My company recently upgraded to Autocad 2013 from 2008. I was using a custom dimension cui file for sizing dimensions according to scale. I have reloaded the file into 2013. However, I am having to reload the file daily because it does not function without reloading. Is there any work around for this?
View 5 RepliesThis issue applies only to AuroCAD 2013 64. 2012 works fine.
I have three old custom menus I use regularly. They were all in the MNU format when they were compiled to CUIx.
Let's say menu1 has a drop down menu and toolbars. Menu2 has a dropdown menu. Menu3 has a toolbar menu. They are all located in the same folder.
If I load the three menus they work fine for the duration of the session. However, once I quit AutoCAD and restart, only Menu1 loads. I still have to load the other two again. This is annoying. I have created a Profile and a Workspace with the menus loaded and set both current. Exit and again no menus.
I just installed AUTOCAD 2013 on my computer. Every morning when I start up, I have to reload by CUI file. My ribbons are rearranged, I have to arrange them back to how I had them. Why is this happening?

We had a lisp routine in 06 that would reload all the xref's in a sheet so the layer states would update since simply reloading the xref did not always work. Below is the code we used. Now, in 2013, when we run it, I lose all layer states.

How do I add custom menu items to the main menu in Illustrator?
I would like to build my own menu with scripts that I use alot. This is a powerful feature that I use alot in other programs, but I have not seen any examples of this in illustrator.
Can we place a custom menu and commands in Adobe Illustrator and invoke custom actions? The need for us is to call a C# DLL from these menu commands. I see C++ support but none on COM or NET support.

I have code that adds my own custom menu group to a contextmenu when right-clicking with a particular object selected (in this case a dimension). Works great!
My questions are:
1) How can I get my custom menu item located where I want it rather than appearing where it wants in the contextmenu?
2) Can I add my own custom menu item to an existing context menu group? For example: It you right-click on a dimension string in AutoCAD 2012, you get a group of dimension commands: Dimension Style, Precision, Etc... Is it possible to add my menu item to that group? If so, how can I do this. I cannot seem to find it documented anywhere! Below is my code for adding my own menu group.
Private Sub AddObject_RightClickMenu() Dim ed As Editor = Application.DocumentManager.MdiActiveDocument.Editor Try m_ObjectMenu = New ContextMenuExtension m_ObjectMenu.Title = "Dimension Objects Menu" Dim mnuItem As MenuItem = New MenuItem("Extension Line Toggle") AddHandler mnuItem.Click, AddressOf run_dimExtEdit_WhenClicked m_ObjectMenu.MenuItems.Add(mnuItem) ' create an rxclass Dim dimensionClass As RXClass = RXObject.GetClass(GetType(Dimension)) ' adding the object menu Application.AddObjectContextMenuExtension(dimensionClass, m_ObjectMenu) Catch ex As System.Exception ed.WriteMessage("Error Adding Object Menu: " + ex.Message) End TryEnd Sub

I've made some customisation in the ribbon of a 2013LT version.
Now some customisation functions are only available on the Full, so I download and install it but I can't find a way to import all those custom settings grom LT to Full...
Seems it works only from LT to LT or Full to Full..
I work all across the country with different architects and engineers on a contract basis. Typically I create a custom menu that reflects each clients colors, symbols, layering ect. But now I have just upgraded to Acad 2012 and don't know how to create a custom menu in 2012 for each client. Is it even possible? What I have found is the customize button but when I modify a command for a specific client it makes the same change for all clients, as all that I was doing was modifying a workspace, and only modifying the command. What I have done in the past is to take the Acad.mns and copy it and rename it client-name-Acad.mns and make the necessary changes that the clients standards required. Can I still do something like that?
View 1 Replies View RelatedThis is related to AutoCAD 2005 only:
I have a custom menu file which is NOT located in the support path but rather is on a server drive for all AC 2005 user's to access. When I load this menu in AC 2005 and then restart, it is gone and has to be reloaded. This is happening for all 2005 users in this office. With AC 2009 we use CUI and that custom file is also located on the server, not in the support path, but the 2009 machines are working fine. It is only the AC 2005 users who keep loosing their menu item each morning.
I have done extensive searching on this and it appears to be a common problem but the thing which is also common to all the posts and articles I read on it is that none of them offer a resolution which actually works.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI'm wanting to load a png file into photoshop & use a customised menu bar or perhaps a plugin to supply some specific image information as I work. The image is a game height-map. The pixel hex value represents the height of the terrain.
I wanting to load my map (image) into PS & display a new menu bar containing this information in textboxes & the like:
1. The hex value of the pixel the mouse is hovering over.
2. The corresponding height related to that hex value. This would be a customised calcuated field (textbox).
3. A combo or spinbox with height values, so that you would select the desired height to pain onto the map, and the pain fill tool would automatically select the corresponding color to pain based on custom calculated conversion of height to correcponsing hex (color) value.
Do I need to write a plugin? or maybe ctionscript with a custom toolbar?

Somehow I activated a mode where when I click on an object, if there are several objects there, it will bring up a little menu to pick which one I want, similar to Inventor if you hover or say "Select other...". How do I toggle this mode? Turns out I like it sometimes but usually I don't need it.
