Question about opening drawings and menus

[Matt Mercer]

My question is there a way when you open a drawing a specific menu is automatically be loaded. Instead of opening a drawing and then typing "Menuload" and then have to load a specific menu. Maybe in a drawing setup?? Thanks for all who read and reply.

Hi Matt

Please note I've *moved* this thread from the ACAD 2005 General (http://forums.augi.com/forumdisplay.php?f=58) Forum to this one as I feel this particular Forum is a more appropriate place for such a topic.

Thanks, Mike

Hi

You could write some code that detects what drawing file you are Opening, depending on result returned you could then load a certain Menu file (or take whatever action you require).

An easier method might be to look into AutoCAD Profiles (ARG files) and setting up a series of project related AutoCAD Desktop Icons with "/p" command line switches associated with them.

Have a good one, Mike

You could also use the /b switch to run a script file on startup that would load the menu file for you.
