V7
Just installed and spent today using V7 and it's very nice.One thing though, my customised menu would not load "not a valid Icad menu..." until I looked here and found you have to chop the file extension off when selecting. However a couple of older versions of my menu worked without this step - why would that be?Another hiccup is; (osnap (getpoint) "midp") in lisps did not always work in V6, now no snap works in a lisp when called this way. Spent some time changing them to just set osnap, but it's a small problem.

John, Concerning the menus we don't have an explanation at the moment. Menu loading works without chopping off the extension. Maybe if you send us the specific menu - plus how you load it - we can try to reproduce the issue.The problem with (osnap (getpoint) "midp") is odd. I find no problem with it here. The function 'getpoint' will use the current snap setting, and the visual feedback for that snap will be shown. Then midpoint snap is applied to that result. Occasionally this can give surprising results if OSMODE is not 0 (imagine (osnap (getpoint) "nea") to a circle when center snap is on), but that is the design.Please clarify how it fails. Is there a failure because no point was returned, or a point is returned but no snap operation was applied to it? Or (osnap (getpoint) "midp") works on the commandline, but not from some function or menu?Can you point us in the right direction?regards, Alexander Van Heuverzwyn, Bricscad

I will send the menu/s and also my .ick file which gives no message but doesn't actually replace the standard when loaded. I click on an empty part of the toolbar area, Customise, import, menus, select... makes no difference if append is selected or not. All the toolbars disappear when the menu load fails and have to be set up again.(osnap (getpoint)"xxx") works on the command line for me too, but not in any of my lisps (I have changed them to (command "osnap" "xxx") now). Occasionally it picks a point away from the one picked, but usually it just stops the routines from finishing.Great that mtext does not disappear when copied any more
