Added a new toolbar but would like to make it objects sprayable from toolbar

[Frenchy1]

I have added some of my custom library objects to some custom toolbars I've made, but would like to have it so when you click them, they use the object painter mode. For example, say if I have an awning window and I want to change it to a double-hung window, I click the double-hung window icon in my toolbar, and it paints instantly over the awning automatically without having to add the window to my plan first, then use the object eyedropper to pick it, then spray it over something.

 

Is this just possible or am I just making stuff up

This belongs in Q&A section. 

Style pallets work well for spraying.

Thanks Mark as far as I was aware the style palette only really changes the textures or adds hardware onto say cabinets where it doesn't you couldn't use it to transform a two door base unit into a three draw unit. I was more thinking along the lines of object eye dropper tool picking up the attributes of a toolbar button and an applying them directly onto another object

Did you bother to try a Style Palette or just assume you knew all that they could do? You can make it to change the type of window. I was away so just tested to make sure my memory was not gone. 

Select a double hung window, make a new Style Palette, Open the settings, clear all, select type (you may also want to select the schedule type and glass). Then if you want add that library item to your toolbar though I just keep SPs in the library in specific folders.

NOTE- Also IF you had the default window set as awning and you want to change ALL of those to double hung you can do that by changing the default.
