Well, ain't that a B.....!
I tried exactly that and it didn't work in A2K. I received an AutoLISP
error message when the mnl loaded.
Just for kicks, I copied your statement under mine, THEN I discovered I had
left off the closing quotes. Grrrrrr.
Now it works just fine, and with the menu loading in the normal order,
which is before S::Startup is loaded.
So to repost what I did for Mick, the mnl entries would be:
;;; AutoLISP routines used by the AC_LMS conversion Menu.
;;; This file is loaded automatically following the menu AC_LMS
;;; Overrides the ACAD Menu buttons and places the
;;; LMS pulldown menus after the help pulldown menu
;;; POP0 is handled on an individual basis in menus
(princ "\nAC_LMS menu loaded ") ;indicates that menu loaded
(princ "\nAC_LMS menu conversion & utilities ") ;indicates that mnl...
(menucmd "B1=AC_LMS.buttons1") ;replaces ACAD.mnu buttons1
(menucmd "B2=AC_LMS.buttons2") ;replaces ACAD.mnu buttons2
(menucmd "B3=AC_LMS.buttons3") ;replaces ACAD.mnu buttons3
(menucmd "B4=AC_LMS.buttons4") ;replaces ACAD.mnu buttons4
(menucmd "A2=AC_LMS.aux2") ;replaces ACAD.mnu aux2
(menucmd "GACAD.ACCELERATORS=AC_LMS.ACCELERATORS") ;replaces ACAD.mnu ACC.
(menucmd "P13=+AC_LMS.pop1") ;adds AC_LMS.mnu Pop1 to ACAD.mnu as Pop13
(menucmd "P14=+AC_LMS.pop2") ;adds AC_LMS.mnu Pop2 to ACAD.mnu as Pop14
(menucmd "P15=+AC_LMS.pop3") ;adds AC_LMS.mnu Pop3 to ACAD.mnu as Pop15
(menucmd "P16=+AC_LMS.pop4") ;adds AC_LMS.mnu Pop4 to ACAD.mnu as Pop16
(princ "loaded.") ;...is loaded
And just for kicks, I will include what I found to be the loading order of:
Order: File: For use by:
1. acad.rx User
2. acad2000.lsp Autodesk
3. acad.lsp User
4. acad2000doc.lsp Autodesk
5. acettest.fas Express Tools (or acetutil.fas)
6. acetauto.lsp Express Tools
7. acetloc.lsp Express Tools
8. acaddoc.lsp User
9. mymenu.mnc User
10. mymenu.mnl User
11. mylisp.lsp User
12. acad.mnc Autodesk
13. acad.mnl Autodesk
14. acetmain.mnc Express Tools
15. acetmain.mnl Express Tools
16. acad.lsp s::startup User
Thanks for the wakeup call, Dan.
