All of a sudden all of my custom shortcuts that I've been using for years in the dcadwin.mnu file that use the [Alt] key stopped working. I pulled up the file and they were all gone, but the ones using the [Ctrl] key still work. I changed a few back, saved the .mnu file then rebooted, but they still don't work. Any suggestions to get them back? I've been using them so long I've forgotten where a lot of the things I need are on the menus.

The ones I use the most are [Alt+C] to get to the Change menu and [Alt+G] to get to the Geometry menu in case anyone knows if something else might have taken over those keystrokes.

Thanks!

Does the DcadWin.MCR exist? It should be in the DataCAD / Support Files folder.

Okay, that's good. Has the computer been rebooted lately? What version of Windows are you running? Where is DataCAD installed on the hard drive?

the Alt-C shortcuts are in the DcadWin.mcr file
The File Dcadwin.mnu has shortcuts for the Menu and can be in the form Ctrl-Alt-C, Ctrl-Shift-C

In the .mcr file, for Alt-C, you should have a line
C^;^F0^
For Alt-G, the line would look similar to (I modified my to Divide into 2 spaces)
G^:^F6^F1^f1^2$^

They are made up of the F-Key Sequence separated by a caret "^".

It might be a permissions issue: Right-Click on the DataCAD icon and select Run As Administrator, and see if that helps.
