- In
the Aliases box, click the Ellipsis button. Press ENTER so you are
on a new line in the Aliases dialog box. Enter additional aliases
for the menu, and after each one entered press ENTER. An alias is
automatically assigned, and defaults to the next available POP number,
based on the number of shortcut menus already loaded in the program.
In order for the commands on the shortcut menu to appear when an object or objects of the same type are selected, make sure to use the alias OBJECT_objecttype or OBJECTS_objecttype. For example, if you want the commands on the shortcut menu to appear when a LINE object is selected in the drawing use the alias OBJECT_LINE. The commands from the shortcut menu will appear near the top of the shortcut menu with the alias CMEDIT when it is displayed.
NoteIf you create a shortcut menu with the alias OBJECTS_objecttype, the commands assigned to the shortcut menu will be displayed when one or more objects are selected before right-clicking over the drawing area.
- In
the Command List pane, drag the command you want to add to the location
just below the shortcut menu in the Customizations In <file name> pane.
- Continue adding commands until the new shortcut menu is complete.
