AutoCad :: Marco Layers And Shortcut Menus
Dec 1, 2011
I found out you can add your own "commands" to the right click menus. So on the default menu I have added a block that we use a lot, that way I don't have to go to the tool pallet or to the ribbon to get it.
I am getting it to work just fine, mostly. I have gone into the CUI and added a new menu under the Default Menu. I then changed the name to Variable Box, the command name is My Box Thing (this is all testing names), the macro is
^C^CSNAP;.025;-insert;C:/Users/rmock/Documents/BLOCKLIST/VARIABLE_IO1A.DWG;;;;-la;s;av-detl-medm;;-insert;C:/ ACAD_ Library/_ Blocks/wiring_ diagrams/ equipment_ID;int;;;;\;;;layerp;layerp;
The variable_io1a file is where the dynamic block is at and the Equipment_id is some attributes that get insurted after placing the block. We have a standard layer we put the block on and one we put the attributes on. However when I run/use this shorcut menu item it inserts it on what ever layer is current in the drawing. How do I get this shortcut menu item to go in on the layer(s) it was made with and not the current layer of the drawing. I don't know if this is clear what I am doing or not. Everything works like I want it to, it inserts where I pick, it asks where I want the attributes inserted, asks for the 3 lines of text and ends the command. It just goes in on the wrong layer.

I am trying to change my shortcut menus. Instead of modifying the current default mode, I am trying to make a new default mode menu and preserve the original. I have made the new menu and named the aliases POP501 & CMDEFAULT. But, when I right click the mouse, civil 3d still references the original default mode menu. How do I change this?

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 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?

Is ther a way to purge all civil 3d styles in a macro or lsp. -purgestyles does not seems to work. I have not worked with lsp for a while just getting back into it again.
I have seen this used for purge (vla-purgeall File) and (vla-AuditInfo File T) for audit can we somethging like this with purgestyles or some how echo off the dialog that comes up. seemslike purgng styles should be just as simple a an audit or purge, but is seem more complex.

Every time I open up GIMP, I have to reposition the Tool Options menu that's all the way to the left so that I can see the menu options at the top (File, Edit, etc.), and I also have to move around the Layers menu as per my own preference.
Is there a way to pin them to a specific spot in GIMP and save them there so that every time I open GIMP they're in the same position as where I left them at?

I'm using Gimp 2.8 with Windows 7 on two monitors. I am unable to find the layers window, or a place in the menus to turn it on or off.

I work on a lot of files with 4-6 layers each, and then need to link them to create layer sets, to move them onto other files, where I combine the whole lot (we have a photographic studio, so it's for multiple images in wedding 'books' rather than separate photographs in albums).
I deal with hundreds of files a week, so I'm trying to automate it as far as possible. I've got most of it sorted, but I can't find any command or shortcut to link all of the layers. Is there one? For now, I've set up an action that links each individual layer and then creates the set, but that only works when I've got the same number of layers each time.

Coming from Fireworks / Illustrator, Photoshop's layers slow down the workflow when selecting something on another layer. If I could switch layers (i.e. select the next/previous layer) with a keyboard shortcut, that might help. I've looked through the shortcuts and the best I can find is "move layer", but I don't want to alter the document.

I'm trying to change the Hue on 80 layers but have had no luck anywhere.
I have all layers linked,
I have all layers grouped,
I have all layers selected,
I have all layers in their own folder,
I have all animation frames selceted,
and the ONLY thing it will let me GLOBALY change is the gamma.

Is there a way to create a keyboard shortcut to hide a layer? I'm building a drawing by tracing a bitmap on a separate layer. I turn the layer visibility off & on a lot to check my work.
I have so many objects, the little eyeball in the object manager keeps scrolling out of its window .

Is there a way to add a keyboard shortcut or marking menu shortcut for visibility? It would be really convenient to be able to shift-click several objects and toggle the visibility of them. I have a mouse with numerous buttons that are mapped to commonly used IV features, but I cannot find a way to map a visibility toggle.

I use my own drawing templates with CUI files for layers, dims and notes to scale. Since I've been using LT2012, I've found that the CUI files don't appear in the drawing template. No problems re-loading them but I'd like them in the template if poss. Problem seems originate with LT2012 - didn't experience any difficulties with LT2011.

Someone here at the office started up autocad and the only things that showed up were "File", "Window" and "help" in top menu bar are the only things that show up. Where did the rest of the tools and camands go, and how can I get them back.

I have been working on some pull-down menus. Occasionally when I have the bugs worked out, I will go to the Transfer Tab in the CUI interface and save the pull-down I am working on.
Now all the menus are not showing up in the Transfer pull-down. If you look at the cui-customize-tab.jpg, you will see which menus are shown in the Customize pull-down.
Compare that to the menus shown in the pull-downs in the other 2 attachments. Have I clicked something that I didn't want to click? Is it me? Do these pants make my butt look big?

I'm working for a new company and have not used AutoCad in some time. We want to be able to "drop in" existing drawings through the use of customized drop drop menus. Is there a tutorial somewhere that shows how to customize the drop down menus and link them to files?

I am using AutoCAD 2012 and I like right click menus.
If I use ctrl + right click, I get a menu with snap options, and if I use shift + right click, I get the same menu. How I can change one of these menus without the other is affected, and perhaps also how to get an alt + right click menu.

I realize I am probably using ACA against the way it is meant to be used, but is there a way to get back the linetype and lineweight menus that are on the classic view toolbars but not the ribbon? I just upgraded to 2012 and decided to bite the bullet and just use the ribbon, but it's really just not working out. Unfortunately I only have ACA yet am doing non-architecture work so really need to be able to modify lines without creating a different layer for each type.

I used to have an add-on called Xtabs that would make my drop-down menus (layers, linetypes, etc.) go all the way to the bottom of the screen. In 2013, I changed to interface to classic, so that it looks more like it used to, but the add-on does not appear to be available anymore. Is there a built-in way now to do this?

We installed Civil 3D onto my supervisor's computer, and I can't find the menus. It's like they completely vanished. I set menu bar to 1, and the only menu I get is the Express menu. I don't get any of the other menus (file, alignments, profiles, grading, etc.).

I installed the trial of ACA 2010 so that I can review it.
I typed MENUBAR 1 to put the menu bar back up as all my staff use it and it will be required so that we can transfer from ACA 2008.
But I got the message "No menus are defined".
Why is this, I have just done a standard install I haven't changed anything...
