Custom menus  and re-setting the default menu

It is possible to create you own 'drop down' menus in IntelliCAD. These 'custom' menus can make CAD work highly productive.  IntelliCAD offers a very easy mechanism for creating, saving and exporting custom menus. If you select Tools>Customize a dialog box appears as shown below. The first tab in this box provides a convenient set of tools for editing menus.

The button on the extreme right is used to re-set the default menus if you have lost them. This can happens when you accept a drawing from an outside source.

Modifying the menu

Once the menu is complete and working well, the export feature enables you to export an ICAD.icm file which can then be loaded into any copy of IntelliCAD. This beats editing the ACAD.MNU file with a text editor, the accepted way of creating custom menus in AutoCAD.

the use of custom menus allows engineering and architectural companies report significant increases in productivity. The figure below shows an architectural menu.
