Custom Image Menu and Toolbars Do Not Work in AutoCad2000i

I made custom toolbars and a custom Image menu for AutoCad14. We recently updated to 2000i. I loaded my custom menu with the menuload command as I did in R14 and everything seemed to load correctly. Toolbars came up correctly (no smiley faces etc.), but when I pick on any of the icons the Layer Properties Manager Dialog Box comes up. Has anyone run into this problem? I made sure it is in the search path. I have done everything just as I did in R14. If this is too vague please let me know and I will be happy to supply more information.

What command is supposed to run? 

If you are using the layer command, try
-layer

For the image menu it is different I.D. Mark location blocks that I created and you just have to pick the image and it inserts the block. The toolbars are basically the same thing. One toolbar icon has P.I. on it. When you pick that icon it inserts the block P.I. Now when I pick any of the images or toolbar icons, instead of it inserting the correct blocks, the Layer Properties Manager Dialog Box comes up which has nothing to do with what I am inserting with my custom menus.

i hope this is what you are looking for, images?
icons? toolbars?...

at the begining of the .mnu file that is being
menuloaded

make sure you define a unique name ex
***MUNUGROUP=DEBORAH

then whenever you have an image (or icon as
they used to be called)

make sure the menugroup is introduced as shown
below

^C^C$I=DEBORAH.MYBLOCKS $I=*

What is the command behind one of the buttons that
is causing the problem?

Mark & Jim,

This is what I have at the beginning of my menu which works in R14:
***MENUGROUP=ALCOA
***POP1
[ALCOA]
[BLOCKS]$I=ALCOA.BLOCKS $I=*

This is one of the buttons:
[_Button("PI", "PI.bmp", "ICON_24_BLANK")]^C^CLAYER S DIMS;;INSERT PI \1 1 0 \

All of this works fine in R14. I don't know what I am missing in 2000i.

0 \

 

put a - before the layer and the
insert

[_Button("PI", "PI.bmp", "ICON_24_BLANK")]^C^C-LAYER S DIMS;;-INSERT PI \1
1 0 \

    Jim,

    I did change it on that one and it worked. I have alot of items to change but if it works it will certainly be worth it. Just one question? Why do I have to do that for 2000i and did not have to for R14? Thanks alot for your help.

    This was a program change in AutoCAD
    2000.

    In R14 you had to use ddinsert to get to the insert
    dialog and I don't know

    what to get to the layer dialog (I never used it
    that way).

     

    In a text editor (WordPad will do), you can do a
    find and replace in the .mns file
