OK. I have read all the instructions on how to create a legacy tile menu. Did that. But the slidelib does not show up. The instructions are sort of like "Yes, Virginia, there is a Santa Claus, but here's just PART of the information you need to know about him". We used to put in $I=elecsym1 $I=* and up would come the slide library on the screen. At the end of the .mnu file we put the lisp routine Defun commands for the symbols on the screen as follows:

 

**elecsym1

[select Logic Symbol]

[elecsyb(nosw)]^C^Cnopb;

and so on

 

How do you do this now?

Here's a screen shot from a cui that has an Image menu. The my2008 is the name of a partial menu that has the image menu; symbols1 is the name of the .slb file.

I wish I could be of more help but it's been a long time since i've worked with image menus, gone to using toolpalettes instead.

 

kinda hard to see but the macro says ^c^c^c $I=my2008.symbols1 $I=*

 

Also... the macros for the commands associated with the image menu are set up in the Legacy > Image Tile Menus section of the CUI

OK, thanks. But I really needed some detailed instructions. I gather that I have to create a partial menu. Details on that needed. Anyone with more detail I need the help.

here is an example make a new menu as a seperate one and use menuload its easier. usea a SLB GGSTDS

 

***MENUGROUP=GGSTDS

***POP1

**CADLIB

[LIBRARY]

[->Stddwgs]

[TRENCH]$I=GGSTDS.TRENCH $I=*

[PIPES]$I=GGSTDS.PIPES $I=*

[PITS]$I=GGSTDS.PITS $I=*

[FURN]$I=GGSTDS.FURN $I=*

 

***image

**FURN

[FURNITURE:]

[GGSTDS(CHAIR-1)]^c^cINSERT ca3ch-1 DRAG \1;;DRAG

[GGSTDS(CHAIR-2)]^c^cINSERT ca3ch-2 DRAG \1;;DRAG

[GGSTDS(SOFA-1)]^c^cINSERT ca3sof1 DRAG \1;;DRAG

Well, well, well. Like the fella in "My Fair Lady", by George I think I've got it!. The darn 'ol heck with slide librarys and such. Toolpalettes are the WAY TO GO!! I finally got on the bandwagon! I see what all the advice was about! Talk about simple, talk about elegant. Autohide, docking, customizable out the yam! What a wonderful day!! Anybody just starting out, please give these a try.
