Object Specific Shortcut Menus

The CMEDIT and CMCOMMAND shortcut menus can be made context-sensitive. In

addition to the content of the CMEDIT menu, the appropriate object menu (if

it exists) is inserted into this menu when one or more of a specific object type

are selected. Object menus use either of the following naming conventions:

OBJECT_objectname

OBJECTS_objectname

If a single object is selected, the OBJECT_objectname menu is used, and if more

than one of the same object type is selected, the OBJECTS_objectname menu

is used. If no OBJECT_objectname is available, the program uses the

OBJECTS_objectname menu (if it exists).

The object name used for the alias is the drawing interchange format (DXF™)

name of the object in most cases except for inserted objects. The following

table shows the object names that are specific to inserted objects (blocks,

dynamic blocks, and xrefs).
