The MENULOAD command displays the Menu Customization dialog box, in which you can add partial menu files to an existing base menu file, such as aclt.mnu. Each menu file (base and partial) has an associated menu group name. From each menu group, you can access each pull-down menu that resides in the associated menu file.

After you load the partial menus, you can customize the AutoCAD LT menu bar by adding or deleting pull-down menus.
