Prompt Menus

Bricscad commands often provide several options. These options appear in the status bar or command bar and also in a prompt menu, which initially displays in the top right corner of the screen. Choose the appropriate option by clicking in the prompt menu.

Whether a prompt menu displays and its location is controlled through the PROMPTMENU settings variable.

Value	Description
0	No prompt menus
1	Display prompt menu at user defined location (*)
2	Display prompt menu at top left corner
3	Display prompt menu at top right corner
4	Display prompt menu at bottom left corner

(*) You can move the prompt menu by dragging it; future prompt menus will appear where you last placed it.
