Menu Toolbars in ACAD2004

    I am trying to update our menu system for use with acad 2004, but for
    some reason, if I load our menu (which was written for 2000 and
    previous) all the toolbars display question marks instead of the
    little icons which depict each tool. Can anyone tell me how I can get
    the toolbar to display the icons that the autocad menu (which comes
    with ACAD) displays?

    Many thanks to anyone who can help.

    Are you familier with the menu (.mns/.mnu) syntax?
    Do you know who created this menu?

    If the toolbar icons reference icons that are part of a compiled .dll
    file, then you need that .dll file. An example of this syntax is:

    [_Button("Object Snap Settings", "ICON_16_OSNAP", "ICON_24_OSNAP")]'_osnap

    If the toolbar icons reference individual .BMP files, you will need
    those .BMP files. An example of this syntax is:

    [_Button("Break @", "BrkAt16.Bmp", "BrkAt24.Bmp")]_.BREAK \@

    Notice the name ICON_24_OSNAP in the first example. This references an
    icon in a .dll file. In the second example, the "BrkAt16.Bmp" is a .BMP file

    Here is some more info. This is a little old, but the same ideas still
    apply. http://markcad.com/autocad/acadtoolbars.htm
