I posted this in CAD Managemeny aCAD customization, but I think it really should have been here;

""

OK, I made my partial, and copy modified my tab and panels. All I want are long columns of block insert commands, but I created one insert command, named the block in the macro, then copied that a bunch of times. Now if I change an icon or a block in the macro, thay all change. Do I have to make a new insert command for each block (instead of copying the one I've modified)? Also, is it possible to have a pulldown in a pulldown? I can't find an example to copy, but I usually don't have the acad cui loaded. ""

You finally found the right place if it's an AutoCAD CUI Menu. What version of AutoCAD are you working with?

2009 vanilla and MEP 2011.
I figured out that if I'm going to make panels with simple insert commands, I have to duplicate the commands for each insert. I have my layout pretty much done (I have some pathing issues so I don't disrupt any functioning users), but I am having a little problem getting the commands that have drop downs to keep the assigned icon, and not the first icon in the drop down commands. I can mess with that later.
I wish I could have a drop down inside a drop down, but hoenstly the whole point of what I'm doing is removing clicks and complications. K.I.S.S.
