AutoCAD LT :: Pull Down Menu Customization?

Aug 1, 2013

On 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.

AutoCad :: Pull Down Menu Items And Put On Layer 0

Feb 22, 2012

I 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?

AutoCAD Inventor :: Marking Menu Customization Omission

Jun 6, 2012

I've been forcing myself to accumulate to the new marking menu and gestures system.  I'm starting to get used enough to them to see that it's really worth it. 

I've found that the defaults are crap for what I do in IV, which is fine because I can customize it to whatever I do use.

However, when I RMB on a component pattern it displays a unique menu for which there appears to be no option for under customization. I'd really like to replace the craptastic useless options with things that I actually use.

By the way, why does AutoDesk neglect component patterns so much?

AutoCAD Inventor :: Cannot Find Customization For Marking Menu For Sketch

Oct 16, 2011

The Marking Menu of 2012 so far is a big brake for me.
 
I wish I can make some alterations but I did not find in this huge variety of possibilities
the option to alter the context menu of the Sketch.
 
I am in Sketch. I drawing the line. I want to quit. I do right click and have the menu. the name and probably the sub name of that menu. I cannot find it at all in the Customization list. I wish at least to locate the Escape to bottom. Did not find also the option to turn the Marking menu off.

AutoCAD LT :: 2011 - Limit To Items Selected To Use Pull Down Menu?

Sep 25, 2012

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.

AutoCAD 2010 :: Pull Down Menu And Click Save As Instead Of Window Opening

Apr 17, 2012

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?

Revit :: Creating A Pull Down Menu

Dec 20, 2011

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?

AutoCAD 2013 :: How To Use Toolbar To Load Toolbar From Partial Customization Menu

Dec 19, 2013

I've tried to figure out the pattern of how the command works for inputting partial customization menu toolbar names but I'm unsuccessful.

You should be able to show and hide partial customization menu toolbars with the -toolbar command because it can hide all toolbars including my partial customization menu toolbars currently shown. I've tried the toolbar menu alias (defined in the CUI command) and the name (refer to this link to the same image embedded below) and none work.

AutoCAD Inventor :: IProperties And BOM Customization

Aug 15, 2012

I am now looking to work with custom iProperties that will populate our company's new BOM standard.  I have not done much with regards to customizing a BOM (I've always used the generic fields).  Now my boss has come to me and wants to use the following headings for our BOM....

REF ID, QTY. , DESCRIPTION, SHAPE, SIZE, LENGTH, MASS, TOTAL LENGTH, TOTAL MASS, COMMENTS, REF. DWG.
REV., REV. DATE

While I understand some of these fields will require the user to manually type information in (Comments and Ref. Dwg.)  The others, from my understanding, can come straight from iProperties or Parameters.  I am running INV Pro 2013.

AutoCad 2D :: Right-Click Setup Customization

Aug 27, 2012

So when using C3D, I have my right-click setup so that when I click on an object, say a multi-leader, surface, etc, a long menu pops up with object-specific options. Such as multi-leader styles and scales, pipe network options, etc.

So today, AutoCAD decided to be lazy and not show that menu. I've tried turning off the R-C customization, then turning it back on, switching the custom options around, applying, then setting them back to the way I had them, starting a new drawing, restarting CADD, and finally restarting my computer. NOTHING.

This has happened to me several times in the past and it just starts working properly again at some point. To draft, modifying C3D objects, without the r-c menu is such a time consuming PITA.

AutoCAD 2013 :: Right Click Customization Disappeared?

Jul 3, 2013

My right click customization, which would bring up properties as an option, or could unlock a viewport by selecting it and right clicking. and can also select an x-ref to open, or edit in place, and modify attributes, etc.....has disappeared.

All I get now are basic pan/zoom commands, action recorder, clipboard, etc.....I checked my options, nothing has changed in my right click customization field, but for some reason, it's just not working. Any way to get that back?

AutoCAD Inventor :: Content Center Customization

Feb 9, 2012

I have been working on creating custom content center families that will populate our company's part numbers and descriptions into the browser and drawing BOM.  I have been quite successful in this except with the material.  I've created custom materials for the fasteners that have the specified strengths and finishes per the fastener.  By doing this I've created a different problem.

How can I create a custom property that will insert a specified value for material into the BOM?  I've tried to change the link for Project.Material and then the part inserts as Inventor's default.  I don't think creating individual material styles for each fastener is a viable one since I'll end up with duplicate style names.

AutoCAD 2013 :: Right Click Clipboard Customization

Jun 18, 2012

when I wanted to copy objects from one drawing to another or even inside of one drawing, I could right click, "Copy with Base Point" .  In 2013 (possibly before) they moved that command along with copy, paste into another command called "Clipboard". 

I've been searching for a way to customize that to remove that extra click to access a commonly used command with no luck.
