    How does one now create a custom pull down menu in Autocad 2005?

    I have a series of lisp commands attached to slides that are access
    via a pull down in 2002. Works great. I had the POP and the Image
    code in the acad.mns file. Now with 2005 there seems to be no
    acad.mns file. There is the new custom.mns file and I have put all my
    other customization in this file and works great. I tried to put all
    the code for the pull down menu and get no pull down. If I right
    click a toolbar and click customize, go to menu group named custom, I
    can see it but no access. I have tried putting the code in the
    acad.mnu file and the adt.mns file with the same results. I am
    running ADT2005 on and XP platform.

    There is something that is different between the two different
    versions or I totally missed something.

    Thanks in advance.

    Hi Ted
    Great Question. It gave me something to do today.
    By the looks of it ADT 2005 is not using the ACAD.mnu
    but instead it is using ADT.mnu to load ACAD
    2005 also is using Four other ADT Menu Files: ADT3DSolids,
    ADTCadManager, ADTDesign, ADTDocument.
    I made a copy of ADT3DSolids (all the files) and removed everything
    Below POP1 in the ADT3DSolids.mnu
    inserted my code then rename it to ADTFloor.mnu and then Open ADT 2005
    went to Window -> Pulldown -> Customize -> Browse
    and loaded it from there.
    And i got a working Pulldown :)

    Menus made in 2005 only work if you put the prefix "ADT"
    BTW my icons did not work so i had to redo them again.

    Tell me if it works for you and if you need help with anything else.
