Those of you who have set the option to use the third button/wheel as the cursor menu may have noticed that you get the condensed AutoCAD cursor menu, not the expanded HydraCAD cursor menu. Somewhere along the line
AutoCAD 'broke' the way cursor menus are supposed to load, with the
result being that AutoCAD's takes precedence unless you redirect it.
First of all, two things
A. Pick HydraTools->Options-> to set your wheel to your desired behavior using one of the last two items
B. The HydraCAD cursor menu can always be displayed by holding down the SHIFT button and Right-Clicking your mouse.
To get the HydraCAD Cursor menu when you press the wheel, you need to modify the CUI. So:
1. Type in CUI and press Enter
2. Locate the HCAD Shift+Click Button 2 entry as seen below
3. Highlight the Macro code and right-click to pick Copy
4. Now, slide down and locate the ACAD Partial CUI File entry for Click Button 3 as seen below
5. Highlight the Macro code and right-click to pick Paste
6. Pick OK to finalize your changes
This customization will stick around 'forever' unless you reinstall AutoCAD.
