Plaese help w/Bringing customizations from R14 to R2004

[johnal]

Hi All,

Can you tell me the simplest way to:
1. Bring my plot configurations (color = lineweight) from R14 to R2004
2. Bring all my custom toolbuttons from R14 to R2004
3. Put my custom .BMP toolbutton icons to avoid smileyfaces
4. Bring my full custom menu from R14 to R2004

Thank you in advance,
Al

1. You can still use Color based plotting in 2004 (CTB vs STB) Use the Add-A-Plot Style Table Wizard (under the file menu) the create new CTB files from older plot setting files.

2. & 4. If you were using just one menu in R14, In my experience you are better off using MENULOAD to keep your custom menus separate from the base ACAD menu. This way the default ACAD menus remain accessible at all times as well as the context (Right-click) menus.

3. If you are running R14 and 2004 side by side, you may have a problem, otherwise it should just be a matter of recompiling the menus by loading them. You may or may not have to delete the mnc etc files, and make sure the folder where they are is not read-only and your bitmap folder is included in the acad paths.
