palette not updated with user.lib files

[richjoh]

I took a certified driver file, put it in user.lib, rename the project file and containing folder. I opened the renamed project, change the VI icon colors of all project files, relink all missing files to user.lib directory, saved all the files, saved the project. Then I restart LV2014 and no menu appear in Tools User Libraries.

Has anyone tested this using LV2014 or older?

Try editing your palette.  Tools->Advanced->Edit Palette Set.

Thanks for the fast response.

I fixed it by deleting the menu (*.mnu) files in all (sub)folders and restarting. Those menu files were for the original certified driver files (pointing to the original VIs I keep in instr.lib).

Just an FYI there is a Refresh Palette funciton under the Application Control >> Palette Editing which can be used for testing.  It won't refresh the tools menu but it allows you to modify files and MNUs in the user.lib then call that refresh to see if it worked without having to restart LabVIEW.
