Do custom tools built with model builder not persist in the normal.mxt?

[nemesis069]

I have an problem in ArcMap 10.2.1. In this shot, I added an OOTB tool that has no default home, a custom dll tool, and a custom model builder tool.

Upon closing and re-opening, the OOTB and dll persist, but the model builder tool is gone.

Notes:

- I am not saving to an mxd; I am saving to the mxt.

- I can confirm that the mxt is indeed getting saved because I can see the date modified date and time reflecting my moves.

-An mxd does save a model builder tool.

Also, I found that the reference of the tool is lost in the [ Geoprocessing Tools ] under the Customization Categories.

In short, do model builder custom tools not persist in the mxt? Any help would be great!!

Thanks, Juul
