Custom Menus

Menus used to execute customized HWC scripts can be loaded from a customized preference file, preference.mvw. From the File menu, select Load > Preference File to display the Preferences dialog. From this dialog, register and load the preference.mvw file.

The *MenuItem() command supports this, with HWC as a new file type. An example file is shown below:
*Id("HyperWorks", "20.")
 *BeginDefaults()
     *BeginGraphicDefaults()
         *BeginMenu(dummy, "Demo")
              *MenuItem(dummy, "Demo HWC", HWC, "c:/…./demo_script.hwc")
        *EndMenu()
    *EndGraphicDefaults()
*EndDefaults()

The menu item is displayed in the menu bar:
