Specify Current Tool Palette or Group - New in AutoCAD 2008 TPNAVIGATE

In AutoCAD 2008 we added the ability to switch Tool Palettes and Groups at the AutoCAD command line with the command TPNAVIGATE. This means you can now use this in a LISP or in your menu to change the current Tool Palette.

From the AutoCAD 2008 Help

Command entry: TPNAVIGATE

Specify tool palette to display or [palette Group]: Enter a tool palette name, or enter g

• Tool Palette Name
  Displays the specified tool palette.
  Specifying a tool palette that is not part of the current group, displays the specified palette and its palette group.
• Palette Group
  Displays the following prompt.
  Specify palette group to display: Enter the name of a valid tool palette group.
  
  Displays the specified tool palette group. The initial prompt repeats so you can specify a tool palette name.

Note TPNAVIGATE opens the Tool Palettes window if closed.
