You most likely didn't change the menugroup name. If it's left as Acad, it will load only the menu you last loaded. There are all kinds of little tricks and tips you'll pick up along the way and they're all available here, but if you want to start something, keep this thread up to date with your progress. I'll help you along the way. Do you have a partial menu you had started with or were you planning on starting fresh? It might be a good idea to start fresh with only your lisp routines. Easy and small...perfect to start out on.
