troubles with custom image library

[eleonard]

I am trying to create a custom image library into an .mns file that I have created. I have gotten as far as getting the dialog box to appear, but there is not title to the dialog box nor do the images i have added.
I have made sure that my support file search path has the network directory where my blocks and images are, but they don't show up. (my blocks and images are named the same thing with the exception of the file extension.)

Here is what I have so far.

***POP2
[JUB Civil &Library]
[&Civil Library]$i=JUBCIVIL.scales $i=*
***IMAGE
**SCALES
[JUB Scale Blocks]
[2SCALE,2SCALE]^c^c-insert;2scale
[10scale,10scale]^c^c-insert;10scale

***TOOLBARS


Any help would be great.

Hi

For starters try the links found in the following couple of posts...

RE: Customizing AutoCAD 2000i (Pull down menus)

RE: Creating Slides

Plus, see if any of the information in the following thread is helpful / useful...

Toolbar menu buttons override each other

I have an ATP lesson I did that I will forward on to you when I get out of class here.

I have an ATP lesson I did that I will forward on to you when I get out of class here.

If it is the ATP 043 Customizing Menus in AutoCAD 2004 I have it and that is what I have been following, but I get to the part where I add the images and I can't seem to get it to work.
I am running this off of the network, but I have pathed everything propertly I think.

Hi

Just checking here...

By the term "images" you do mean Slides ( .SLD files or .SLB slide library files) ?

Hi

So "JUBCIVIL" is a partially loaded menu group ?

And "scales" is an image menu from partially loaded menu group "JUBCIVIL" ?

I believe that is the correct term... I am still learning so much about custom menus and everything.

[&Civil Library]$i=JUBCIVIL.scales $i=* <- Is JUBCIVIL refencing | and scales |
***IMAGE............................................................................................................................|
**SCALES <--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------this
[JUB Scale Blocks]

Or are my above comments ( questions ) correct ?

eleonard,

I think the format you want is

[2SCALE]^C^C-insert;2scale;

I don't think the comma and extra text is the correct format.

If you are going to have very many of these inserts it would be worth it to create a slide library (using slidelib.exe that comes with autocad) and then the format would be

[JUB_Scale_Blocks (2SCALE)]^C^C-insert;2scale;

"JUB_Scale_Blocks" is the name of the slide library which will contain the "2SCALE" slide.

Let me know if this helps, if you need assistance with the slide library just holler
