Need MAJOR help

[Anonymous]

I posted this in Customization and CAD Manager but I know that not everyone
has all the groups in their favorites so I'm posting here in the hopes for
information:


I'm willing to bet only autodesk can answer this one(then again...). Here is
the issue.

I created a company tool bar. I made some BMP Icons for the buttons. One of
the icons I was messing around with and made a face. I went ot put it back
the way it was later, and it wouldnt let me. See the attached image. I
un-installed all of ADT 3.3, deleted the directory and re-installed it... it
is still there!! Where the heck is this image file being held!?!?

Here is the men
u file for our tool bar below. I put a ------------> to show
which one is the icon. whats the deal! Please help.

Compiling them into a resource DLL is a great way to avoid these
hassles. Two files in the same folder and it's all squared away.

that!?! anyway thank you al lfor the help

Hi,

The DLL must have the same file name as the menu file.

You only call the BMP name from the DLL without the ".BMP" extension.

See AfraLisp for everything I've ever learnt about this and to get Resource
Hacker to create the DLLs.

Did you try deleting the associated .mnr file? By all means, not the .mns. You can actually delete the .mnc (compiled) and .mnr (resource file, holds the bitmaps)
Then reload your menu into AutoCAD (menuload) and the bitmaps should reappear as they were
