You still need to create a menu for it. Try a search.

Eddy, you need to open your WE and add Special to your menu structure.
Remember to redefine/create in order to save as your default.

What is this special menu good for? Is this recommended for all users?
I started in AC10, so don't really know what this is for.

The special menu serves mainly as a parking space for developer functions and potential, partly implemented, features. It is not supported by GS and is not recommended for general use. It usually has some tools that are handy for managers, library part developers and some advanced users.

The only time I recall setting it up for standard use was when I was working with James Murray way back when it was the only way to get the 3D hatch in elevations. For people making GDL libraries it has the handy function of placing all the parts of currently loaded libraries (and there are some quirks and tricks to this).

The bottom line is if you don't know why you need it you probably don't.

Did you enable the Special menu in the Registry Editor, just as it is mentioned at the front end of the thread?
