    Love .mnu customization with LT

    Registered forum members do not see this ad.

    Hi,

    i think i am going slightly crazy!! but i have two version of AutoCAD running on seperate workstations - LT 2005 and 2008 Full Version.

    I have written and installed a .mnu file that referances to set blocks that have been created (using WBLOCK command) and stored in a single location.

    i have referanced the file support search path etc etc as this folder ON BOTH WORKSTATIONS

    ...right....only the 2008 Full version is working when i use the menu??? on the LT workstation it can't find the blocks and brings an error.

    is this right?!!! is there a limitation with LT and .mnu filre cutomizations?

    Cheers to anyone that can help.

    Rich.

    How are the blocks inserted? With a Lisp routine or a macro?

    Looks like a macro.

    Did you verify the path on the workstation running LT? It wouldn't take but a misplaced "/" or a switch of two adjacent letters to mess things up.

    yeah, all looks ok - selcted the location via BROWSE button so has to be right path.

    The menu's work ok if i open the drawing that i created all the block in before i saved them out with WBLOCK.

    I think you need to use _OPTIONS command and add path to your blocks to 'Support file serach path' tab.

    AMSI , this is my point exactly - i have added the path to my blocks in the support file search path already and it isn't working with LT only Full Version.

    see error i'm getting;

    i can assure you the block it is looking if is DEFINATELY in the location.
