    Default AutoCAD 2010 drop-down menu icon size

    Hello:

    I'm in the process of finalizing our .cuix file for AutoCAD Architecture 2010. I've added numerous drop down menus. For some of these menus, I have specified the small icon size (16x16) for each command, but when the drop-down is activated, AutoCAD displays the icons as 32x32 instead. It takes the 16x16 image and displays it at 2x size, which doesn't look good.

    Is this a bug? If not, what can I do to resolve this problem?

    I don't know if it is a bug or not. I'm on AutoCAD MEP and I am not going to recreate the pulldown menus since they are not there (the same boat as ACA).

    So I haven't noticed the issue.

    BTW, I'm not seeing this behavior with OOTB AutoCAD. The pulldown menu icons are 16x16 in the AutoCAD profile.

    I think there is a bug with the images for drop down menus - I creates 16x16 and 32x32 images for DDMs, and when I set it to a large icon with text the image always looks 'fuzzy' as if its being scaled - even though it should be using the 32x32 image.

    My reseller (who provides us with support) has raised this with AutoDesk to no avail...

    Just to be clear... you are talking about the Menus node, correct?

    If so, why are you not specifying Both as the icon image size option? The user should have the option of deciding to show either small or large icons, since that decision also affects toolbars.

    Ah, I was referring to the pull down in the pane which is part of the ribbon - not the pull down menus.

    To recreate the problem I was referring to do this:

    - Create a custom cuix file, and create a new ribbon tab and then ribbon pane.

    - Select new drop down menu and assign a custom image to it large and small (don't use the AutoCAD icons).

    - When the ribbon tab with the pane is displayed the 32x32 image is not displaced correctly - it looks like its been scales a little.

    Same for plain AutoCAD 2011. It doesn't seem to matter what 'Button Style' you specify for the list-elements - they allways show up 32x32 if you unfold the list.

    No problem, unless you have some long lists like I do - then the bottom part falls off the screen... The only way to solve this is to remove the icon alltogether?

    Experiencing the same problem. I have a list of 24 choices for a drop-down of Isometric angle valve. If I remove the "large icon" for each drop-down button, all I get is text. The description for angle valves in isometric it too complicated to consider, and an icon is so simple. I can seem to get the drop-down to used the "small icon" in the flyout. Current work-around is to split the list between two drop downs. Definitely Not ideal. I anyone knows of some switch I'm missing I would love to hear it.

    What! They mean: "Broken by design!" Only ADesk could possibly think that's a "good" answer!
