All of the sudden, when I go to the pull down menu and click "Save As", instead of the window opening where I can physically choose where I want to save or save over, I get the file directory in the command line. I even typed in the folder directory and it still doesn't save it there. Why the sudden change?
View 3 RepliesWhile being distracted while working, I inadvertently kept my finger on a key (forget which one), heard a little BEEP, and now my Right Click FlyOut Menu is going somewhere I don't need it to go to. I am getting the 'Snap" options box
instead of 'Last Command' Options Box.

View 2 Replies View RelatedTrying to change the Hatch double click command from quick properties to the familiar hatch edit dialog. When I go to the cui, hatch edit doesn't even appear as a command. There a lots of commands that don't appear in the CUI command list.
I added it, but I cannot get it to stick when I drag it to HATCH in the double click list. The the HATCH Advanced element box "ID_QUICKPROPERTIES" is greyed out so I cant retype it to "hatchedit"
It could be because I let autocad migrate from 2008 (pre ribbon) when I installed.
In AutoCAD 11 the right click pop-up has clipboard and an arraow you need to slide on to get to the copy, paste, paste as block, copy with base point...Older versions had these clip board features in the pop-up and I hate having one more step to get to the clipboard features. Is there way to customize what shows up with right click?

View 9 Replies View RelatedOn older versions of Acad, I was able to go into the .mnu file and do a macro such as follows:
***POP10
**LIB2
ID_MNLIB2 [&Lib2]
[->Bolts]
[->Bolt ****'y]
[#10]^C^C-insert;F:/STD/LIBS/BOLT-01/BOLT010A;;;;
[* 1/4]^C^C-insert;F:/STD/LIBS/BOLT-01/BOLT025A;;;;
[5/16]^C^C-insert;F:/STD/LIBS/BOLT-01/HH031A;;;;
[*3/8]^C^C-insert;F:/STD/LIBS/BOLT-01/HH038A;;;;
And a new pull down menu would be created and my listing of bolts could be inserted from the std libs bolt file as I clicked through the route. I developed all of this on older versions at a different company. With 2014, I went to the CUSTOMI ZE under the main Drafting and Annotation / AutoCAD Classic pull down and created a New Menu, renamed to BOLTS and then pulled the INSERT command and dropped it ontp the BOLTS pull down and changed the DISPLAY NAME to 1/4" and edited the MACRO from ^C^C _insert to ^C^C_insert;F:/STD/LIBS/BOLT-01/BOLT025A;;;; Seemed to work fine....until I added another 10 bolt assemblies and then noticed that they all showed up as whatever the last bolt I had put in the Macro line was. The display name stayed correct but the insert was gloabally changed on all pull down to whatever the last item was. I have reset 2014 back to the original settings now to clear out everything I had done.
To open .cal drawings, I've alway hit the "insert" tab and selected insert raster image from the dropdown menu.
Today, the "insert" tab doesn't create a dropdown menu. It opens a whole "insert" toolbar without any reference to raster images.
How do I open my .cal files and why did autoCAD change itself?
why I can't see all the layers in the pull down menu? This doesn't happen with all drawings, but I've noticed this in a recent files.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI am wondering if it is possible to have pulldown menus items be brought in on the layer that they were created on versus the layer that your template has current. I created pull down menus and (not thinking ahead) put them all on layer 0. They come in with all the attributes they were created with, but come in on the current layer. Can I change that?

