REMOVING "COPY HISTORY " FROM RIGHT CLICK OPTIONS 1

[DISH]

DOES ANYONE OUT THERE KNOW HOW TO REMOVE THIS OPTION?
OCCASIONALLY I ACCIDENTLY SELECT IT WHEN I AM ON MY COMMAND LINE INSTEAD OF JUST "COPY" AND THEN WHEN I GO TO PASTE SOMETHING INTO THE COMMAND LINE IT SPEWS OUT A LIST OF THE THE LAST HOURS COMMANDS. i HAVE NOT NEEDED COPY HISTORY YET AND REALLY WOULD LIKE IT TO BE REMOVED FROM ANY LISTS THAT COME UP.

I believe this is in your ACAD.mnu.

I would first copy ... ANY & ALL FILES related to this ...
If you're not sure just copy the ACAD folder to another drive.

Now ...
Make AutoCAD is closed.
Open ACAD.mnc in Notepad.
Go into it and delete any reference to "ctrl+h".
Then save it and open AutoCAD.

I believe that's it!
I'm not sure but you do this at your own risk ...

Hope that helps.

Previous posting is ok, but you might want to take a look at a reply I posted to the "MIDDLE BUTTON MEaNU" question above on the questions postings list. You my want to check out pop501. Good luck.

I believe that the popup window that you want to change cannot be changed. Is it the one when you right clic in the command window? If so then the answer is no. That window is not managed by the .mnc or .mnu files.

My advice if you require the copy command often is to do one of the following

1. Simply left hand type cp <enter> or <spacebar>, or if that is one too many letters then modify the .pgp file to c <spacebar> and replace the current default setting of c as circle to ci,

2. If you prefer buttons then simply use the appropiate toolbar or customize them to suit your needs. Just right clic on any toolbar then choose customization.

3. modify the .mnc file not the .mnu file as this will overwrite any prior toolbar customizations, so the middle button has copy on it's popup if you use a verb/noun method(can't remember off the top of my head if that is pop501)

4. modify the .mnc file so the middle button which now behaves as osnap has copy on it's popup if you use a noun/verb method

good luck

p.s. if you do want to tweak your machine my recommendation is to first back-up all files you want to modify to a seperate safety folder, then only do one change at a time, test, if ok - move on, if not you will know exactly what to change back.
