I have made an extra CUI that is loaded as a partial CUI.
Now I want to add a context-sensitive shortcut menus like this: POP504, OBJECT_AEC_DOOR.
The problem is that this shortcut menu only shows up if I add the shortcut menu to the main CUI file. If I add it in some partial CUI it never shows.
Does shortcut menus only work from within the main CUI?
I'm able to add custom panels/buttons into the Ribbons, by cloning the existing ribbon (from acade.cuix) into my partial cuix. However.. I'm not able to add more commands to the shortcut menus, using the same technique.
Is it possible to add custom commands to existing shortcut menus using a partial cuix?
I have a company .cuix menu that is loaded as a partial menu to the main acad.cuix file. I want to delete all the toolbars and pull down menus associated with it and leave the other stuff in place. This is in Autocad 2011 but should also translate to 2013. So far, I have tried opening the CUI menu, going to the company.cuix partial menu and deleting the toolbars. Then I hit save, then Apply. Toolbars disappear and pulldown menus go away. But when I reload AutoCAD they come back.

In my cui the menus are loaded in my enterprise as well as my main.
How do I keep the menu with the same name in my enterprise yet unload the one of the same name in my main (where it shouldn’t be) using lisp (I want to Automate this using lisp, since I'm not always in office at the same time as everyone else)?
I am able in lisp to create a command prompt selection menu, easy (see code below).However what I want is for the lisp to be ready to undertake an action UNLESS I select an option.
An example is the offset command wich has a function ready to roll (namely the specify offset distance) "OR" I can interrupt the "specify offset distance" and enter one of the sub options (in the case of offset Through/ Erase/Layer).
My code attempts to offset also, UNLESS the user wishes to specify a distance.
(DEFUN C:loadoffset ();CREATING MENU FOR SUB COMMANDS [GETIT] [GOTIT]...(setq choose (getstring "
Select an option... [1=GET DIST] [2=GOTDIST]: "))(if (or (equal choose "1"))(GETIT))(if (or (equal choose "2"))(GOTIT));TERMINATING SELECTION MENU...)(defun getit ( gotit )(setq MYDIST (getdist "
SELECT A DISTANCE: "))(gotit))(defun gotit ()(command "_offset" MYDIST pause pause"exit"))
I have a bunch of discipline specific menu files as partial cui's to my enterprise menu. I don't want to show them all, as some users may not need them all. What I would like to have is a menu item
Load Menus ->
Civil
Electrical
Mechanical
Structural
and when they click on one of them the relevant menu file is made visible in the current workspace. Is there a simple way to do this?
How do I tranfer all my standard autocad variable settings into a new version of Architecture? I have my dimensioning settings, etc set a certain way in my standard autocad and now I want to start using Architecture but need all my old settings.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI want to create a shortcut key (like TAB) for example and whenever I start a polyline or move or whatever, I can hit TAB which will grab the angle my cursor is at, and then use the angle lock to lock the cmd into that direction. (This is essentially what can be done in rhino if you are familiar with this).
The manual way in autocad is typing it ("<45") but I just want to calculate angle from the start point to cursor point. and then once hitting tab or a key or a new command, it will lock with that angle. How can I go about programming this.
I want to make a keyboard shortcut that will turn on/off my osnap, polar, and otrack.I would be fine with setting F3 to do this, or any other key really.I like to be able to turn these off on the fly, but it is getting old having to press all three.

