How Do I Reset Menu Items?
(OP)
Hello All,
I have made a small mistake when editing my menus. I accidently deleted the "Customize..." out of the "Tools" menu. How do I get that back in there?
I have a bad feeling I might have to do a re-install.
Please help!!

Click on Customize > Menu
Highlight Tools under Categories section
Scroll down thru Commands section & select Customize (if you can) & then Add > OK.
If it is not available, make sure &Tools is selected in the Change what menu box
Select Auto in the Poistion in menu box
Try typing Customi&ze... in the Name of command box, then OK
RE: How Do I Reset Menu Items?
In the Tools dropdown menu is the Customize menu available? if it is, select it, then "tick" Customize
How did you delete/remove the Customize in the first place?
RE: How Do I Reset Menu Items?
That did the trick.....

When I tried it I was in the part level.
For some reason when I open my drawing templates the "Tools-Customize.." is not there.
I think I am going to do a re-install. and just be more careful when editing the menu items.

I cannot turn it back on in my template because i cannot gain acess to the menu to do it.
When I deleted it off the "Tools" menu it also deleted it off the RMB menu "Cutomize.."
I am not sure what else to do.
Maybe I can use copy settings wizard to copy someone else's settings onto mine. Any Ideas??

RE: How Do I Reset Menu Items?
I cannot belive that there is no backdoor to get to the "Tools- Customize.." dialog box.
I guess i will have to live with it for the time being.

RE: How Do I Reset Menu Items?
When you RMB on a toolbar & the drop down menu appears ... is there a double chevron at the bottom?
If so click on it to reveal the Customize & Customize menu
Also when or if you regain access, read the Customize,menus in the Help-Index file to find out how to reset the menus to the system default.
For both the above, I believe each template (prtdot, drwdot & asmdot)will have to be reset.
RE: How Do I Reset Menu Items?
You can't remove "Customize Menu" from the bottom of any of the drop down menus.

RE: How Do I Reset Menu Items?
What I would like to do is to do a Clean install(meaning completly remove all files associated with solidworks off my system and re-install like it was the first time)
Does anyone have proper steps to follow to accomplish this task?

RE: How Do I Reset Menu Items?
But,
If you want to go further in your Registry, your on your own. You can do a search in your registry for solidworks. It's up to you but you can delete those entries, but it that is a use at your own risk. Because if you remove the worng key then you be replacing your OS.

RE: How Do I Reset Menu Items?
I have learned a valuable lesson:
Be very careful when editing menu items.
If you are not careful and delete a menu item that is needed alot you will be forced to re-install your solidworks to get them back.
P.S. Scott the files should be on there way but I have managed to fix the problem by doing a clean install per your suggestions.
Thanks again!

RE: How Do I Reset Menu Items?
There are two customize commands in the tool menu, Customize... and Customize Menu. You did say you deleted cutomize...? I tried and can't, nice one.
RE: How Do I Reset Menu Items?
However if you would like to try: go to "customize..."
1. Select the Menus tab
2. Select Tools from the Catagories window
3. Go to where it says "Position on Menu"
4. Scroll down till you find "Customi&ze..."
5. Now click on REMOVE and then select OK.
**I DO NOT RECOMMEND THAT YOU DO THIS UNLESS YOU WOULD LIKE TO DO A CLEAN RE-INSTALL**
Lesson Learned from all this: Don't mess with menu commands unless you are absolutely sure you know what you are doing.
