Menu Update simplifies distributing updates to custom AutoCAD menus in large office settings. The program automatically checks for changes to master menu files and updates local copies as needed. It is a convenient system tray app for efficiently managing AutoCAD menus.
Trying to change the master menu file can be quite the hassle when everyone is accessing the menu files directly from a shared location because the files are locked. To avoid this issue, Menu Update suggests placing copies of the menu on each workstation, which can be easily updated without conflict.
Menu Update diligently checks for any changes to the master menu each time a user logs on, allowing workstations to be updated to the latest version. The software then conveniently sits in the tray, allowing users to request updates anytime during their logon session. For projects requiring mid-day menu changes, this feature is particularly useful.
Setting up Menu Update involves minimal effort. The software is designed to automatically detect installed versions of AutoCAD and the name of the current menu being used. Additionally, standard file extensions are added by default, and the application has the flexibility to add future file extensions as needed.
In summary, for any office running AutoCAD with a customized menu, Menu Update greatly streamlines the process of updating and distributing menu changes. It is simple to install, and once installed, it prompts a message to alert users about updates whenever they are available. Overall, Menu Update is an essential tool for any organization that spends considerable time using a custom AutoCAD menu.
