Store custom commands

arnoud.vanooijen — Tue, 26 Mar 2024 15:04:41 GMT

Hello,

I have made some custom commands in the CUI and used these in toolbars and the ribbon. In a newer version of Autocad I had to make the commands again. Is there a way to store and load these commands?

CUI command inside AutoCAD has a TRANSFER tab to copy content from one CUIX file (where your CUI content is stored) to another CUIx file.

Your AutoCAD session's OPTIONS command, FILES tab, Customizations File Location section will show you where the CUIx file is stored.

If you are only trying to duplicate an entire AutoCAD setup on multiple PCs that use the same exact year version, You can just use these tools

Thank you for your quick reply Pendean!

I can transfer work-spaces, toolbars, menu's etc., but my useful custom commands are not present when I click on the transfer tab in the CUI. The commands which are used in the ribbon can be transferred, but when opening the CUIX-file in the newer version, the commands show up in the ribbon new version, but they does not show up in the command list. It would be nice to have them there to update them when necessary.

I don't know what that means, I don't see any video or screenshots, and especially since you also write..

Can you elaborate?
