Steve, Unfortunately in your case you just cant do what you want to do. The "User Event" tool, is hard coded in the first position of the User Elmts toolbox and cannot be moved.
F.Y.I. You can customize the remaining contents of the User Element and other toolboxes using the Visual Customization Toolkit (Visual CTK)provided free with version 11. The toolkit must be installed using the v11 CD if you haven't already installed it. While the Visual CTK has no built in provision to change the order of the menu picks, this can be done when it is used in conjunction with Edit Plus or any other text editor. Once the Visual CTK is installed, you must use it to open the Panel Configuration Binary (PCB) file for the desired tool box. For example the default PCB file for the User Element tool box in Pmill is "C:\SM9\SHARED\USRELM11.PCB". You should make a backup copy of the file before proceeding. Once open you must save the tool box using "File - Save As..." and set the File Type to "Pcs Files (*.pcs)" which stands for Panel Configuration Script. The PCS file is a plain ASCII text file that can be edited with Edit Plus or any other ASCII text editor. The default contents of the User Element toolbox PCS file are as follows (you may note that "User Event" is not listed): PANEL "Rectangle" "sysmcl\rect.mcl" UNDO "Create a rectangle" 3510 3520 3 COORD2D "Rectangle Corner:" 25 1 #XS2 #YS2 ZLEVEL "Level:" 52 1 #LV DISTANCE "Length:" 25 2 #D1 DISTANCE "Width:" 52 2 #D2 ANGLE "Angle:" 25 3 #AN RADIUS "Corner Radius:" 52 3 #RA PANEL "Polygon" "sysmcl\poly.mcl" UNDO "Create a polygon" 3530 3540 2 COORD2D "Polygon Center:" 25 1 #XS2 #YS2 ZLEVEL "Level:" 52 1 #LV DISTANCE "Inscribed Circle Dia:" 25 2 #DS INTEGER "Number of Sides:" 52 2 #N1 The start of each tool definition section in the tool box is identified by the keyword PANEL. The order in which these sections occur in the PCS file defines the order they will appear in the finished toolbox. By using the cut and paste functions of the text editor you can change the order of the sections. Save the PCS file after you have finished your edits. You will then need to re-load the modified PCS file into the Visual CTK. Once loaded you must re-save the toolbox in a binary format using "File - Save As..." and set the File Type to "Pcb Files (*.pcb)" over writing the original file. The changes will become active the next time Pmill is started. � Using a text editor in conjunction with the Visual CTK to edit PCS files allows the user to easily manipulate the sequence of panels in toolboxes and clone existing panels when creating similar panels with a uniform appearance. ============================================= Fred Lauzus, CAM Programming Coordinator High Steel Structures, Incorporated mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.highsteel.com ============================================= -----Original Message----- From: Steve Buck [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, November 08, 2000 3:54 PM To: SmartCam user Group Subject: [mfg-smartcam] User Element Menu Option I would like to change the verticle order of my User Element Menu Option.
