new.mnu - startup - menuload

Hello.
(Win XP, Acad Map 3D 2005 SP2)

I have made my own mnu-file + standard acad.mnu.
I load (menuload) my mnu-file and everything is fine.

BUT every time I start autocad i need to load my mnu-file!
How can I get my mnu to load automaticly at every startup?


I did not have this "problem" at autocad 2000i

Anyone?
Thanks.

Morten

 

DON'T use menuload. Use MENU to load and compile your acad.mnu. Menuload
is use to load Express or other menus.

 

;; MENULOAD.LSP
;;
;; Load the "Menu_Name" menu..from calling process..
;;
(if (= Menu_Name nil)(setq Menu_Name "MYMENU")); default
;;
(setq Menu_Path "c:/path/path/menus/"); Path to local Menus
;;
;; Load Pop Menu
;;
(if (= Menu_Name "MYMENU")
(progn
(if (findfile (strcat Menu_Path Menu_Name ".mnc"))
(progn
(if (/= (menugroup "GROUPNAME") nil)
(command "_MENUUNLOAD" "GROUPNAME")
); end if
(if (= (menugroup "GROUPNAME") nil)
(progn
(command "_MENULOAD" (strcat Menu_Path Menu_Name))
(menucmd "P16=+GROUPNAME.POP1")
); end progn
); end if
); end progn
); end if
); end progn
); end if

 

Thanks for helping.

But I end up by using a button.....

MENULOAD "C:/Documents and Settings/xxx/Application Data/Autodesk/Autodesk
Map 3D 2005/R16.1/enu/Support/xxx.mnc"

Contrary to Walt, you are free to use whatever you want as your base menu,
and to load any other partial menus that you choose. The only distinction is
that you use MENU to load the base menu, which I'd assume is the Acad menu,
and you use MENULOAD to load any partial menus, which I'd assume is your
custom one.

Whatever menus you load/menuload will be loaded automatically in every
drawing session unless something is wrong. You do not need to do any kind of
menuloading in each session, regardless of whether it's by lisp or a button.
You need to fix whatever is wrong, in order to eliminate that unnecessary
task.

A common reason for partial menus failing to load is that the filename
doesn't match the menu group name. If your menu is named coolmenu.mns, then
it must begin with the line ***MENUGROUP=COOLMENU. If the filename and the
group name in the file don't match, it won't reload next time.

 

Exactly. Solves my "problem".
(I did use "space" in the file name and at ***MENUGROUP=file name.mns)
No "space" an everything is fine again.

Thank you.

No problem, I hate to see people adopt a complicated fix for a simple
problem. Mismatched names is a common glitch, I forgot the space character
bugaboo.
