanks.
