    Default HELP! Right Click missing menus

    One of my co-workers is having a heck of a time with ACAD. For some reason, the right click menu only comes up with the default menu. None of the context menus work. For example if a block is selected, and he right clicks, none of the block menu items (block edit) are available.

    I've checked the CUI and all of the shortcut menus are there. I've reloaded the ACAD.cui. I've replaced the ACAD.cui from the UserDataCache in case it was corrupt. We've restarted ACAD as well as his PC. So far no luck.

    Any suggestions appreciated!

    Try typing "options" in the command line.
    Then go to the user preference tab. In the top right is your right click customization. Make sure shortcut menus in drawing area is selected. Then go ahead and make the right click custumization the way you want it.

    Sorry, I forgot to mention that we've tried that already. Everything in the options dialog box is set for using right click menus. This happened once before and we ended up reinstalling ACAD. I'm hoping to avoid that this time around.

    Default Re: HELP! Right Click missing menus

    try typing shortcutmenu on the command line:

    Controls whether Default, Edit, and Command mode shortcut menus are available in the drawing area. The setting is stored as a bitcode using the sum of the following values:
    0
    Disables all Default, Edit, and Command mode shortcut menus, restoring AutoCAD Release 14 behavior.
    1
    Enables Default mode shortcut menus.
    2
    Enables Edit mode shortcut menus.
    4
    Enables Command mode shortcut menus whenever a command is active.
    8
    Enables Command mode shortcut menus only when command options are currently available at the command prompt.
    16
    Enables display of a shortcut menu when the right button on the pointing device is held down longer



    Mine is set to 19 for some reason. But it works as expected.

    hmm... 19 sounds like you have options 1,2, & 16 enabled, giving a total of 19
    Mine is set to 11 - options 1,2, & 8.

    Just to be sure, in the main CUI Shortcut Menus the Block Reference Object Menu with the block menu items including block edit are there? Mine does, but it has a lot of customization. If I remember correctly some of those Shortcut Menus were replaced with Ribbon tabs.
