I have a quick question regarding the two attached files. I have a
"Buffalo" menu with a menuitem "holes" with the heading "Buffalo Hole
Inserts".
I am attempting to automatically load this menu (in it's absence) using the
acad.lsp with the menuitem "holes" in the P11 position. What am I doing
wrong?
Thanks in advance.
BTW the menu loads but the pulldown doesn't appear. If I load the menu
manually the pulldown appears in the last position.

I'm taking a guess,...

maybe the acad.lsp loads the menu groups before AutoCAD loads it's main menu so it gets "overwritten". If you load the menus from a s::startup operation you may get around this. or maybe I'm off track. Smile

Rather than use lisp, you could just use the menuload command, browse to the
mns file and it will load. It will then be saved with the current profile
(options) and will load with every session.

A friend found the problem for me.
The proper command for menucmd was "P11=+buffalo.holes" not
"P11=+holes.buffalo"
In order to avoid the confusion I've renamed the menu item from holes to
buffalo.
Now my menucmd is "P11=+buffalo.buffalo"
Thanks for your help.
