Creating a Pull Down Menu to Open other files

[tennis4you]

Is there a way to create a pull down menu that would open other AutoCAD files? I have about 20 files I continually access with all kinds of blocks in them. It is easier for me to just go to those files to get what I need.

 

Thanks!

Yes, it is possible in AutoCAD 2012 by using CUI command. I am not sure you can use this command in AutoCAD LT.

Why don't you create a tool pallet with all your blocks in it?

It's called the Design Center. LT don't let you write the kind of code you need for the cool stuff.

You can call a lisp routine using the FILED command with proper attributes

The OP is using LT so the LISP option is out.
