Your Bitmaps need to be in the correct folder for the CUI to be able to use
them MLiebert.
I'm using OE to view the DG, so I'll need to check to see which release of
LDT is being discussed in this thread. Be back in a second...
I couldn't see which release was being discussed, but since you've mentioned
the CUI, I can tell it's a post-2K5 release.
So your Bitmaps will need to be located in the...
C:\Documents and Settings\\Application Data\Autodesk\Autodesk Land
Desktop 2007\R17.0\enu\Support
...folder.
Watch out for the word-wrapping on that Folder name. And of course adjust
the folder name for whichever release you have in conjunction with the CUI.
Once the bitmaps are copied to the proper folder, you will then need to:
Open LDT;
right-click one of the "clouded" buttons;
and then select Customize... from the bottom of the Dialog Box you're
presented with;
once the CUI opens up on-screen, then select the proper item in the
Customization in All CUI Files - upper left portion of the CUI;
you will then see the Button Image in the upper-right portion of the CUI;
click the Edit button below the clouded question mark;
click the Open button on the following Button Editor DB;
in the next Select File DB, get the proper folder open, and then select the
proper bitmap you need;
select the Open button, which will take you back to the Button Editor DB;
now select Save, and then Close the DB;
your clouded question mark is still obviously the button image, and will be
until you find the correct image showing just to the right of it, and select
it;
then click Apply.
The CUI will then replace the button image with the one you just chose, and
you can then select a different toolbar button in the Customization in All
CUI Files to transform to the correct bitmap image. When you've got them all
transformed, you can then select OK on the CUI - voila, you're all done!
It takes far longer to explain, than to actually go through the process on
your PC. 😉
HTH, and I've seen lots of complaints about the CUI process being different
in one aspect or another from the MNS process. It's decidedly growing on me,
and I'm just about to the point of enjoyment using the CUI.
Just about... 😉

I have not had a problem with my custom buttons and icons. What I am having
trouble with are the standard commands that I have created custom toolbars
for. Why use the standard when it doesn't address my needs, right?
Anyway, the icons show up fine in the CUI dialogue but remain Clouds w/ ?'s
on the actual toolbar. Any suggestions?
