AutoCAD 2013 :: ARG And CUIX Files

Jun 12, 2013

I have a question regarding .arg & CUIX files.

1. Does the .arg file have the settings of the CUIX file? For example if I want to use a .arg file in another machine to use the same settings for both comps, will the setup be exactly the same?

2. Does the CUIX file have the settings of the .arg file ? For example if I want to use a CUIX file in another machine to use the same settings for both comps, will the setup be exactly the same?

I tried to do a copy of the existing CUIX to a NEW file for backup, but it did not copy the settings of the Quick Access Bar & other settings unless I do them individually. For example I modified the "Double Click Action" menu. But when I looked at the existing CUIX file it showed an older date when it was modified.

(AutoCad 2014)

AutoCAD 2013 :: Custom CUIX Not Reloading?

Mar 29, 2013

This is actually for R2014 but the same thing happened in 2013. I have several custom CUIX files created from loading MNU files. I use them for drop down menus and toolbars. The load fine but are not remembered the next AutoCAD is reloaded. I can't remember what I did because they work fine in 2013. I've CUILOADED them and saved the workspace. I also saved and reloaded my PROFILE. Aren't the menus saved with the workspace?

AutoCAD 2013 :: Custom CUIx Menus Won't Reload

Jun 2, 2012

This issue applies only to AuroCAD 2013 64. 2012 works fine.

I have three old custom menus I use regularly. They were all in the MNU format when they were compiled to CUIx.

Let's say menu1 has a drop down menu and toolbars. Menu2 has a dropdown menu. Menu3 has a toolbar menu. They are all located in the same folder.

If I load the three menus they work fine for the duration of the session. However, once I quit AutoCAD and restart, only Menu1 loads. I still have to load the other two again. This is annoying. I have created a Profile and a Workspace with the menus loaded and set both current. Exit and again no menus.

AutoCAD LT :: 2010 - CUIX Files Not Displaying

Apr 25, 2012

I have loaded in some cuix files in LT 2010. They have appeared in the customisation area and in the current Workspace and I have turned on the menus I require and no error is returnned, however when I go to the drawing screen none of the customised menus or ribbon tabs have appeared. I have performed an Autocad LT repair and also a reinstall from the add/remove programs and I have also tried a different .CUIX file but still no luck.

AutoCAD Architecture :: Copy / Transfer CUIX Files?

Jan 2, 2012

When I upgraded to Autocad (ACA) 2010 I migrated toolbars, etc. from ACA 2009. I am looking at getting a new computer and would like to know if I can just copy one of the CUIX files onto the new system and have everything work just as it does now. Is this possible, and which of the many CUIX files do I copy?  Do I need to also copy the MNU, MNR and MNX files?

I’ve searched the CUIX files but can tell from the dates which are the newest.

AutoCAD 2010 :: Custom CUIX Files Not Loading Images

Apr 5, 2013

I have added a few custom autocad commands that are specific to my scenario. I created Ribbon (and Menu for classic mode) for these commands and they are working fine. The only issue is that these Buttons (Ribbon and Menu for classic mode) are not loading the images(icons). All I get is a cloud image for both commands.

I have used 16X16 for small image and 32X32 for large image. Both are bmp files. These are attached to the custom  Autocad command that I am using. The commands themselves are working fine, except for the image which is not displayed. In short, what can be the possible reason for images not showing up?

AutoCAD Visual LISP / AutoLISP :: List Of Workspaces For Menu Files CUI And CUIX

Dec 8, 2013

Retrieving a list of Workspaces from menu files .cui and .cuix

The function to use is (workspacelist) which returns a list of workspace names, similar to (layoutlist) for retrieving a list of Layout names.

The functionality for extracting "WorkspaceRoot.cui" from .cuix requires copying the .cuix to .zip so that it can be accessed as a Windows compressed (zipped) folder which the Windows object "Shell.Application" provides.

Please rename the attachment to .lsp

I received the following error when I tried to post the .lsp: "The contents of the attachment doesn't match its file type."

AutoCAD 2010 :: ARG To CUIX

Jul 27, 2013

I have 2007 at the office and 2012 at home.

I would like to migrate the 2007 .arg file into my 2012 version but when I do this the .arg file needs to be a .cuix file.u

I've tried the migrate from previous version but that registers the old 2006 version I have on my machine.

How to get this customization from the .arg file into the correct cuix file. I will want to have this be the enterprise customization.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Partial Load Cuix

Jul 5, 2013

Messing with creating a Partial CUIX ribbon, new to this with using macros, I have a general understanding. Created a pulldown for creating existing electric polylines, I have macro setting both to the same layer, but not sure how to get so linetypes are different for both. One would be underground and the other would be overhead.

AutoCAD Visual LISP / AutoLISP :: Rename A CUIX

Oct 29, 2013

I would like to update a CUIX and rename it, both the file name and the internal customization group name/description. The main issue is that the associated MNL file will fail to load after the renaming.

The internal name is currently the same as the file name with spaces replaced by underscores.

I have tried the CUIX transfer method, I have tried simply renaming the file and leaving the internal name alone, I have also tried renaming to .ZIP, and modifying the one file inside that contains the internal name/description, recompiling the ZIP and renaming back to CUIX.

As stated above, using any of the above methods the main issue is that the associated MNL file will fail to load. This is with Civil 3D 2014. Also the customization group name may appear in the CUILOAD dialog without underscores and depending on the method the ribbon tabs will not even appear.

I've also noted that the MNL file associated with the partial CUIX loads twice in Civil 3D 2014 and only once in AutoCAD 2013. I haven't done further testing on that.

This is mainly cosmetic as our current CUIX has 2011 in the name and I would like to update to 2014.

