_ai_molc command returns unknown command message

[jan.pennabecker]

In the layer tool bar, my _ai_molc command (Makes the layer of a selected object the current layer) doesnt work. It says unknown command. What could be wrong?

Thanks for any help

What version of AutoCAD?
Are you using a custom menu as your main menu?
That function is defined in "acad.mnl" so if "acad.mnu" (or "acad.cui") is not loaded, then "acad.mnl" is not loaded.
If you copied "acad.mnu" (or "acad.cui") and renamed it, then do the same with the MNL file.

I am using autocad 2005 and a custom menu. I cannt find an autocad mnl file.

Look in the default location:

C:\Documents and Settings\username\Application Data\Autodesk\AutoCAD 2007\R17.0\enu\Support

(items in blue will vary depending on the username, AutoCAD version, and language.)

...and you are looking for "acad.mnl"

Not sure what is going on but I dont have a sub directory R17.0\enu in my autocad2005?

Hmmm. What folder name do you have in the AutoCAD 2005 folder? Do you have a 16.1? Keep following until you find a support folder.

[jan.pennabecker]

I have a support folder directly under acad2005, but no other folders under support. Just files.

Is there an acad.mnl file in that folder? If you cannot find it there, try searching your computer. You can also try to find it through AutoCAD by copying and pasting the following code to the command prompt.

(findfile "acad.mnl")

If there is an acad.mnl file located in any of your supoort paths for AutoCAD, that code will tell you where it is located.

That's why I included this.

It was only an example, not meant to indicate the contents of your hard drive. There is no way for me to know what language and username you would have found when you went to search.
