Custom CUI - my custom commands for sharing

CUI commands for Sharing!

 

I have a few custom CUI commands that I would actually like to share, hopefully to speed up your own production. My CUI is attached as a zip file.

Descriptions of what I got, left to right:

 

--General Buttons--

Manager close: closes all open managers (layer dialogs, property dialog, etc.

Dimensions: A series of dimension buttons straight from autocad that I use the most.

Text Format: Top left, Top Center, Top right, all on the click of a button.

Break line at Point.

Set hatch orgin.

Freeze layer.

Frame off

Frame on

Send to back

 

--Scales--

Changes the ltscale and dimscale. I also use it to hover over to determine my scale factor for xrefs.

 

-Xrefs-

Unloads all xrefs

The buttons reload xrefs, but requires files to be names xfp0, xfp1, xelev, etc. Pretty nice if your on complicated project and stack the floors to see how things line up.

 

Things I'm still after:

What I would REALLY like is a way to change text to mtext without copy/clipping.

A way to open up the cui editor and have it all 'laid open' to start editing buttons, (or a simple text editor.)

 

PUMP CAD!

To unload or reload xref can be archieved with a macro no matter their names,

-xref;reload;*;

 

* = Wildcard

I've recently made about 100 custom commands in the CUI, and I would like to share them with an engineer I work with so that we don't have to completely redo all that typing.

 

How do you save the custom made CUI? And after the CUI has been saved, what is the method you would go about for uploading it to another computer's local drive?

 

Thank you!

You can use CUI command to "save as" To create a new CUI (buttons at the far top near where you can sort which CUI files to edit).
Or find and copy ioir CUIx file to the other user's PC, start CUI command, click on the transfer tab, and drag content from your CUIx file to their CUIx file.

OPTIONS command's FILES tab, under customization..., shows you the location of your primary menu file.
