Topic: need some basic info on MNS

[Kerry]

.... I always work w/ a copy
We use a custom folder on the C drive, so if our network goes down, we can still work. I delete the MNR and MNC before I replace the MNS, but never touch the MNU, that was the tiny tidbit of info I recieved before we lost our CAD manager (yup-28 people and no CAD manager-we all take a part of the job....)

I even burn a CD 2x's a year and have it sent off site (is that tooo much?!?)

.. to belabor the point, if someone happens to reload your .MNU file, the MNS will be completely overwritten. Personally I edit the MNU.

I removed the mnu file so some idiot would not do that.

Wait a minute, I'm the only idiot here.

for good or bad, we have 2 groups here, one that knows not to do that, and one that doesn't know what (or where) the MNU is.....

If everyone has write permissions on the folder where your .mns is then the menu will be recompiled by accident. So when you don't work on the .mns keep your .mnc/.mnr read only. Or be sure that only you can write to the folder of your menu.

When you compile your MNS file....AutoCAD create and READ the MNC.
but befor compile......you must check if your folder containing all your BITMAP icone are in your AutoCAD search path directory.
otherwise you will have....this -> ....or a cloud.

Make sur that you have write permission on your MENU folder.
