Proctor Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 Hello: I recently purchased cad mech 09 and have been working in it, when all of a sudden, I noticed that the menu bar was gone. I've tried right clicking everywhere I can and can't find how to make it return. any ideas? I'm so frustrated. thanks, Proctor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReMark Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 Have you tried MENUBAR=1? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Proctor Posted January 23, 2009 Author Share Posted January 23, 2009 ReMark - thank you so much for your help. well, i just entered menubar like you said...and it did help. now, I see File Window and Help; but I need to see other menus I use to see....at least I thought they were in the menu...like the one where you go to dimension - annotative (i think it's called)? i also can't see the layout manager. is there another command I can enter? thank you again for taking the time to help me. proctor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReMark Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 I have plain vanilla AC 2009 open at the moment. If I change the MENUBAR variable from its default of to I see twelve pull-down menus near the top of my screen. You're not seeing something similar?

Proctor Posted January 23, 2009 Author Share Posted January 23, 2009 No, I set it to 1 and then I was finally able to see File, Windows and Help...but nothing else. I wonder what gives? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReMark Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 Type MENULOAD at the command line and hit Enter. What, if anything, appears on your screen? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Proctor Posted January 23, 2009 Author Share Posted January 23, 2009 here's what I get when i type menuload and hit enter (see atttachment). also, I noticed that all of a sudden, if i open a drawing and try to get properties by right clicking on an object, I don't get the properties menu anymore. bad day...for sure.

ReMark Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 You could try the Repair option found on the installation disk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Proctor Posted January 23, 2009 Author Share Posted January 23, 2009 I think I will give that a try. Thanks again for your help and your time. I'll let you know if it works or not. Proctor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flowerrobot Posted January 24, 2009 Share Posted January 24, 2009 Your not talking about "tool bars" or the "ribbion" are you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Proctor Posted January 26, 2009 Author Share Posted January 26, 2009 flowerrobot: thanks for your reply; actually, both are gone. the only thing now on my menu is: File, Window and Help. I'm going to try to do a repair this morning, so I'll see if that helps. Proctor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
