HiHo;
Go to AutoCad Help and search
for "menu". It is explained very well.

In R14, the sequence is:

What makes pressing F1 any more difficult than posting a question here?
If you're using R14, see the other replies. If you're using 2000 or later, you can use (setenv "ScreenMenu" (itoa (- 1 (atoi (getenv "ScreenMenu"))))) to toggle the screen menu on and off.
If you're using a custom menu, though, remember that you need to include a ***SCREEN section in your menu source (*.mnu) file. ___

Thanks for the reply, I am already using (setenv "ScreenMenu" (itoa (- 1
(atoi (getenv "ScreenMenu")))))
to toggle on & off.
I have custom menu with a ***SCREEN section but what I couldn't find in F1
was how to display my
screen menu and not acads.

I guess I don't understand your problem, then. AutoCAD will access the
***SCREEN section of whatever menu is currently loaded. If you're using
MYMENU.MNC, it simply can't be displaying the menus from ACAD.MNC.
If you're referring to having it automatically jump to the specific section of the ***SCREEN menu you currently need, you have to create appropriate subsections (i.e., the LINE command will display the **LINE subsection of the ***SCREEN menu). ___

SORTED
unload acad.mnc
load mymenu.mnc (with menuload)
reload acad.mnc
the screen menu in mymenu will be the dominant one
