    It's not in the CUI editor and isn't customizable by any standard method.

    Have you considered using a Shortcut Menu? I have two for most object types one for a single object and one for multiple.

    You can also customize the Contextual panels "Layout" and "Layout Tools" which should be available any time a layout is active anyway.

    To change the Ribbon from switching tabs to Layout every time you switch from the Model tab to a Layout: Customize… CUI → Partial Customization Files → ACAD → Ribbon → Contextual Tab States → Layout Tools → Contextual Layout Tools, switch Contextual Display Type from Full with focus to Full without focus. The Layout tab will still be available, but it will no longer automatically switch to it.

    Not sure what you're looking to do, but there are many ways to accomplish it.

    Thank you ALL....

    I just need to remove the PLOT command from there, due that I redefine the PLOT command and using a Plot reactor to get some Project info before Plotting and send it to a TXT file.
    But that specific PLOT command does not work with the redefining.

    Thank again.

    Using the layout tab shortcut menu for PLOT does work with a :vlr-CommandWillStart reactor. You would just need to filter for that command name. It is provided within the second argument for your autolisp routine.

    Code:
    (setq OP:vlrTestCommand
           (vlr-command-reactor
    	 "Command Reactor Check"
    	 '((:vlr-commandwillstart . testcmd))
           )
    )
    (defun testcmd (calling-reactor commandinfo)
      (alert
        (strcat "Starting the command <" (nth 0 commandinfo) ">")
      )
    )
    You can remove the above reactor either by closing the drawing, or running the following code with the same drawing and session.
    Code:
    (vlr-remove OP:vlrTestCommand)
    If you have a technical question, please find the appropriate forum and ask it there.
    You will get a quicker response from your fellow AUGI members than if you sent it to me via a PM or email.

    Consistency aside, which most know to be something I bring up often...

    This is why I greatly dislike the fact that Autodesk neglects to lock the Document and invoke the Command from their myriad ContextMenus in lieu of directly calling the Method() (which doesn't raise the CommandWillStart Event)... Civil 3D has this also in several places (Toolspace, Bueller?), which is infuriating... If they did, I and others could code solutions for things they don't have time to fix, by Veto()-ing the Command call and conditionally supplementing our own solutions.

    But nooooooo. Grrr Haha
