To Add a Link to a Custom Icon Menu

You can set up AutoCAD Electrical's icon menuing system so that you can switch back and forth from the default menu file (such as ACE_JIC_menu.dat) to your own menu (for example "special_menu.dat").

1. Open the icon menu with a simple text editor.
2. Add a line like this to menu .DAT file:

   Special menu|special_menu.sld|$C=(c:wd_loadmenu "{menu name}.dat")(c:wd_insym_go2menu 0)

3. In your new {menu name}.dat file, add this line so you can switch back to AutoCAD Electrical's default menu:

   Default Electrical menu|back2wd.sld|$C=(c:wd_loadmenu "ACE_{standard}_menu.dat")(c:wd_insym_go2menu 0)

4. In AutoCAD Electrical's default icon menu, select the new entry.

   Your menu immediately appears. When you want to go back to AutoCAD Electrical's default menu, select Default Electrical menu on your own special menu. AutoCAD Electrical immediately switches back to the AutoCAD Electrical default icon menus.
