Insert->Advanced->Pipe - set default to spline?

Hi Jakub...

Yep, this is quite true. Back before Wildfire, we used the menu_def.pro file to set the default settings for the old menu manager cascading menus. I'll have to look around and dig up an old file to check the format. I'm sure we can find one online if we just search menu_def.pro

Nice job pulling out the old school trivial knowledge!

Hi Kris...

Don't bother with the menu_def.pro. I already tried making the file and getting it to work- and it doesn't. You cannot reset the default for a menu that already has one... and this Connect Type menu already has one (Single Rad). You also can't set default for a compound menu... and Connect Type is compound. Therefore, you cannot override it due to these restrictions.

Waaaaay back in ancient history you could find text files for each menu set and tweak them. I don't think this was ever endorsed or mentioned as a formal possibility. But those days are long gone. I think you'd just stuck clicking the button... or else making a mapkey to drop you into Pipe->Spline without having to pick from the menu.

Once you're able to determine the licenses you have available, I'd like to ask... why are you using this type of pipe feature? While it does work, I've found it's not the best tool for most work requiring a pipe-like feature. Do you have access to any of the routed systems modules like Piping, Cabling, etc? Just wondering!

Thanks!

That is an option.....I've made simple maypkeys before, just would have to learn how to incorporate the pauses.
