    Default Enterprise CUI taking preference over main

    Greetings all,
    I have a User who has changed the default shortcut menu on his custom (Main CUI) however the change does not carry through.
    As a test I changed it on the Enterprise CUI file and the change carries through after that.
    I have a single Enterprise CUI on the server and want to keep it OOTB apart from a few office wide standard menus and ribbons. I especially do not want to have to keep one persons preference on the office wide Enterprise CUI.
    How do I tell ACAD to take the Main CUI shortcut menus preference over the Enterprise?
    Do I need to place all the shortcut menus in each persons main CUI and remove all from the Enterprise?

    Thanks in advance.

    Shortcut menus? Are you referring to the Quick Access Toolbar (QAT)?

    No, a shortcut menu, like the default menu, when you have nothing selected and right click the mouse.
    I have added a command to the bottom of the default menu (under shortcut menu) in the main cui, and nothing actually changes. If I add the command to the bottom of the default menu in the enterprise cui it works. He wants an extra command or two when he right clicks with nothing selected.

    Shortcut menus (also known as context-sensitive or right-click menus) will load from only one location. So your user will need to copy all the shortcut menus into their own CUIx and then force AutoCAD to load them from their own CUIx. This can usually be done by using the Menu command to load just the user's CUIx and then after that restoring the correct CUIx structure.

    However, to avoid the one-time Menu command headache, you may be able to use similar code to the below to force a specific shortcut menu (the example below is for the Object Snap menu) :
    Code:
    (menucmd “P0=AU.MyOSnaps”)
    Replace "AU" with the MenuGroup name of the user's CUIx and "MyOSnaps" with the CUIx's shortcut menu name.

    The Customization Guide, onder the topic "Create a Shortcut Menu" has more information about the proper naming conventions for shortcut menus.
