Inserting with custom menus

Inserting with custom menus

Inserting with custom menus

(OP)
I used a custom menu in R14 which allowed me to insert my title block easily.  Now with 2000,the insert command in the menu brings up the "insert" dialog box which waits for input. This totally defeats the purpose of the menu as the block location,insertion point etc.were coded into the it. Is there any way to recode this menu to get around the dialog box?

Thanks in advance for any tips.

RE: Inserting with custom menus

You have two (maybe more options)

1. replace "insert" with "-insert"
the "-" will suppress the dialog box

2. <filedia> = 0 (will suppress)
   <filedia> = 1 (won't suppress)

I prefer 1.

hope this helps

OZZY84,

I tried both of your options. Filedia<0> suppresses the file dialog box which I didn't want but the "-insert" worked great and I still have access to the insert dialog box for blocks stored elsewhere.  Fantastic! And thanks for the quick response.
