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.

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?

My company recently upgraded to Autocad 2013 from 2008. I was using a custom dimension cui file for sizing dimensions according to scale. I have reloaded the file into 2013. However, I am having to reload the file daily because it does not function without reloading. Is there any work around for this?

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."

I'm able to add custom panels/buttons into the Ribbons, by cloning the existing ribbon (from acade.cuix) into my partial cuix. However.. I'm not able to add more commands to the shortcut menus, using the same technique.
Is it possible to add custom commands to existing shortcut menus using a partial cuix?

We have a custom cuix file that loads some pulldown menus nd ribbon tabs that we have located on the server so that it can be modified and automaticaly updates on all computers once autocad is closed and reopened. My problem is now when I make a change to my setup and save the file, it no longer updates on the other computers.

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?

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.

I just installed AUTOCAD 2013 on my computer. Every morning when I start up, I have to reload by CUI file. My ribbons are rearranged, I have to arrange them back to how I had them. Why is this happening?

I'm working for a new company and have not used AutoCad in some time. We want to be able to "drop in" existing drawings through the use of customized drop drop menus. Is there a tutorial somewhere that shows how to customize the drop down menus and link them to files?

We run 6 seats of Map 3D 2012. We are upgrading computers but want to remain with 2012 for the time being.
Our old machines were 32 bit; the new ones 64 bit. I am having to load the 64 bit version of Map 3D fresh to all the stations (individual; not network)
I have set up custom menus and a preferred workspace on my station some time ago. I don't want to have to reconfigure everything from scratch.
What files do I need to save and how do I access them once I have reinstalled the new version?

We recently upgraded from 2006 to 2013. We had a lisp routine in 06 that would reload all the xref's in a sheet so the layer states would update since simply reloading the xref did not always work. Below is the code we used. Now, in 2013, when we run it, I lose all layer states.
(defun c:xrl ()
(setvar "visretain" 0)
(command "_qsave")
(command "xref" "reload" "*")
(setvar "visretain" 1)
(command "_qsave")

I used to have an add-on called Xtabs that would make my drop-down menus (layers, linetypes, etc.) go all the way to the bottom of the screen. In 2013, I changed to interface to classic, so that it looks more like it used to, but the add-on does not appear to be available anymore. Is there a built-in way now to do this?

I finally cleared enough space on my creaky old PC to install 2013 and once again am having trouble with that CUI.
The ribbon is useless to me, partly because it contains nothing relevent (most of the commands I use are legacy) and partly because this creaky PC can't handle it. My usual workspace is set to toolbars (some custom) and menus.
I exported my workspace from 2012 including all the menus and toolbars.
I imported that cuix file into 2013. Everything is there listed as it should be, but when I select the workspace and click apply I have neither toolbars nor menus showing (well I have a tiny toolbar with just new, open and save on it, and another that appears to be related to survey, but none of the ones I want or need.)
What do I have to do to get my menus and toolbars back? they haven't abolished them completely? This PC cannot handle the ribbon and my every request for an upgrade is denied due to politics.

My company have some custom menus and some some lisps that are related to it.
to install the menus in r14 first we opel tools/options/Files then we add the custom folders under the Support File Search path then we load the menu and open the Display screen menu and after all the commands can used under the screen menu.
this also work under acad 2000 but cannot find a solution under 2010

Granted this is a minor issue, but when Revit 2013 is opened, before actually opening a project file, if I click the add-ins or some of the other menus, they don't appear in the right spot. See attachment as an example.

I've made some customisation in the ribbon of a 2013LT version.
Now some customisation functions are only available on the Full, so I download and install it but I can't find a way to import all those custom settings grom LT to Full...
Seems it works only from LT to LT or Full to Full..

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

check and see if there is a "Modeldoc.cuix" file included in your Civil 3D directories anywhere?
This would include under your user profile, and under C:Program FilesAutodeskAutoCAD Civil 3D 2013
