Creating TC buttons for Vol Profiles

I create volume profiles that use different colors for the value area lines based on the timeframe of the chart. I want to create TC buttons to make this process easy (e.g. once selected Draw Volume Profile, I want to be able to click on TC1, TC2, or TC3 to choose the color configuration I want. I found a link to a similar request that pointed the person here: Chart Drawing Tools: Creating Control Bar Buttons which Select Drawing Tool and Drawing Tool Configuration in One Step

However, in following the steps, step 4 refers to clicking a "Set Custom Tool" buttom - that button does not exist in the current version.

How do I achieve my objective of creating multiple volume profile configurations that can be generated by clicking a button in the Control Bar?

The "Set Custom Tool" button is present in the current versions, and is where it shows in the image. We have attached another image of the current window with the button highlighted.
For the most reliable, advanced, and zero cost futures order routing, use the Teton service:

I see what happened - the Command was on a blank row instead of the actual command so that button did not appear. Apologies.
