Toolbar menus

[Anonymous]

I am running LT2000 at work and have created a couple of custom toolbars
that I would like to give to a co-worker, I need to know which files to give
him, or if he has to copy and paste all of the macros and create the toolbar
buttons himself. I know it's one of the mns, mnc, mnr, mnu I just don't know
which one.
Thanks,
DC

The file ACLT.MNS contains your toolbars and macros. You also need to give
him any icon bmp files you made, which should be in the same folder as the
menu. If he has his own toolbar customization, he will need to cut and
paste your toolbars from the toolbars section of your menu file.

MNU = Original Menu Template.
MNS = MNU + Customized tollbars.
MNC & MNR = Compliled versions of MNS.

Distribute the MNS file and delete existing MNC & MNR.

If you are doing a lot of customization a good idea
is to make a new menu file and load as a partial menu.
This way you can add stuff without interfreing with
other changes already done.
Another thing, somtimes menus get corrupted and
need recompilng. All changes made to the MNS will be lost.

Follow this tutorial to make your own partial menu.

Make a new menu file:
1. Create a new text document (i.e. a *.txt from notepad)
2. Name it to something like MyMenu.mnu
3. Save the file in LT's Support folder.
4. Open it in Notepad and add a single row: ***MENUGROUP=MyMenu
Menugroup can be anything, just a habit of mine to use the file name.
5. In AutoCAD LT, Tools -> Customize -> Menus.
6. Uncheck "Replace all".
7. Click Browse and open MyMeny.mnu.
8. Click Load and answer Yes to next dialog.

Add stuff to the new menu:
1. View -> Toolbars.
2. Select MyMenu in the "Menugroup" list.
3. Add toolbars & buttons as usual.
4. Close LT.
You now also have Mymenu.mns, mnc & mnr.
All new toolbars are in the mns file
5. Delete MyMenu.mnu, mnc & mnr.
6. Rename mns to mnu.
Now you have a partial menu. This menu
can be recompiled without loosing any buttons.

Future customization of MyMenu:
New toolbars ends up (as always) in the mns file.
Copy theese sections from the mns file
and paste inte the mnu file.
When you becomes an "LT-menu-expert" add toolbars
and buttons by editing the mnu file directly.
Remember to reload (compile) the mnu file after editing.
