What is an MNR file?

MNR files mostly belong to AutoCAD. The MNR file is a menu file used by AutoCAD, storing the command definitions that build the application's menu system.
This file contains plain text commands that AutoCAD reads during startup to load custom menus. It allows advanced users to modify menu items and streamline their workflow.
Key details summarized by FilExt.com include:
  • Editable Format: Being a text file, it is accessible with any simple text editor.
  • Customizable: Users can hand-edit commands to suit specific needs.
  • Integral to AutoCAD’s configuration, it determines quick access to functions.
  • FilExt.com note: Always back up your MNR file before making changes to avoid misconfiguration.

    How to open MNR files

    You need a suitable software like AutoCAD to open an MNR file. Without proper software you will receive a Windows message "How do you want to open this file?" or "Windows cannot open this file" or a similar Mac/iPhone/Android alert. If you cannot open your MNR file correctly, try to right-click or long-press the file. Then click "Open with" and choose an application. You can also display a MNR file directly in the browser:. Just drag the file onto this browser window and drop it.
