The display of menus can be customized, including whether prompt menus and right-click shortcut menus display, whether menus load automatically, and the number of drawing files that display on the File menu.
To set how menus display

):
• On the ribbon, choose the Application button then choose Options, or choose Tools > Options (in Manage).
• On the menu, choose Tools > Options.
• Type options and then press Enter.
2 Click the Display tab.
3 Mark the Display Grip Menus check box if you want grip menus to display when the mouse pauses over a grip that has an associated menu. For example, polyline grips have a menu.

8 In Prompt Boxes Transparency, enter the percentage of transparency to apply to prompt boxes when they display.
9 When you have finished, click OK.
