Command Specific Shortcut Menus
Like the CMEDIT menu, the CMCOMMAND menu can contain context-sensitive
commands. Menus named COMMAND_commandname control which commands
are appended to the CMCOMMAND menu when a command is active. The text of
commandname can be any valid AutoCAD command, including custom-defined
or third-party commands.
In many cases, you can enter a hyphen before a command to suppress the
display of a dialog box and display prompts for the command instead. To
create a context-sensitive menu for a command that displays prompts instead
of a dialog box (such as -INSERT), you need to name the menu
COMMAND_-INSERT.
To create a shortcut menu
Do one of the following:
■ To create a standard shortcut menu
a Click Manage tab ➤ Customization panel ➤ User Interface.
b In the Customize User Interface Editor, Customize tab, in the
Customizations In <file name> pane, right-click Shortcut Menus. Click
New Shortcut Menu.
The new shortcut menu (named ShortcutMenu1) is placed at the
bottom of the Menus tree.
c Do one of the following:
■ Enter a new name over the default name ShortcutMenu1.
■ Right-click ShortcutMenu1. Click Rename. Enter a new shortcut
menu name.
■ Click ShortcutMenu1, wait, and click again over the shortcut
menu’s name to edit its name in-place.
