Dj_T_Rex2002 Posted December 6, 2016 Posted December 6, 2016 Hi, I would like to know if there is a macro for Shortcut Menu? I would like to modify Button 3 (Transparent Orbit as of now) to be my Shortcut Menu. I use Mouse 2 as my Enter button so it is unchecked in the User Preferences. Thanks in advance. Quote
Dadgad Posted December 7, 2016 Posted December 7, 2016 If you are unfamiliar with it, you might want to check out time-sensitive right-click. It enables you to combine the ENTER command, and or, access the Shortcut menu easily on the fly. Quote
Dj_T_Rex2002 Posted December 7, 2016 Author Posted December 7, 2016 Over the years I got used to using the right click button for ENTER. But I would like to modify the CUI to see if I can modify the Mouse Buttons>Button 3 to be the Shortcut menus like when you Right click a wall and it gives you the options to Edit wall style, or Edit object display, etc. ... I tried to attach a picture here but it won't let me do it Quote

I did what you showed in the pic but it only drags the object rather than displaying the menu Quote
tombu Posted December 29, 2016 Posted December 29, 2016 I did what you showed in the pic but it only drags the object rather than displaying the menu Quick click for Enter and slightly longer click for the menu. You can set the delay in milliseconds. Don't drag the mouse! They added it as a feature to move objects, but not many care for it. Quote

Dj_T_Rex2002 Posted December 30, 2016 Author Posted December 30, 2016 Ok what I am trying to do is bring the object selected right click option. If you set the "Right-Click Customization" to Shortcut Menu on all, then select a wall and right click it bring an option to be able to modify that wall. That's why I said that it drags cause I select the object and then hold right click and does nothing. I want to bring that object's menu ... wish I could insert a picture but every time I hit the "upload file" it doesn't do it Quote

You can add Shortcut Menus, but they are for an AutoCAD object like Line, Arc, or LWPline. There are also Shortcut Menus for multiples of the same object as well since many options for multiple objects are different than you have for a single one. Is the "wall" you mentioned a line, polyline or some other object? Quote
Dj_T_Rex2002 Posted December 30, 2016 Author Posted December 30, 2016 I use AutoCAD Architecture 2015 so it's a wall... I guess it's a 3D wall Quote
tombu Posted December 30, 2016 Posted December 30, 2016 I use AutoCAD Architecture 2015 so it's a wall... I guess it's a 3D wall Shortcut Menus are for AutoCAD objects only, not intelligent objects. Haven't used that software, but shouldn't there be a "Contextual Tab State" set up to handle that? Quote
Dadgad Posted December 31, 2016 Posted December 31, 2016 I use AutoCAD Architecture 2015 so it's a wall... I guess it's a 3D wall It would be helpful, if you could change the software in your Profile, to USING Autocad Architecture 2015. Quote
