    just upgrade several users to AutoCAD 2004. To prevent customization chaos,
    we now run the standard acad 2004 base menu from a read only network
    location. All user customization is done by partial loading additional
    menus. This works fine for toolbars etc. One user still has a digitiser and
    has customized not only TABLET1 but the standard commands in TABLET2 , 3 and
    4. i took all his customization and moved it into a new mns file called
    UserTablet.mns, which is separate from his toolbar customization
    UserToolbar.mns. Both mns files load with menuload but the digitiser
    customization doesn't work, nothing from TABLET1 and standard commands for
    the other areas.....any ideas ?

    Chris,

    There is no need to have two separate user menus, but that doesn't solve
    your problem.

    What you need is some code in the user menu's .mnl file, to swap the tablet
    menus, e.g.:
    (menucmd "Gacad.T1=User.TABLET1")

    (Note, this is untested, as I have no tablet.)

    This works for me (assuming the menugroup name is "MyPartialMenu"):

    (menucmd "T1=MyPartialMenu.tablet1")
    (menucmd "T2=MyPartialMenu.tablet2")
    (menucmd "T3=MyPartialMenu.tablet3")
    (menucmd "T4=MyPartialMenu.tablet4")

    To switch back to the acad menu:
    (menucmd "T1=acad.tablet1")
    ....

    Thanks for confirming, Stephan. I almost dug out my last digitizer to check
    it out myself. ;^)
