mouse customization in default.cui

pk karpi

Hello, I've just installed v11beta. And would like to probe mouse customization - i thing it is one from the most important things of this version.

When i customized configuration file Bricsys/Bricscad/V11/en_US/Support/default.cui , I've foud AUX sections:

         <MouseButtonRoot>
            <ButtonGroup UID="BG_1">
               <Alias>AUX1</Alias>
               <ButtonItem UID="BI_1_01" BlankLine="true"/>
               <ButtonItem UID="BI_1_02">
                  <MenuItem>
                     <MacroRef MenuMacroID="snap_menu"/>
                  </MenuItem>
               </ButtonItem>
            </ButtonGroup>
            <ButtonGroup UID="BG_2">
               <Alias>AUX2</Alias>
               <ButtonItem UID="BI_2_01" BlankLine="true"/>
               <ButtonItem UID="BI_2_02" BlankLine="true"/>
            </ButtonGroup>
            <ButtonGroup UID="BG_3">
               <Alias>AUX3</Alias>
               <ButtonItem UID="BI_3_01" BlankLine="true"/>
               <ButtonItem UID="BI_3_02" BlankLine="true"/>
            </ButtonGroup>
            <ButtonGroup UID="BG_4">
               <Alias>AUX4</Alias>
               <ButtonItem UID="BI_4_01" BlankLine="true"/>
               <ButtonItem UID="BI_4_02" BlankLine="true"/>
            </ButtonGroup>
         </MouseButtonRoot>

..but im not sure how to convert acad.mns section into it:

***AUX2
'_zoom w;
$P0=SNAP $p0=*

***AUX3
'_zoom p;
'_dsviewer;

***AUX4
'_pan;
'_zoom ;

Is there someone with some expirience with it, plz?

see http://forum.bricsys.com/discussion/14529 and http://forum.bricsys.com/discussion/14295 , maybe it will help.

I could not get customization of the right mouse button to work on the linux beta, didn't check yet whether the version just released makes a difference.

Thank you,

Ive just downloaded version 11.1.16, but everyting i've try, does nothing. In linux version mouse customization isn't probably implemented yet..

Customization of the middle mouse button worked as in windows with the last beta.

I am too busy for the moment to check out if there are changes, but did you try to load the partial menu from http://www.openaec.org/?q=node/364 ?

I use a customized right-button menu in V11, I had to enable the shortcut menus first, as the support department told me:

[UTC 07:42 2010-05-21] PC: The menu you are talking about is called "Default" Shortcut menu. Go to the settings dialog, type in the input
field above : shortcutmenu. This will bring you to the SHORTCUTMENU setting. Click the plus sign to open it, make sure the first checkbox is checked.
(Default mode). Then go to the customize dialog, Menus tab, and in the tree on the left browse to BRICSCAD>Shortcut Menus>default. You can edit this
menu here. Alternatively, if you have your own shortcut menu in a .mnu file, and you make sure this menu has an alias "CMDEFAULT", just load the
mnu file and you're done.

 

I then customized the right-click menu to add a whole tray of useful items:

Repeat
---
Edit Text
---
Copy
Move
Offset
Stretch
Scale
Extend
2D Rotate
2D Mirror
Fillet
2D Array
---
Copy With Base Point
Paste
Print
---
Line
Rectangle
Circle Center-Diameter
---
Trim
Break
Explode
Erase
---
Undo
Redo
---
Distance
Linear
Aligned
---
Find
Properties
Options

 

This gives me the vast majority of the commands I ever use when modifying our electrical and mechanical control panel drawings - I've found that having the right-button drop-down menu is a must-have for anyone in my department, greatly increasing drafting productivity.
