Right Click...Properties.

I wish when you right clicked after selecting an object that the Properites
option was the first one on the list.

I can't agree, as Properties is quickly accessed by double-clicking an object in recent releases, but it does belong close to the top of the pop-up with the rest of the Autocad commands, rather than dead last, after the ADT commands, (including whichever object-specific commands apply.)_______ My vote would be to change the first on the list, Repeat XXX" so that it NEVER includes ERASE, ZOOM WINDOW, UNDO,etc--just creation and modification commands so we can get back to drawing, which is the whole point. (OR__also list Repeat 2nd last command). Bob

The right click menu can be
customized....


style="PADDING-RIGHT: 0px; PADDING-LEFT: 5px; MARGIN-LEFT: 5px; BORDER-LEFT: #000000 2px solid; MARGIN-RIGHT: 0px">

Care to share? 

 

The great strength of AutoCAD is that
EVERYTHING is customizable and there are multiple ways of doing things...that is
also it's weakness.  I've often felt that it takes as much time to keep up,
set up and customize.  I spend way too much time getting wall styles and
windows and doors and schedules and...and... set just right.  Then, once it
all works well, a new release comes along which means some redoing,
recustomizing...

 

Oh well...

Look at Pop2, Pop501 and Pop5012 in the default
acad.menu. I think you'll see what they are doing.

You can also dynamically add and remove menu items
from the right click with VBA.
