Custom Menu help

[ohiocad]

Made a little progress to finding out what's wrong, but hit a wall. Our company menu used to be combined with the standard AutoCAD LT menu, but since we've gone to 2000, I've taken on the task of separating the two, so that it is easier to make mods when we change something, like upgrading from 97 to 2000. Have everything working, except our image menus. (We use them to insert blocks, it's easier to pick the one that we want with a visal representation.) Problem is this: If I load just our menu, the "Symbol" library works just fine, slides show up, and insertion is correct. If, however, I load the standard ACLT menu, then load our menu as a partial, when I go to the "symbol" image box to pick the block, the slides don't show up, and the box title is gibberish. Any clues as to what is happening, and is there a way to stop it without changing the standard AutoCAD menu?

Ok ohiocad
let me get this straight
simply this is the situation
you have the standard acadlt 2000 menu and one you have created am i right so far
so first ? How did you create it did you take the acad mns/mnu and revamp it to your needs removing the stuff you didnt need to be able to load it as a seperate menu or did you just create this out of the blue and create a simple text file and load it and start creating toolbars and then go in and modify the menu file that way so let me know which way you did it K if everyone helps everybody the world will be a better place

We took the Acad standard menu, and modified some commands, as well as adding new ones, including toolbars and image menus, then subtracted everything else that we didn't change or add. I DID find my problem, and it was just an oversight on my part. When we had everything in one menu, that was where it looked. When I created the partial menu, I forgot to update the symbol library callout locations. So, when the image box was opened, it looked back to the main menu for the slide libraries, not our new partial menu. The portion that I was missing: was for the slide library callout

I had
[symbols] $I=symbols $I=*;
when I needed
[symbols] $I=custommenu.symbols $I=*;

It works just fine now, I just wasn't paying enough attention.
