Accessing the Application Menu
To access the application menu, click
at the upper-left corner of the workspace.
The application menu remains open as long as the cursor is located inside the application menu window.
To close the application menu, either activate a menu command, or click outside of the application menu
window.
Using the Application Menu to Locate Commands
In the application menu, you can search for a command and then select it from the list of matches. Search
results are retrieved from the following locations:
■
Application menu
■
Static ribbon tabs
■
Any contextual tab currently on display
■
Quick Access toolbar
You can enter the following strings to search for:
■
Display name of the command in application menu, ribbon or Quick Access toolbar. For example, you
can enter “Style Manager” or “Plot Preview”.
■
Part of the display name: If you are not sure what the exact name is you can enter a part of the name,
for example “Style” or “Save”. This will retrieve all commands that contain that string.
■
Actual command name: You can enter the name of a command as it would be typed on the command
line, for example “aecstylemanager” or “dist.” This will retrieve all locations this command can be found
in.
IMPORTANT
When searching for AutoCAD MEP 2010 commands, you must include the Aecb prefix (for
example, aecbPipeAdd instead of PipeAdd) to the command.
In addition to instances of the search string, the results include the contents of the associated tooltip and
any search tags you have defined in the Customize User Interface editor (CUI). For information about search
tags, see “Assign Search Tags” in the AutoCAD help.
