Script on open using (menucmd "Gacad.pop1=*")

If I use this in a script file and add it to my Desktop icon to run when I
start Autocad, how come the recent files at the bottom of the File pop menu
are greyed out. Even (menucmd "P1=*") causes the same behavior any other
menu that is pulled down ie (menucmd "P7=*") works fine nothing is greyed
out. What am I missing here...hopefully something simple?
Thanks
Richard

 

Try:
(menucmd "P1=+Gacad.POP1")

that did not work...sorry. I think what you are showing is to define which
pop goes in to the P1 position....
I thought you need to have the astersik * in order to actualy activate the
pulldown
when i do this:

Command: (MENUCMD "P1=*")
nil

the menu pullsdown but the recentfiles remain greyed out as does "Partial
Load" and "Send" from the FILE menu
and I'm not understanding why the "nil" appears. Thanks anyway

 

Richard,
Sorry. Mis-read the post. You are correct, just to 'load' a pop menu that is all you needed (menucmd "Gacad.pop1=*")
Should get it up there. Why is 'partial load' greyed out, I don't have a clue. Mine is too. (R2002). On the file-list, if there are actually .dwg's listed there, and they are greyed out. ???
I know you can set the quantity of files listed there, and whether you want to show the 'path' .. Hmm.
Ya got me hanging. Maybe some setting is affecting that.
SDI ?

I'm on R2002 LDD flavored ACAD and I Simply want to have the Pop1 menu
appear when I open a session.
SDI is currently set to 3. When I try to reset it.....it (LDD) don't like
it. It says it can only be 1 or 0..yet it remains continually at 3...huh?
Using Map is not an option. Again thanks for your help...hopefully some
other people can chime in
