Icon Menu Wizard

[jmatt287]

I am having some issues when attempting to open the Icon Menu Wizard. Normally when I would click on the Icon Menu Wizard, I would have the options to select the default .dat files for either the panel or schematic icon menus. Or a third option would be to browse for the .dat file I wished to edit. For some odd reason when I opened the Icon Menu Wizard this morning, it has quit giving me the option to select the .dat file I wished to edit and just opens straight to the schematic icon menu.

Any ideas on how to fix this?

thanks,

Stupid questions:

1. The window that appears. Is it named "Icon Menu Wizard" on top?

2. Have you restarted AcadE?

3. Does it work if you activate another project?

[jmatt287]

Yes, I have restarted ACADE as well as activating another project and I am still not presented with the option to select which .dat file I wish to edit. It just continues to default to the schematic icon menu wizard.

As a workaround, if you write this on the command-line:

(setq GBL_wd_sch_menu_override "MYMENU.DAT")

change MYMENU.DAT to your menu file name, and press the Icon Menu Wizard button...

[jmatt287]

That seems to work ok as a workaround although I'm not a fan of it. But thanks for the help

For my curisoity, could you turn on debugging, and run the Icon Menu Wizard command?

You can turn on "debug mode" byt typing this on the command line: (setq Aw_debug 1)

and press enter. 

The run the Icon Menu Wizard again, and press "Cancel". Now, press F2 to see the command line, and copy/paste that information into a reply here...

What happens if you type this on the command line?

(wd_mnu_get_mnu "mymenu.dat")

[jmatt287]

That just worked the same as the command you gave me earlier, which was

(setq GBL_wd_sch_menu_override "MYMENU.DAT")

[rhesusminus]

Strange indeed. So, no messages returned to the command line?

It's supposed to show the "select menu file"-dialog:

Do you have a networked version of AcadE with customized files?

I'll do some checking to see if I can find the DCL-file for this dialog...

[rhesusminus · Accepted solution]

This dialog is a part of the file C:\Program Files\Autodesk\AutoCAD 2014\Acade\Support\en-US\wdmnuwiz.dcl

Can you post this file here, so that I can compare it to my version?

[jmatt287]

I am not using a network version...I think I may see what the problem is here. When I follow the file path you just sent me, when I'm in the "support'' folder, there is only 1 file there which is "Mtextmap.ini"
Maybe somehow or another I deleted the contents of the ''Support'' folder
