Bonus & Express Tools are Gone, But...
As of AutoCADŽ 2000i, the Bonus and Express Tools were omitted from AutoCADŽ. You can regain the use of some of these commands with a little trickery. Keep in mind that several of these tools have been incorporated into AutoCADŽ 2002. The following commands are part of AutoCADŽ 2002: ATTIN, ATTOUT, ATTSYNC, BATTMAN, CLOSEALL, FULLPATH, GATTE, LAYTRANS, MPEDIT, PACK, PLJOIN, PSBSCALE, and PSTSCALE.

AutoCADŽ 14 Bonus Tools
The Bonus Tools from AutoCADŽ 14 can be migrated to AutoCADŽ 2000i or 2002 by following three steps:

1. Add ..\Bonus\Cadtools to the AutoCAD Search Path in the Options command (the path will vary based on your installation. Note: If you are uninstalling AutoCADŽ 14, make a copy of this folder first.
2. Load the ac_bonus.mnl menu file.
3. Load the ac_bonus.lsp file (Note: add this file to the Startup Suite in the Load Applications command).

AutoCADŽ 2000 Express Tools
When you upgrade from AutoCAD 2000 to AutoCAD 2000i or AutoCAD 2002, you can migrate the Express Tools Library using one of the following methods.

Method #1
Install AutoCAD 2000i before you uninstall AutoCAD 2000 to ensure that Express Tools migrate into AutoCAD 2000i or AutoCAD 2002.

Method #2
Create a backup of the Express Tools Library before you install AutoCAD 2000i or AutoCAD 2002. Use this method if you need to completely uninstall AutoCAD 2000 before you install AutoCAD 2000i or AutoCAD 2002.

Use this procedure to back up the Express Tools library and then migrate the files to AutoCAD 2000i or AutoCAD 2002.

1. Before uninstalling AutoCAD 2000, make backup copies of the following Express Tools-related files:

• express\*.*
• support\acettest.fas
• help\acetmain.hlp
• help\acetmain.cnt
• help\acetfaq.hlp

2. Install AutoCAD 2000i or AutoCAD 2002, and reboot your computer.
3. Under the directory where you installed AutoCAD, create a subdirectory named Express. For example, if you installed AutoCAD on the C drive in the c:\program files\autocad 2000i directory, create the following directory: c:\program files\autocad 2000i\express.
4. Copy all of the Express Tools files from the express\*.* file that you backed up in step 1 into the new directory you created in step 3.
5. Copy the acettest.fas file to the AutoCAD support files subdirectory. For example, if you installed AutoCAD on the C drive in the c:\program files\autocad 2000i directory, the support files directory would be c:\program files\autocad 2000i\support.
6. Copy the acetmain.hlp, acetmain.cnt, and acetfaq.hlp files to the AutoCAD Help subdirectory.
7. Type expressmenu on the command line.

Note: The directories may vary slightly depending on the version of AutoCAD and the folders specified during the install. The Express Tools menu will load automatically in AutoCAD 2000i or 2002 and the tool kit will be ready to use.

Warning: The Express Tools have not been fully tested with AutoCAD 2000i or 2002. Express Tools Volume 1-9 may also be purchased on-line at www.autodesk.com for $149.00.
