I saved it as a MNU file, and when i added the menu it dreated it's own msn file etc.

To go back to what I was sayinga while back, there is no need to keep your Custom.mnu file around as it does not get updated unless you "manually" change it. The mnu only serves as a possible way to over write your custom Menu.

I would keep only The .mns around.

When you menuload it, it will create the .mnr and .mnc files

I never liked that view of using just the .mns file.  I mean, you're letting AutoCAD write to a file you've spent time coding.  The ONLY thing I let AutoCAD code for me is toolbars.  But even then I pull out the code from the .mns (which is created from the new .mnu I create specifically for making a new toolbar) and recode the bitmaps to the ones I made.  Just my 2¢...

Hi

But what did you call / name it?

The offering I made needs to be saved as Custom.mnu or Custom.mns to work, if you called / named it something else it won't work.

Have a good one, Mike

I called it custom.mnu.

Would I have to change the AutoCAD menu so that the tablet was disassociated from the F$ key?

Hi

The following is what I done here when testing -

AutoCAD Base Menu -> Acad.mnu

Created Partial Menu -> Custom.mnu (contents exactly as I posted previous)

Loaded Partial Menu "Custom.mnu" via MenuLoad command.

Once loaded, hit function key "F4" -> Properties command run's.

Have uploaded Custom.mnu to the Lilly Pond for your reference -

Can a custom command be added to right click menu (pop500*) via a custom menu?

Don't you mean POP0?  (maybe not...I'm just asking)  If so, then the answer to your question is yes.

Hi

Do you receive / read AUGIWorld (available via the AUGI web site).... There is a great article written by Robert Bell in the "Jul/Aug 2004" issue starting on Page 14 -

Modifying AutoCAD’s Context Menus

I highly recommend you read that article.

The following Technical Document from the Autodesk web site might be worth a read -

ID: TS31003 - Customizing the content shortcut menus in AutoCAD 2000

Have a good one, Mike

Pop502 is what I want to add to. I have done this in the acad.mns but wanted to know if this could be accomplished through a custom.mns. I did not see an article by Robert Bell in the issue you specified. From my tests, the answer is no.

Thanks,

Ron

Hi

The article is there (honest), I've got it open on that page right now.

The article will give you all the information you require to accomplish the task (it can be done).

Have a good one, Mike
