Here's a way to do it entirely thru VBA code. Put the following code into its own code module, and run the "Menu main" command. It creates a new, top level menu, and 4 sub menus. You'll want to change the name of the Main menu ("My&Menu"), the name(s) of the Sub menus("My&SubMenu"), and the...

The reason version 12 dxf's usually work, when newer versions don't, is that after v12, some acad entities were renamed: polylines became LightweightPolylines, or 3dPolylines, and software written to look for just "Polyline" wont find them. If you cant export to version 12, then try exploding...
