Sorry, didn't mean to sound like I was takin' a shot at you, I'm extremely appreciative of the ALL links you've provided.
No worries, and no sorry required...

I'm just miffed at the decidedly MSTA twist many of these "new" features have taken, menus and menu loading being a biggie.
I can understand that, personally I didn't think CUI was quite ready for prime-time...

Hey Mike, when do we see a white paper on just how lame the CUI is going to be?  Had I wanted Mictrostation, I'd have bought Microstation.

I, for one, LIKE to use a simple text editor to create and maintain menus.


White Papers.

My opinion of the CUI documentation is on record.

Oh, sorry, So I should have told him to go back and check for additions to a 3 month old post.

Been through all of those, I was looking for something that was actually helpful.  I've spent the last 21 years becoming rather proficient with the keyboard.  I now have to give up that acquired skill in favor of a much slower method of editing the menu.

Aren't CUI files just XML files with a different extension? If so you can still edit those with a text editor, it's just a different file format.

If they're not XML I withdraw my statement.

they are XML, but when I did a somple edit to add something to the pulldown, Autocad said the file was corrupt.

I've had the same experience.  I need to figure out how to "recompile" the xml after edit.

And I haven't even started looking for hom MNL's work in 2006.

I think you need an XML Editor:

Google for XML Editors

I used MS Visual C# XML editor.  It has something hidden somewhere that I havenot found yet.

Thats the funny thing.  XML (to my knowledge) doesn't need to be compiled.  I use XML for creating Layers, and I just edit the file and it works right away.

I used to use Cooktop which was free.  (I think that is the name)

That's what I thought as well, but something is haywire after editing the menu with an XML editor.  A simple open and save will cause AutoCAD to reject the CUI.

I know it has something to do with version-ing.  Supposed-idly(SP?)  Autocad will keep up eith the different versions or something like that.
