Claus Mueller

Hello,
how can I establish an User defined Context-Menue as a Standard Default?
thanks

Pull down Tools > Customize.
Select the Menus tab.
Open the Context Menus folder.
Edit the contents of the Command, Default, and Edit menus.

The Default context menu is used when no entities are selected.
The Edit context menu is used when there is a selection set but no command is active.
The Command context menu is used when a command is active.

It's best to do all that in your own custom CUI file, so that it won't be overwritten when you install a newer version of Bricscad:
Create an empty CUI file as the "main" CUI file.
Load "default.cui" as a "partial" CUI file attached to that. It will appear in the Customize window as "BRICSCAD."
Then load your custom CUI file as another "partial" CUI file.
The context menus defined in the last CUI file take precedence over those defined in CUI files loaded earlier.
When you install a newer version of Bricscad, the newer version of "default.cui" will replace the older one, but nothing else will change.
