If you are refferring to flyout toolbars the answer is yes. When creating your button using the "customize" command, you will find on the toobars tab a checkbox option "Insert as Flyout". Use this to create buttons under your main button. Does this help? Do you need a more step by step approach?

David,
I think Philip wants to insert a block with some attributes and he will be using a customized toolbar icon to allow him to select the type of block.
It appears he is a new user and may not be fully up to speed with the correct CAD terminology.
Philip is this what you want?
1/ Create a bitmap icon 15x16 units of the sink or product.
2/ Create a new toolbar and use the bitmap icon.
3/ Create a drawing of the product in CAD and add the part number and price as an attribute (make them fixed or invisible - you can turn these on/off later).
4/ Block the CAD drawing to save it within the existing drawing or WBlock to save this as a seperate drawing.
5/ On the new toolbar icon add a command that inserts either the Block or seperate drawing in your layout.
I have used the correct terminology so you can use these words in the help area to find out how each activity is carried out.
Regards
John Finlay

I agree John, I think Philip may have the terminology just a bit off. As Philip may be a newer user I would like to take your excellent explanation just one step further, if I may.
Philip,
On John’s step #5 the command you might enter would look similar to this except you would fill in your block or wblock name where I have BLOCKNAME:
^C^C^C_INSERT;BLOCKNAME;\;;;
The ^C^C^C cancels out any command you may possibly be in at the time.
The semicolon ; is equivalent to an enter.
The backslash \ is equivalent to a pause for user input and in this case allows you to choose where you want to insert your block.
I welcome everyone to our forum and hope you continue to use it. We value your input.
Thank you,
Melodie
