We are having alot of problems in 2006 with users trying to update their toolbars to match what they had in 2005. For one the new interface is a pain when trying to create a custom toolbar, the old way was much easier, secondly for more than half of our users one the toolbars are created/edited and then the customize toolbar command is used an error comes up stating that the "The CUI file you are attempting to open is invalid. Select a different CUI file and try again." Does anyone have a cure for this?

Hi,

You may want to send us the CUI files to take a look.

We are having the exact same issue. Could someone help us through this issue before one of the users unloads the software and reinstalls it AGAIN.

I started having this same problem all of a sudden today. The customize user interface was working fine, I made some changes and they were saved to the CUI file. The next time I tried to open the CUI dialog box it gave me the invalid error message.

Now, no matter which CUI file I open, they are all blank. There are no menu items, toolbars, shortcut menus etc.

There was a JIT error that popped up...I'll try to attach the text.

I don't know if this has anything to do with the problem...the last change I made before the problem occurred was to add "X" to the point filters in the object snap pop-up menu. (why wasn't it there in the first place?)

Now when I load AutoCAD Mechanical, this comes up in the command line..

"Duplicate macro name in: AMPP macro group.
A macro with the name: .X already exists.
Customization file loaded successfully. Customization Group: AMPP
Customization file loaded successfully. Customization Group: AMACAD
Customization file loaded successfully. Customization Group: AMFLY
Customization file loaded successfully. Customization Group: EXPRESS
Customization file loaded successfully. Customization Group: MIKE-1"

I would cange it back to see if that helped...but I can't make any changes.

Did you cure your problems with the CUI file? I am having the same problem that you are having, I am thinking about installing the software again.

[#7]

Autodesk advised that I delete the CUI files, uninstall & reinstall the software. I haven't found the time to do that yet though...much too busy.

Fortunately, the files seem to load fine when Autocad starts up so I can get my work done...I just can't change the menus, toolbars etc.

[#8]

yes we are having the same problem, and quick fix would be nice...

[#9]

We have tried the uninstall - reinstall and we still have the cui problems. We are also having many other problems: can't open 2006 files in 2005 (fatal error), mech fasteners in blocks don't copy from one dwg to another, can't add existing mech parts to a block, match properties command doesn't always work, and lately people have had commands that worked earlier in the day just not work.
