How BricsCAD Customizes Menus
The menu bar and its menus are customized in BricsCAD through the Customize dialog box’s Menu
tab. This is where you add, edit, and remove items to and from menus.
Most actions are performed through shortcut menus, like the one shown below. To do so, move the
cursor into the Customize dialog box, right-click an existing menu item, and then choose an option
from the shortcut menu that appears.
