New blocks to a custom CUI file

[eunice.chagoya]

When trying to add some new blocks to a custom CUI file in AutoCAD 2016. I duplicated a command name and changed the macro to insert the correct file needed. When I apply the command it changes the macro back to the original file. How can I get the macro to keep the file I need?

@eunice.chagoya,

I will need more information to help with your problem. Can you copy/paste BOTH of your macro commands so I can see what they are referencing? You do not need to include any actual path names, you can use arbitrary ones.

Best,

Perhaps my guess is...
In the second pane of the CUI (the bottom-left pane)
one command for each unique macro that will be written.

Example:
"Block1", "Block2", "Block3" are unique to the macro line.
Therefore the bottom-left pane shall have one of each declared.
When finished creating, drag and drop to your favorite UI element (top-left pane).
If you have 50 blocks, there must be 50 commands.

It's a beginner's mistake all of us has made at one point in the CUI's lifetime
including myself.

In the early days of the CUI editor, the macro line was uneditable (grayed-out)
when the highlighted item was in the first pane and not in the second pane.
They have since lifted this restriction.