AutoCAD Visual LISP / AutoLISP :: Profiles With Different Cuix?

Oct 7, 2012

I have created to new profiles:  Pro1 & Pro2.

I also have 2 new .cuix's, they were made automatically when I menuloaded my old .mns files.  They are called Cu1 andd Cu2

I want Pro1 to contain Cu1 &
I want Pro2 to contain Cu2

The problem I am having is when I menuload any cuix file it appears in each profile, It has been so long since I did this that I can't figure.

AutoCAD 2010 :: Custom CUIX Not Reloading Globally?

Oct 30, 2013

AutoCAD Architecture :: 2014 / Customizing CUIx Causes Loss Of Menus?

Aug 28, 2013

Doesn't CUIx mean Custom User Interface?

Background:  Using a new release of 2014 out of the box.  Made some changes to the .PGP file, created a custom palette and dragged some tools and gave them some standardized styles.  Worked fine all day. 

Problem: The next morning I booted up ACA and the menu ribbon failed to load. At the command prompts suggestion I tried CUILOAD.  Got the dialog box, found the ACA.CUIX file, but despite pressing the LOAD button nothing happened. 

Fix: I looked into the folder where the ACA.CUIX file was located (first folder on the support path), noticed there was a ACA.bak.CUIX file in the same folder.  I renamed the ACA.CUIX file and then took the .bak "extension" off of the other file.  Everything loads fine... except no customization.

Odd note: Last night, after I closed all my applications I went to shut down my computer and got Windows 7 version of the Blue Screen of Death.  I immediately rebooted and all looked OK, but I did not start ACA.  Not sure if related but just thought I mention it.

Request:  Is there a special step that I missed when creating a custom palette that caused it not to reload? 

I tried attaching the offending .CUIx file but the forum rejected it by stating "The contents of the attachment doesn't match its file type."

AutoCAD Visual LISP / AutoLISP :: Menu Swapping - Migrating To CUIX From MNS

Jan 1, 2010

I read Robert Bell's document “Migrating from MNU to the CUI” (Autodesk University 2007) with interest. I have been using 2005 up until now and I am finally forcing myself to get to grips with 2010.

I managed to get it to work after much trial and error through the CUI transfer interface.My customizing makes use of a lot of swapping pull-down menus, which swap in and out based on current later setting.A typical command would be:

(MENUCMD "P15=RCASPOPS.mfireeqp") where RCASPOPS is my swapping menu loaded at POP15.

Then I would use (MENUCMD "P15=*") to force the “mfireeqp” area of the pull-down menu to display.Trouble is, when I CUIload RCASPOPS, it does not seem to recognize the various areas of the menu.Here is a part of that subsection of RCASPOPS:

***MFIREEQP
[FireProtEquipLayers]
[--]
[0]0;
[defpoints]defpoints;
[X-Refs]x----ref;
[code]...

Typically the whole of RCASPOPS is loaded but when I try to force it to display, the whole of it pops on the screen (well, the top of the file does anyway) and not just the subsection I want.

Is this a syntax issue with the newer AutoCad?Also notice that I use the -> and <- for fly-out sections of the menu - is there a syntax issue with this? I notice that the future support of drop down swapping menus is not guaranteed. What is the alternative?

AutoCAD Visual LISP / AutoLISP :: Loading Cuix From Bundle When User Is Not Administrator

Jun 5, 2013

We are using .cuix file which gives access to tools in custom .arx file in AutoCAD 2012/2013. We load the menu using the .bundle mechanism and the plug-in - using button from the menu. If the user is Administrator (or executes AutoCAD as Administrator)  the menu, toolbars and ribbons are loaded correctly and the user can load and unload the application (lisp function in .mnl file is used for that), but if the user is not an administrator either the menu, toolbars and ribbons are not correctly loaded or they are loaded, but the user can not load the application.

We have found that a probable cause for this behaviour is that AutoCAD tries to create/renew the .mnr file when first loading a .cuix file and since the user has no administrator rights this can't be done in the "C:Program FilesAutodeskApplicationPlugins" folder where the bundle is and AutoCAD creates the .mnr file in its own support folder ("C:Users<User>AppDataRoamingAutodeskAutoCAD 2012R18.2...Support") together with a copy of the .cuix file and changes the path for loading the .cuix file to this location. Since the .mnl file containing the function for loading/unloading is not copied with the .cuix file the application can not be loaded.

The user has to delete the created files under the support path of AutoCAD, unload the .cuix file and then reload it from the correct location to resolve the problem. Restarting AutoCAD leads to the same problem.

Is there a way to prevent this behavior other then running AutoCAD as administrator (that is not always an option)?

AutoCAD 2013 :: Losing Wall Blocks When Opening 2010 Arch Desktop DWG Files With 2013

Jul 14, 2012

We recently updated all of our software at my company from 2010 architectural desktop to 2013 autocad.  We do a lot of architectural work where we use the "wall" functions to draw our floorplans.  I have noticed that the walls are disappearing on some files and not on others. Or we will only be able to see the outside line of the wall, but not the interior, which results in an undesirable appearance to the floorplans.

I have also run across these error messages when opening the files, I dont know if they are related or not:

"Unhandled exception C0000005 (access violation reading 0xffffffff) at address E43AA180h"

and

"Unhandled exception C0000005 (access violation reading 0xffffffff) at address D41218AEh"

AutoCAD LT :: Opening Files In 2013?

When opening a file, or attaching an external reference, the file dialog box does not always default to the last folder where a file was opened for attached from. It was defaulting to the folder at the top of the list on the left side of the dialog box until I deleted the cloud icon. But, there is still a problem with defaulting to the last path accessed.
