Topic: Macro buttons showing as question marks...

[idrawwithcad]

The macro buttons for our company have all started showing up as question marks for some reason.  The image files are in a directory mapped as support, and that hasnt been changed.  

Someone added some buttons this morning, and since then everything has gone haywire with the images...

Anyone got any ideas?  Im sick of playing mystery button!

Thanks

Welcome to my world- every 6 months we revise and relocate our custom menu's, --ta daaaaaa- smiley faces or question marks, so I have to spend some time re-pathing or resaving.....

Hypo--I got excited when I saw your link, but every thing there is what I already do, so if any knows about a magic command--PLEASE let me know...

I usually delete the menu .MNC and .MNR and reboot AutoCAD.

if you have access to vb, make a dll, and problem goes away forever.  Name your dll the same as your menu and it autoloads

?
a dll?

save your mns as a dll or what is that?

if it is easier just give me a good resource to read about it.

You have to create a dll as a separate file that goes with your mnu/mns/mnc/mnr.  Let me see if I have a paper on how to do it.

I have it, but I need to get permission to post it, Let me contact the auther first.

What you want is a dll resource editor / hacker utility to create / modify a menu named dll with menu bitmaps.

Here's one (haven't used it) and an older one (I've used this one, albeit years ago).

This might help also.

Good read Mark!  I will save that for reference should someone lose their copy

Thanks.

Although it's not much help now that we have the fantastic CUI for all our menu customizations.

I refuse to believe that the programmers at Autodork use that piece of crap!  There has got to be a way to get around it.  I have been watching a few other forums, and I think Autodesk might allow us another door into the code

well swamp has success again!  

i simply recreated from scratch the images for the buttons that were made yesterday, and it worked a treat.  The images that were created yesterday must have used a different dll to the menu the new buttons were in from what i can gather...

thanks for everyones input
