Dear Sirs:

Let's say image tile submenu "DONUTS-1" contains 5 dialog boxes. How do you get the descriptions and notes in list box containing, e.g. "Delicious Donut, Good Donut," to correspond to the specific dialog box that is displayed. i.e. when I click "next", I want the info in the list box to be exclusive to the tiles in the specific dialogue box that is being displayed.

The way the submenu is currently designed, when the "next" button is clicked, I get the same info in the list box regardless of which dialogue box being displayed.

Hope you can help, it would mean a great deal to me.

Very truly yours,

Sheldon Goodman

What are you trying to achieve with your image tile menu?

perhaps upload screen shots of what you're seeing vs what you want and your custom menu showing your 5 dialog boxes "DONUTS-1" so we can all take a look

OR.... are you wanting the descriptions to appear inside the images like here? In that case, you need to add the TEXT in the CAD file for each object, use MLSIDE to create the tile's image as a unique file, then compile it all in an SLB for your Image tile Menu (not forgetting to remove the TEXT an resaving your block file).

here is an overview from HELP https://knowledge.autodesk.com/support/autocad-lt/learn-explore/caas/CloudHelp/cloudhelp/2019/ENU/AutoCAD-LT/files/GUID-2E5F1395-B882-47B8-91F4-F58775BDE0FB-htm.html
