Topic: Autocad ADT- resetting the menus etc to vanilla

[AP]

Hi

I was around this forum several years ago, but have been away whilst working on Vectorworks as my primary package at work.

Am now back on AutoCAD for a university course, and have a clean install of Autocad 2004 Architectural Desktop on which I am now working.

However, I remember from previously there is a way to alter the menu setup - architectural desktop having fewer menus across the top, than does the vanilla version of autocad. There may be other differences too. I remember having to choose a specific setup file somehow from an option menu / file window, but can't remember where this was located or if it was a typed command.

Anyone know what I'm talking about?! 

Thanks.

just build your own CUI or workspace with only the toolbars you desire loaded
set that as the default profile and away you go

did 2004 have cui and workspace? I thought it was all done through "menuload" and loading a different template file... and I'm pretty sure I used to do something else, but cant think what...

wow, totally missed the 2004, yes menu loads...that would be the ticket
save your current menus (mnu, mns files) and your profile, and have fun with it
