MNL loads without Menu

Hi All,

When I remove a menugroup and then start a new drawing, the MNL of that
removed menugroup loads again.
Can anyone confirm that and has somebody a solution to avoid the
unwanted MNL-load?

Did I explain that clear?

Thanks in advance

 

Did you use MenuLoad to *unload* the partial menu, or did you simply remove
the menugroup's popup menus from the toolbar? If you did unload the partial
menu, look for code that loads the partial menu in Acad*.lsp or
Acad*Doc.lsp.

Hi Robert
Yes, I use "menuunload" to unload the menugroup. And there is no code in
other LSP-Files that loads the MNL.

It happens with every menu. When you load a menu (as full menu or as a
partial menu) the corresponding MNL gets loaded. This is normal behavier
and as intended.

But when you unload any menu(group) and start a new drawing, the MNL
still gets loaded. Only when you restart AutoCAD the MNL doesn't get
loaded anymore.

It's even so that, when you load that same menu(group) again and unload
it again the MNL loads 2 times! Repeat that 5 times and the MNL loads 6
times!!

Me either, how weird!

I changed the message echoed by an mnl file on loading, and not only did I
still get the echo after unloading the menu, it was still the earlier
version of the message. IOW, opening a new drawing showed a non-existent
message from the previous version of the mnl. This didn't go away until I
restarted Acad. But when I reloaded the menu, I still got the bogus echo. I
had to recompile the menu and restart Acad to see the correct echo from the
current version of the mnl.

 

Sorry, it took me a while to get back here.

Thanks for the answers - I think I'm going to file a bug report to ADESK.
