The syntax for the swapping of partial menus is as follows:
$section=customizationgroup.menuname
section
B1-4, A1-4, P0-16, T1-4
customizationgroup
Customization group name in the desired CUIx file
menuname
Main label or alias
You can use the AutoLISP menucmd function to insert or remove a pull-down
menu. The syntax is similar to that used to swap pull-down menus except
that the left side of the assignment is the pull-down menu before which the
new menu will be inserted. The right side of the assignment is a plus sign (+)
followed by the name of the menu group, a period, and the menu's alias, as
shown in the following syntax:
(menucmd "customizationgroup1.menuname1=+customizationgroup2.menun
ame2")
You can also insert a menu with the Pn= syntax. The following macro inserts
a menu after the P5 menu.
(menucmd "P5=+mymenu.new3")
$P5=+mymenu.new3
If you use this method to insert a menu, remember that you cannot rely on
its being inserted at the P6 menu location as you might expect. There are two
reasons that this may not be the case.
■ If the current menu bar has only three menus, inserting a menu after menu
P5 results in the new menu's location being P4.
■ If the user inserts or removes a customization file with the CUILOAD
command or when another application inserts or removes customization
files, menu numbering can get out of sync.
