Normally, the Load Muntins button will appear when you select the window or door in an elevation view when the program finds a suitable cad block to load.  The program can sometimes be a bit finicky about what it considers a suitable cad block though.  For example, the cad block has to cover a certain percentage of the window glass to be considered suitable so you can't just draw a single line, block it,  and make custom muntins out of it.

I know that there are over 1300 toolbar buttons but can someone tell me where I can find the Load Muntin toolbar button.  I have done a search and it does not show up at all and I cannot seem to find it anywhere.  Where did you find it Michael?  Dermot, I saw this being done on one of the Love shack drawings but did not see the Load Muntins button and it is not showing up when I pick my window...
