icons are very happy

You can put your bitmaps in any folder where autocad can find them in the
search file path. I have a separate folder, titled BMPS where I keep mine.

Try re-loading, but use acad.mnu this time.

 

I'm not...

My acad2004 has lost all the icons

I unload all additional partial menus, and acad.mns, then loaded acad.mns
and still no icons. All the commands work - just no buttons!

any ideas?

if I have additional icons - shouldn't I put the .bmp s in enu/support?

Thanks

Jamie

 

got the acad icons back - but not my customized ones - not sure what gives...

What version autocad?

 

After making my icons, as I said earlier, I put them in a folder (BMPS) and
make sure BMPS is shown in autocad's search file path. Then I also add them
to my acad.mnu as shown below. Note ***TOOLBARS is the autocad heading but
**TB_COLUMN and everything listed under it is my personal toolbar with icons
as bitmaps. The bitmaps can have any name.

***TOOLBARS

**TB_COLUMN
ID_COL_0 [_Toolbar("Col",_Floating,_Show,400,50,0)]
ID_COLUP_0 [_Button("Colup", "0041.bmp", "0041.bmp")]^c^c(if (not colup)(load
"colup"));colup
ID_COLRT_0 [_Button("Colrt", "0042.bmp", "0042.bmp")]^c^c(if (not colrt)(load
"colrt"));colrt
ID_COLLFT_0 [_Button("Collft", "0043.bmp", "0043.bmp")]^c^c(if (not
collft)(load "collft"));collft
ID_TRIM_0 [_Button("trim", "icon0089.bmp", "icon0089.bmp")]trim
ID_EXTEND_0 [_Button("extend", "icon5556.bmp", "icon5556.bmp")]extend

 

okay - I reloaded the menu and I've got most of them back...strange!
acad2004 sp 1a

id there any other upgrades I should install?

thanks

As Walt said, you need to make sure all bmp's referenced in the custom menu are available on your search path. I also prefer to keep them in a dedicated folder added to the path.

You can force a recompile with images by deleting the mnc and mnr associated with the custom menu, and restarting Acad. Unloading and reloading the mns should do the same thing, but it seems you can't be certain about the buttons until you restart.
