Turning off smart menus
(OP)
Can I turn off smart menus in SolidWorks? Not just from the menu bar, but also in the right click short cut menus?
Just a little annoyed today. Thanks for your help. Diego

RE: Turning off smart menus
We recently moved to new servers, and wound up reinstalling SW and other software where there were glitches. I lost a number of customizations which didn't carry over with the settings wizard file I'd made.
Thanks for your help. Kind regards, Diego
RE: Turning off smart menus
Save yourself from lost settings and start using the Copy Settings Wizard
I hate having this command as deep as it's placed in the Start menu So I usually put it with the rest of the tools I normally use under the SolidWorks 2YYY folder
Start > All Programs > SolidWorks 2YYY > SolidWorks 2YYY SP#.# > SolidWorks Tools > Copy Settings Wizard
It's recommended to Save your system options as one file and your Shortcut and menu customizations in a separate one. If you happen to use someone elses computer at the same company you can load your shortcut and icon layouts use SolidWorks and restore their settings if you want to be courteous.
The files can be saved as .sldreg SolidWorks registry settings which when double clicked launch the Restore Settings option of the Copy Wizard or it can be renamed .reg to double click and immediately write settings to the registry.
