    I have tried to move all custom menus to a new computer. I imported the
    profile ect and that is working fine. The problem is that I customized
    certain toolbars -added my own buttons and deleted some that come standard.
    I've got it to a point that all of the right toolbars are shown, but they
    don't have the correct buttons, icons are all mixed up etc. What files do I
    need to copy to the new installation? I assumed all of the *.mns,*.mnl,
    *.mnu files from ...\acadm folder would do it, but it's not. By the way, I
    am running MDT6 Power Pack.

    Thanks,

    Craig,

    You may want to look at all the .BMP files that are the toolbar button icons. Depending on what kind of changes you made when customizing these toolbars, you may have gotten some icons mixed up.

    You may want to consider leaving the out of the box menus alone and simply copy the toolbars you want to a custom toolbar menu. This may prove handy by leaving the default menus alone.

    Also, if your custom menu is in a different folder than the ACAD menus, don't forget to save a copy of the toolbar BMP files to the custom menu folder.

    Good Luck,

    Craig,
    Be sure that all the .BMP's are in the support path, and
    delete the .mnr files. For each mns, use MENUUNLOAD,
    pick 'replace all', and open / compile. This should cure the problem.
