Force custom pulldown to appear

Hi

In my code I have a simple line that loads a custom cuix :

 
(if (=(atof (getvar "acadver"))18.0)
  (command "_cuiload" "U:\\CAD\\Acad Customisation\\custom.cuix");
  );if

This works fine, the custom toolbars will always show, however the custom pull down menu will not.

I usually have to manually unload the custom.cuix then reload. Then the pulldown will appear.

What is causing this? Is there a way to force the pulldown menu to appear when I use 'cuiload' in the above code?

Look in the help for "menucmd"

This should be what you are looking for.

If a menu (mnu/cui/cuix) is loaded through code, the pulldowns have to be loaded manually with MenuCMD (or vla equivalent), as Tim said.

Thanks - I had a look at it. I can not get it to work. Perhaps my syntax is incorrect?

If my custom menu is called "mymenu"

and the pulldown is called "My Tools"

then why doesn't the pulldown appear at the 3rd position?

(given that the cuix called "mymenu" is already loaded)

 
(menucmd "P3=mymenu.My Tools")

thanks Alan once again.

That works just the way it should - so far.

have a good weekend

(....I guess that's the day after tommorrow for you:))

You're welcome.

Nah, my weekend started at 5:00pm today (we don't work on Friday).
