Topic: New menu loading problems

Is that hijacking similar to the scr problem between acad scripts and windows SCReen savers?

[M-dub]

I believe so, yes...
They still work in AutoCAD, but are associated with something else...there are likely more file types than just those two as well...

what if i uninstall realplayer? i hate that player anyway. when you try to open the file you get an error, piece of cr... well glad we've narrowed it down and i hope there's a solution. thanks

My wife had Real(crappy)Download on our computer at home. I finally convinced her to get rid of it. It took twice the time to download with it than without it.

Well, Dan?  How goes the battle?

[ELOQUINTET]

uh been working on my drawing actually. i was sorta waiting to hear back from mark as to whether he might know of any other possible solutions. seemed light a light bulb went off in his head but haven't heard back.

Sorry, just got back from down town. Did you change the association of the .mns back to Notpad?

[ELOQUINTET]

it's alright ummm not sure how to accomplish that?

scroll down to MNS

in the "open with" dailog select Notepad
click OK
click close

hey mark just wanted to give you an update. everything is ok sort of. i changed the association of my mns. the icon still shows as real but i can open with notepad. everything reloads when i close acad now. i do have a few more questions though. i still don't have have the custom offset and fillet in my list of toolbars so i can't associate them to my custom flyouts, how do i get them to show up? i'm wondering too can i now get rid of my bmp files or save them somewhere else and just use the dan.dll? also what do the danloader lsp and the problem acs do just out of curiousity?

SAve your .bmp's for now. The 'danloader.lsp' is called from dan.mnl, it loads all you lisp files. The 'problem.asc' file is a txt file I suggest reading. I have changed your menu a little so that your two of your flyouts are working. I'll upload it to the lilly pond in a few.

it's there.....

hey mark i had to do a little tweaking because some smileys were appearing and misplaced icons. 1" 1.5" 1.75" 2" and zoom trim were messed up. i repathed them and closed and they found their way. now what i wanted to ask was. you forgot the add the offset 1 toolbar so i tried myself i think i'm close but not sure about the user buttons

you have this: OFFS.bmp : for offset one inch, shouldn't it be :OFFSET ONE.BMP

and this for offset two inch: OFFS8467.bmp : for offset two inch, shouldn't it be :OFFSET TWO.BMP

it's getting there i just wanna make sure i'm doing this right and not totally screwing it up (again )

Yea, you're going in the right direction. The more you play with it the better you'll get.  There is some good reading in the help files "Overview of Menu Files".
