Sorry to post another one about this subject, but I've read some many here and I still can't seem to get my pop0 replaced. I don't want to touch the acad.mnu, I just want pop0 to read my new pop0 menu. (menucmd "P0=custom2.WILLEYSNAP") (menucmd "A2=custom2.AUX2") Above is what I added to my custom.mnl file per some post I read. ***MENUGROUP=custom2 ***AUX2 $P0=custom2.WILLEYSNAP $p0=* $P0=custom2.WILLEYSNAP $p0=* ***POP0 **WILLEYSNAP [&Object Snap Cursor Menu] ID_From [&From]_from ID_MnPointFi [->Poin&t Filters] ID_PointFilx [.X].X ID_PointFily [.Y].Y ID_PointFilz [.Z].Z [--] ID_PointFixy [.XY].XY ID_PointFixz [.XZ].XZ ID_PointFiyz [<-.YZ].YZ [--] ID_OsnapBi [&Bisect]'bi ID_OsnapAX [Aling X]'alignx ID_OsnapAY [Align Y]'aligny ID_OsnapAZ [Align Z]'alignz [--] ID_OsnapEndp [&Endpoint]_endp ID_OsnapMidp [&Midpoint]_mid ID_OsnapInte [&Intersection]_int ID_OsnapAppa [&Apparent Intersect]_appint ID_OsnapExte [E&xtension]_ext [--] ID_OsnapCent [&Center]_cen ID_OsnapQuad [&Quadrant]_qua ID_OsnapTang [Tan&gent]_tan [--] ID_OsnapPerp [&Perpendicular]_per ID_OsnapPara [Para&llel]_par ID_OsnapNode [No&de]_nod ID_OsnapInse [In&sert]_ins ID_OsnapNear [Nea&rest]_nea ID_OsnapNone [&None]_non [--] ID_Osnap [&Osnap Settings...]'_+dsettings 2 Above is in my custom2.mns file. I erased all the .mnc .mnr and .mnu after doing this. Tried reloading and it still doesn't work. Open acad again so that it could recompile and nothing. What am I missing? This is my first attempt at make my own pop0 menu. Using network version of A2K2 soon to be A2K4 Win2k Thanks for the help. Tim
Why are you concerned about customizing the acad.mnu? I do it all the time and have never had any problems. If you're concerned about wanting to leave the original acad.mnu alone, then copy it.
It's because when I get a new job I don't want to have to change everything again. If I can set it up this way it will just be less of a hassle then. Tim
I believe this is what you want .... (menucmd "A2=custom2.AUX2") ***MENUGROUP=custom2 ***AUX2 $P0=custom2.WILLEYSNAP $p0=* ***POP0 **WILLEYSNAP [&Object Snap Cursor Menu] ID_From [&From]_from
Chip, That still didn't work. The old "acad" object snap menu still pops up for my middle mouse button. Is there something that I am missing? Thanks for the help on this over asked question. Tim
Make the changes you want to the acad.mnu (copying the original first, though) and then load it. Also copy the acad.mnu that you revised and keep the copy on a diskette for yourself. If you have to go to another place, take your revised copy with you and reinstall the original and load it. No hassel, no fuss.
Also, you should be aware that there are three locations for the menu: C:\Documents and Settings\<user name>\Application Data\Autodesk\ Autocad 2004\R16.0\enu\Support\ C:\Program Files\R2004\UserDataCache\Support\ C:\Program Files\R2004\Support
Getting ready to head out the door ... post your mns and mnl files (zip em first) ... or email them to me NOSPAMhot4cadAThotmail.com (make the obvious changes) and I'll look at it later or first thing in the am ... assuming you don't resolve it before then .... I use the same setup so it's just a matter of spotting whats different.
If I can't get this to work I may have to go that route. Is the acad.mnu release specific? If I copy my A2K2 from here then go to a place that is using R14, or something else, will the copy I made still work? Tim
Not necessarily, but you can copy the changes you made to the acad.mnu of R14 or whatever. Everybody here says don't revise the acad.mnu but I wholeheartedly disagree - it's easy, and works like a charm. I have the original copy saved elsewhere but don't anticipate EVER needing it. I show my students how to change it and when through, copy the original back to the computers at the college and reload it and we're back to square one. Copying and pasting is really simple.

Jose (I think) I tried that and it still didn't work. If you have anymore suggestions I'm happy to try. Thanks for helping Tim

Can you think of anyother reason why it won't work? Tim
(command "_.menuunload" "custom2") (command "_.menuload" (findfile "custom2.mnu")) think of anyother reason why it won't work?
Ok, assuming that you haven't figured it out yet ... the mns and mnl files have to have the same name .... right now you have custom2.mns and custom.mnl change the mnl file to custom2.mnl.
I am not sure if anyone has answered the original question properly as yet. However I always leave the original acad.mnu untouched. I also have my own custom.mnu (note not mns). I found a system that works well. 1. You must unload all menus from MENULOAD. 2. Load your CUSTOM.MNU (whatever your file name is) 3. Answer YES to the dialog 4. Load the acad.mnc (not mnu) 5. Go to 'Menu Groups' tab and load all the menu items back in as they were lost when you unloaded all the menus in step 1. This will produce your POP 0 99% of the time. Sometimes it gets confused so you must exit autocad and come back in but this is very rare. Hope it helps Andreas Vasiliou Computer Supportworks South Australia is the standard acad.mnu with your pop0.
