Create a Shortcut Menu

Shortcut menus are displayed at or near the location of your cursor when you

right-click on the pointing device. The shortcut menu and the options it

provides depend on the location of the cursor and other conditions, such as

whether an object is selected or a command is in progress.

Context-sensitive shortcut menus display menu options that are relative to the

current command or the selected object when you right-click.

Shortcut Menu Aliases

Shortcut menus are referenced by their aliases and are used in specific

situations. In the Customize User Interface (CUI) Editor, the alias names must

follow the proper naming conventions. For example, the shortcut menu named

“Default Menu” displays the following information in the Aliases section of

the Properties pane:

POP501, CMDEFAULT

CMDEFAULT is one of the reserved aliases that the program looks for in specific

situations. In this case, the shortcut menu assigned the alias CMDEFAULT is

displayed if no objects are selected and no command is in progress when you

right-click over the drawing window.

Aliases for context-sensitive shortcut menus must be numbered between

POP500 and POP999, with the exception of the Object Snap menu which uses

an alias of POP0. The following aliases are reserved for use by the program:
