billtheia Posted September 5, 2011 Share Posted September 5, 2011 Can someone out there tell me how I change the context-sensitive right-click menus? Different ones come up when right-clicking on a symbol, door, etc. I'd like to change where they show up in the list. See attached screen shot. Thanks. Quote Link to comment
Vectorworks, Inc Employee Tamsin Slatter Posted September 5, 2011 Vectorworks, Inc Employee Share Posted September 5, 2011 Use the Workspace Editor (Tools > Workspaces > Workspace Editor. Create a copy of the current workspace. You can change your menus there. Quote Link to comment
billtheia Posted September 5, 2011 Author Share Posted September 5, 2011 I know that part. The context-sesitive part doesn't show up there so I can't edit it. Quote Link to comment
Vectorworks, Inc Employee Tamsin Slatter Posted September 5, 2011 Vectorworks, Inc Employee Share Posted September 5, 2011 CLick the Menus tab. On the right hand pane, you will see a list of all the menus in your workspace. At the bottom of the list you will see Document Context (that's a right click on the drawing area) and Object Context. That's a right click on an object. Hope that helps! Quote Link to comment
billtheia Posted September 6, 2011 Author Share Posted September 6, 2011 Right. But I don't see the context-sensitive stuff there. Just the "base" right-click list. I don't see the list that shows up when you right-click on a symbol, for example. Quote Link to comment
michaelk Posted September 6, 2011 Share Posted September 6, 2011 In the workspace editor dialog box it's under Menus Object Context is for right clicking on an object Document Context is for right clicking on an empty space. hth mk Quote Link to comment
billtheia Posted September 7, 2011 Author Share Posted September 7, 2011 Right. I get that. If you look at the behavior of the Object Context menu, you'll see that you get one list for most things (like lines & polygons) but additional items appear in that list when you right-click on a symbol, wall, or other "special" object. I'm trying to modify those special menus. Look more closely at my original attachment above. Quote Link to comment
michaelk Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 Sorry, I didn't fully understand your question. Which is an interesting one. I tried doing moving Edit up to the top of the list and that moved only the Edit command up, but nothing else. Moving Properties up moved up all the symbol contextual commands Who'd have thunk? mk Quote Link to comment
billtheia Posted September 7, 2011 Author Share Posted September 7, 2011 Right, it looks like the special items are always placed between Edit & Properties. Weird. Quote Link to comment
Josh Schulman Posted February 26, 2019 Share Posted February 26, 2019 Adding a new question to this thread... How do I add a menu tool from the OIP as an Object Context right click option?I would like to add Select System Objects for Braceworks Truss as a right click option. Quote Link to comment
