NOTE You can have an unlimited number of icons on each menu page. Prior to
AutoCAD Electrical 2008, you were limited to 24 icons per page.
Icon menu's page structure
Each menu page starts with a menu number line preceded by two asterisks
(**). The next line is an AutoCAD Electrical code, which defines the menu
page format (such as how many rows, how many icon buttons per row). This
is used for .dat files that are used prior to AutoCAD Electrical 2008. The next
line is the title, with optional column labels, for the menu page. The rest of
the lines define the information for each icon button on the menu page. These
icons can either launch a command, insert a component or open a submenu.
Menu number **M0
Main menu title. In the Insert Component dialog
box, this is the main menu title in the Menu tree JIC Symbols
selection view and is also displayed above the
Symbol Preview window of the dialog box.