When I do a Polyline, after i done an arc section, I would like to be able to press "F" instead of "L" to do a line section...
Is there an easy way to do that or do I have to reprogram a new Polyline command in lisp with the subcommand shortcut that I would like? (would prefer to avoid it as sometime I have to work on LT)
The reason behind all of this is that I remapped all my command to keys that are on the left side of the keyboard ... it work really well and I almost never have to lift my left hand except for the case with the polyline... the L key is miles away ...
Right now I remapped a button on my mouse to "L" but its not as natural as just using the keyboard...
I'm creating a deployment for AutoCAD 2014.
At the end of the deploy process I'd like to end up with a custom AutoCAD shortcut on the desktop that calls an ARG file. This is no problem.
The problem is that to get that shortcut I need to check the "create desktop shortcut" check box and then I wind up with 2 shortcuts on the desktop, the default "AutoCAD 2014 - English" and my custom shortcut.
How can I get the position (POPn ) where a menu is, considering the other menus loaded (ACAD, Expres.. etc)
For example:
File Edit View Insert . .Express WIndow Help DOBLADO PCSMEN. .. and I need to know the position of DOBLADO.
I have tried to find information about this, but I am having a hard time. So i need to explain what I am doing.
I would like to be able to use commands stored in the cui menu file, initially this is done using our tablets, but our tablet drivers cannot work with windows 7 and autocad, nor can i get any that do, (i have tried over 20 different drivers).
So, instead of making a lisp function for every macro. I need to be able to use some of them.
Can I execute one of these macros using "MENUCMD" ? , I have all the information i need to do it but cannot figure it out menucmd does not seem to have an option to actually run the macro, and if it does It only seems to be able to do that with popup menus.
Currently i use the ribbon and add them in there, but want to know If i can do so just with lisp. and create my own on-screen tablet menu.
Here is an example of one of the macro's in the cui i need to use.
And here it is in the cui menufile:
UNDER-> <MacroGroup Name="User">
<MenuMacro UID="MMU_WT1[A-5]">
<Macro type="Any">
<Revision MajorVersion="17" MinorVersion="1" UserVersion="1" />
<ModifiedRev MajorVersion="17" MinorVersion="2" UserVersion="1" />
<Name xlate="true" UID="XLS_6804">WT1[A-5]</Name>
<Command>^C^CDTEXT C .125 0 </Command>
</Macro>
So.. that is my question how can i use that command via lisp..
I would like to use the following macro from the LDD 2004 Civil menu (yes, we are still using 2004!): ^C^C^C^P(cd_mnl)(zz_sdsk '(ad_xsutl 2));LDD. The macro is Zoom to Station from the Cross Section pulldown menu. How to use this in a LISP routine, or an equivalent LISP command? (The user won't be supplying the station number. The station number will be extracted from a selection set of objects with attribute blocks with equivalent station numbers.)
Each cross section has an attribute block associated with it, which lists all the details for that section, including station. The macro must be using that block (listed in a database, perhaps?) to find the station in the dwg.
I am upgrading from 2010 to 2013 and am having a problem with my image tile menu not showing my slides. The dialog box comes up but none of the slides can be viewed. I am using the macro $I=acadbja.GENPLAN1 $I=* Is there an updated command the super cedes this command?

I have some legacy menus that are quite large. I have tried to create a new workspace, and that seemed to work o.k.
UNTIL I used menuload to try to load the old menu. At the point all the defualt workspaces were wiped out somehow.
I would like to have access to both the default workspaces and then also by switching to a custom workspace, my legacy menus.
I read Robert Bell's document “Migrating from MNU to the CUI” (Autodesk University 2007) with interest. I have been using 2005 up until now and I am finally forcing myself to get to grips with 2010.
I managed to get it to work after much trial and error through the CUI transfer interface.My customizing makes use of a lot of swapping pull-down menus, which swap in and out based on current later setting.A typical command would be:
(MENUCMD "P15=RCASPOPS.mfireeqp") where RCASPOPS is my swapping menu loaded at POP15.
Then I would use (MENUCMD "P15=*") to force the “mfireeqp” area of the pull-down menu to display.Trouble is, when I CUIload RCASPOPS, it does not seem to recognize the various areas of the menu.Here is a part of that subsection of RCASPOPS:
***MFIREEQP
[FireProtEquipLayers]
[--]
[0]0;
[defpoints]defpoints;
[X-Refs]x----ref;
[code]...
Typically the whole of RCASPOPS is loaded but when I try to force it to display, the whole of it pops on the screen (well, the top of the file does anyway) and not just the subsection I want.
Is this a syntax issue with the newer AutoCad?Also notice that I use the -> and <- for fly-out sections of the menu - is there a syntax issue with this? I notice that the future support of drop down swapping menus is not guaranteed. What is the alternative?
Switching from 2010 win xp to 2014 win 7. I need my specific user interface , and cant replicate it because of this issue :
I used to press context menu key on keybard to make edit menus pop up . In 2014 even though its same settings (show context menus and time sentive click) i ve lost this ability .
Either menus dont appear at all or they are replaced by the small command line context menu. I think this suggest new command line features are messing with right click options any variable i can turn off , or else to go back to normal.
through the groups here I have found the redefine screenmenu command, but I cannot find how to get the screen menu up on the screen as it is not an option in the display options any longer.

have had the good fortune to have recieved a Christmas present (o.k. to myself) a new Dell 30" monitor with 2560 x 1600 resolution.
The only thing I am finding troublesome as you might be able to see by the attached screen shot, is that now my autocad menus are, as expected at the top of the screen. This new size of monitor brings with it the problem that you now have to travel your mouse a great distance to reach the menu bar items.

The function to use is (workspacelist) which returns a list of workspace names, similar to (layoutlist) for retrieving a list of Layout names.
The functionality for extracting "WorkspaceRoot.cui" from .cuix requires copying the .cuix to .zip so that it can be accessed as a Windows compressed (zipped) folder which the Windows object "Shell.Application" provides.
