how to customize function and control menus

[gwd]

I am making the painful transition from 7.1 to 8.6. How can I customize the function and control menus, and have them always come up the same way on a right-click?

Otherwise it takes several clicks to display the useful items, wasting time and effort.

Define 'same way' and 'useful items'. Have you read the instructions on the Tools>Options>Controls/Functions Palettes screen?

Dennis,

It looks like this was never continued, but I have the same querstion. It seems like now when I right click up the menu I get what you see in the Not Very Useful Menu jpeg, and I have to clcik 3 more times to get to the More Useful Menu.

Can this be changed by some option setting? I haven't found it and I wish I could.

Why not start learning quick drop? Instead of dealing with palettes at all.

It's a bit of talk to myself...

Besides what I said about the options, right click to get the functions palette, pin it down, the click on the 'View' button. You have some more selections there.

OK, that's better, thanks
