Customizing menus

If you always do the same types of work, or more importantly, never do certain types of work, you

might consider customizing some menus to remove items that you never use. Customization

applies to both the main drop-down menus and the context-sensitive RMB menus. To customize a

menu, follow these steps:

1. Choose Insert ➪ Customize Menu. Note that Customize Menu is different from
   Customize.


2. Deselect the menu items Sketch from Drawing, DXF/DWG, Object, Hyperlink, and
   Picture (see Figure 2.45). Click anywhere outside the list to close it.


3. Click on the Insert menu to ensure that the deselected items have been removed.


4. RMB-click the Right plane in the FeatureManager.
