Could you put up a screen shot so we know what you want us to download - i'm very sceptical about just down loading unknown files.

Better again would be the code to look at first of course.

I tried to fix the demo file, can you see that GIF? 

This plugin does not provide the source code.

A bit strange, I can see the GIF here.

Gif is there now, a cool idea. The menu issue for me is writing a CUI or CUIX for a custom ribbon, but say using notepad or excel, if you change a cuix to zip can look inside. It is made of a few XML files, that would be helpfull. I also made a write mnu lsp so it helps the typing time, use it for pop menu's.

 

One of the things I have played with is make dcl code from a dwg, uses blocks etc, but need to make it look at a more complex dcl.

It's cool how we both use LISP to bypass tedious UI coding! What you described about unzipping CUIX to tweak the XML is very much like tweaking static DCL. It's a great, geeky hack for customization, and highly reliable since the underlying files are persistent.

 

Though we take slightly different paths on file management. Instead of juggling multiple external files to get a feature working, I'm totally obsessed with the 'all-in-one LISP' paradigm. In my VedaCAD main program(Fully utilized temporary DCL technology to achieve multi-level dynamic DCL pages similar to web pages), the Gomoku game, and this OW LISP, I generate temporary DCLs on-the-fly. I basically use native CAD entities to draw the interface directly in model space, and then destroy/clean up everything right after the routine finishes. Pure plug-and-play.
