    Unhappy Familiar pull downs gone.. help

    I upgraded my AutoCad 2008 to 2008 MEP. My Autodesk vendor has not yet offered classes on the software. I also purchased a new PC and loaded the software . I have no access to my old Autocad 2008 and am missing the pull downs I am familiar with.

    How do I, or can I load those menus. I thought since the MEP was built on Autocad 2008 I would be able to function until my dealer offered the classes but I'm stumped... and in a bind.

    eldridge,

    Try using the MENULOAD command - you will need to copy your old .mnu, .mns, and/or .cui files over from the old machine.

    A couple of things; check your profiles and see if there is a "vanilla" profile; if you load that, it will bring up the vanilla AutoCAD menus.

    Also, there might be a shortcut to start AutoCAD, instead of MEP - check under your start button.

    I am basing this information on how previous vertical applications ran; I'm not sure if it's still the same way.

    Close CAD. On your desktop icon RHC. Select Properties. At the end of the target text should be a /p, change the text in the quote marks to "AutoCAD". Now restart AutoCAD and voila!