View 3 Replies View RelatedI am unable to use pull down menu commands, for example when I want to save as, I have to type it manually in the command menu...to open a file I have to type the file name at command line..
when I click save as or any other command from the pull down menu, it does not work, the command line apprars at the buttom of the drawing asking me to manually make an imput...
All of a sudden and out of the blue this window fails to apprear when trying to save a drawing to another location or to a different file name.
AutoCAD 2011 still has this funciton so have had to go back to using the earlier version.
I have installed the two service packs hoping to fix this issue. There appears to be a limit to the quantity of items that can be selected if trying to change a property using a pulldown menu. For example, if I select all items in a drawing (say 25,000 items, didn't test the limit), using (CTRL+A) or with mouse, and all items are not the same color, the OBJECT COLOR menu should be blank (have not value) because there is not only one color for the objects. Same would be true of the Layer menu if all objects are not on the same layer. This does not happen, the current Color or Layer are shown in the menu's. WIth the objects selected, changing the color (say from red to green) has no effect. Same is true if trying to assign all selected items to a specific layer. WIth less items selected (didn't test the limit), things work as expected.
I tried to see if the problem was with the menu, so I used the command line commands. Change, Property, Color, with all items selected works fine. Is there a bug with 2011 LT re this? I didn't have this issue using ACAD LT 2008 previously.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI am playing with a design in simulation where the balance is effected by gravity. I have a part at a set angle to start off so a constraint is place and set to this angle,then in simulation I suppress the angle prior to starting the simulation to see what happens. Then I unsuppress the angle then edit it to adjust the simulation to a new angle I then resupress the angle to free it up and run the simulation again.
This can go on a few times until the angle is found in the simulation.The problem I have is it takes ages to do this. Basically it seems in simulation the tree is always collapsed and I want it expanded, how ever after each change the tree collapses?
Is there a way to have the tree always expanded so I can quickly find and adjust my constraint? Or even better is there a way to pull the constraint into the main edit window for direct editing?
It would be good if a small bow / window could be opened with the ability to add a setting/constraignt that needs constant updating.
I am trying to create a pull down menu in a door schedule. My goal is that when I load a door family into my model it will generate as much as the required schedule information as possible. Eliminating the need to manually fill out the schedule.
I have already set up shared parameters for typical schedule items; such as door material, door type, frame material, etc. I would like to set up pull down menus for the schedule items that will differ from door to door (fire rating for example), via the door family type parameters. The research I've done seems to point to using nested families. This is something I am not all that familiar with. Do I need to use nested families to do what I'm trying? If so, what would be the best way to do it? How would I create a nested family?
I have two menus that I use often and I would like to add them to my mouse buttons. Attached is a picture of the two menus I like and the two buttons. The Shift + Click has the correct menu already (Osnap menu2) my problem is adding my custom menu to the CTRL + Click doesn't work. I labeled Osnap Menu 1 and 2, 1 being the custom menu I have use in the past and 2 being the default osnap menu that comes with the cui file. How to get the second button to read my menu rather than both read the same osnap 2 menu?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI just installed 2011 and was in the process of setting up my workspace when I realized i could not find the Status Bar pull down on the View Tab/Windows Panel. Help still says it is there. When I went into the CUI I could not find the command or even the icon. I know that you can right click and edit the status bar buttons but you can only do them one at a time and then you have to right click again to get rid or add the next button and then right click again....the drop down, available in the last several releases enabled you to just check them on or off all at one time.

View 3 Replies View RelatedDon't know how or why this has happened, but my AutoCAD has suddenly stopped showing the correct shortcut menu's when I right click. This happens both in 'default mode' and 'edit mode'. All I get is the default menu instead of my customised edit menu.
I've not edited my CUI nor my right click customisation, but when I've checked them, both are as they should be. I just can't work it out. Also, the delete key won't allow be to delete selected objects anymore.
I'm not sure what was the last thing I did before this error occured, but I think at some point I wanted to press the delete key but may have ended up pressing either the insert, end or home key and maybe for 2-3 seconds. Not sure if these would change anything but thought I should mention it.
Is there anyway these may have been disabled, for example a small insignificant icon somewhere?
I recently upgraded to 2012 but forgot to install the express tools, Doh!. I installed them through control panel repair and everything works.

I have attached an image...but in 2013 we had an expanded Right Click shortcut menu...so if you clicked on a line for example it would give you alot of options...as you see in the image I do not have all those in 2014.
My "Shortcutmenu" is set to 11
Pickfirst is set to 1.
In CUI I do not see any seperate menus loaded under Shortcut.
