How do I change context-sensitive right-click menus?

[billtheia]

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.

Use the Workspace Editor (Tools > Workspaces > Workspace Editor. Create a copy of the current workspace. You can change your menus there.

I know that part. The context-sesitive part doesn't show up there so I can't edit it.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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?

Right, it looks like the special items are always placed between Edit & Properties. Weird.

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.
