How to disable 3DORBIT?

Can any one suggest...

How to disable 3DORBIT from ZOOM shortcut menu(Both in transparent and non transparent commands) . I am using AutoCAD Map 3D 2005.
Because of this option in ZOOM shortcut menu. Unexpectedly I am selecting this option and which causes to so many problems in 2D drawings.

Regards,
Kotesh.

Hi

As far as I know you can't.... again as far as I know that particular shortcut pop-up menu is built into core AutoCAD.

Might want to have a browse through the following results obtained via an Autodesk Discussion "All AutoCAD Groups" search -

3DOrbit AND Shortcut AND Menu - 16 results

Have a good one, Mike

Kotesh,

Read my article in the Jul/Aug 2004 AUGIWorld magazine on context-menu editing. Download here.

Hi Robert

I am most probably looking right at it, and not seeing it, but from your Jul/Aug 2004 AUGIWorld article...

It is my understand that running (I:LISTMENUS) will return a list of all context-sensitive menus that are available for editing, is that correct?

If yes, I can't see the right-click "RealTime Zoom / Pan" menu (please refer to attached screen capture) that holds 3D Orbit.

Could you please explain a little bit more....

You are correct Mike... that menu is not available for edit.

Rather, add this to Acad.lsp:

(arxload "AcOrbit.arx" nil)

and add this to AcadDoc.lsp or a loaded custom menu's .mnl file:

(defun-q No3DOrbit ()
 (command "._Undefine" "3DOrbit")
 (princ))
(defun C:3DOrbit ()
 (command "._RTZoom")
 (princ))
(setq S::Startup (append S::Startup No3DOrbit))

This won't get rid of the item, but will at least replace it with real-time zoom.

Hi Robert

Ok! I see, and understand what you have done here.... but when using RealTime Zoom or Pan, right-click to bring up the shortcut menu.... ok! I think you get the picture.....

Kotesh, it definitely doesn't look like it is possible to achieve what you are after.....

Mike,
The 3D Orbit item will still be there, using my code, but the command "3DOrbit" will execute the real-time zoom instead.
