Create a Shortcut Menu
Shortcut menus provide contextual access to commands based on
right-clicking. Contextual states vary depending on if a command is active,
an object is selected, or if no command or object is selected.
You create custom shortcut menus that replace the default shortcut menus in
AutoCAD or to insert additional commands into a specific shortcut menu.
Commands on a shortcut menu can be displayed as a single item or as a
grouping of items with a submenu. Unlike pull-down menus, shortcut menus
do not need to be added to a workspace in order to be displayed. For more
information about shortcut menu customization, see
