Turn off express tools in the Menubar

[jlamber]

I would like to turn off the express tool visiblity in the menu bar.    I have turned them off in the CUI. (in all workspaces, I have removed the aecmain.lsp witch i see loads into the toolbar, I have unloaded the partial cui and reloaded).    If I set the workspace to one which it is turn off it goes away.   Problem is that when I open again "its back".   Is there another place that I don't know about that controls?

I "do" want to load the express tools.  I don't want them to show in the menubar nor the ribbon.   I want to allow command line or custom menu macro to call.   I was able to do this in 2010.

find the acetmain.mnl and remark out  the  line  (acet-init-placemenu)

this file is most probably in your appdata folder, check your support search path

...AppData\Roaming\Autodesk\AutoCAD 2010\R18.0\enu\Support

Thank you.   I certainly didn't realize there was a copy there too but it makes sense to have users in control of their own menu's.    Seems to me it really should be something controlled by the cui and workspace only.  Jim
