kramerO Posted January 16, 2011 Posted January 16, 2011 An example pull down menu for inserting blocks can be downloaded at http://forums.augi.com/showthread.php?t=49801&page=2. Download and unzip AEC.zip, locate osaec.mnu.
Guest natsha61 Posted January 16, 2011 Posted January 16, 2011 kramerO i have tried.its very difficult to use.i think i want to check it that.
ReMark Posted January 16, 2011 Posted January 16, 2011 Save yourself a lot of time, effort and aggravation by creating a custom Tool Palette with all your blocks on it. It's so easy a draftsman can do it. 2000i? Really? Does 2000i have Tool Palettes? I can't recall. There used to be a program called Block Librarian that made this task easier.

You got a problem with 2000i? Customization is the great thing about AutoCAD. The OP asked about pull down menus, don't be Obtuse.

Even if you decide to use Tool Palettes it is good to know how to customize.

ReMark Posted January 16, 2011 Posted January 16, 2011 No I don't have a problem with 2000i. What seems to be your problem? You never heard of working smarter not harder? Define obtuse.

There are three different block managers at The Swamp, but this one works the best for me. You may also want to read http://www.cadalyst.com/cad/autocad/customizing-your-pulldown-menus-4730 for more info on the pull down menu. An example to get you started. Use Windows Notepad and use .mnu file extension. ***MENUGROUP=YOURMENUGROUPNAME ***POP1 [YOURMENUNAME] ID_yournametag [Menu Item Tag]^C^C_-insert YOURBLOCKNAME \ 1; This assumes that you have put your blocks folder location in the AutoCAD Support File Search Path.

ccowgill Posted January 18, 2011 Posted January 18, 2011 Obtuse - angle larger than 90 but less than 180 degrees Tool palettes were introduced in 2004. Tool palettes are the way to go in the newer versions of AutoCAD, you can predefine scales, layers, and many other properties. If you have a drawing that contains all the blocks, the design center allows you to easily create a tool palette from all the blocks within the drawing.

ReMark Posted January 23, 2011 Posted January 23, 2011 Had you just put your blocks on a new tool palette you would have been done by now. It's been a week since you first posted. I think you could have created a good half-dozen tool palettes in far less time.
Cad64 Posted January 23, 2011 Posted January 23, 2011 Natsha61 is actually just balaji again. So now he is banned, again. This is the 4th time, if anyone else is keeping track.
ReMark Posted January 23, 2011 Posted January 23, 2011 Guess I have been punked again! The guy doesn't give up easily.
Cad64 Posted January 23, 2011 Posted January 23, 2011 I wish it were that simple, but his IP is dynamic, so if we ban one IP he will just sign up under another one. All we can do is hope he finally gets the message and stops creating new accounts. He has a very distinct way of typing out his messages, and his posts always involve a request for some type of lisp routine, so if you think you see him signed up under another new name, just send me a PM so I can investigate.
