Quick Access Toolbar Issues

Adding Items to the Quick Access Toolbar (QAT)
Problem:
Customization does not stick.

  1. Make sure all Service Packs have been applied.
  2. The QAT is Environment specific. In other words, adding something like "iProperties" in the active Part environment does not add it to the Assembly environment.
  3. Items must be added in each active environment.
