I have saved 24 drawn volume profiles with various settings and 24 type text configurations. But when I attempt to setup buttons on the control bar via

customize control bar>available control bar commands>tools

i only see a total of 24 tool configs to add as buttons, not 24 each.

The documentation states there are 24 per tool, or am I misunderstanding something?

What you are viewing in "Customize Control Bars >> Tools" is the actual 24 individual configuration selections. In other words, if you selected a tool first, you could then select the paticular configuration (1-24) that you would want to use with it.

YOu need to open the section for "Tools >> Custom Drawing Tools" to setup a control bar button that selects a tool and a configuration. There are 150 of these buttons available in that section.
