Open your CUI, choose to show ‘all customization files’. If you want it to appear elsewhere, you have to move the sequence using CUI. Your new menu by default should appears as the last item. You can arrange the sequence by dragging them in CUI tree. Add new sub-menu if necessary and drag your group of commands there.Right click above menus category and choose new menu from contextual menu.

Now, how can we create the menu above in CUI? This is very logical, especially if you are already familiar with programming or customization. To easily differentiate creating viewport and modifying viewport, we can add separator. You can create sub menu to group same commands with different options, and separator for similar commands. There are things to consider, because menu is not as flat as toolbar. You create a new menu below menu category in CUI file and drag your commands there. Especially if you compare it to placing commands in AutoCAD ribbon! Working with menu If you use classic interface, you can access it from menu tools> toolbars> YOUR CUI> YOUR TOOLBAR.Īs I said before, it’s very easy. If you use ribbon interface, go to view tab, windows panel, toolbars> YOUR CUI> YOUR TOOLBAR. Just in case you don’t see the toolbar, you can load it manually. You don’t have to add toolbar to workspace, even if you were working in ribbon interface. Very similar with ribbon, right?Īfter you finish placing commands, just click OK. Expand your cui and expand toolbar.ĭrag your commands to your custom toolbar. Switch to ‘all customization files’ and expand ‘partial customization file’. Not very catchy name, but at least I know what tools are in it. Right click above toolbar, and choose new toolbar from contextual menu. Our customization file is empty, remember? You should see there is no item below it yet. Try to click the + sign on the left of toolbars category.

Now we work on our own customization file. Remember to activate customization file to yours (mine is cad-notes, yours might be different). It has fewer properties than ribbon.įirst, let’s open our CUI dialog box.

What if you want to add the commands to toolbar? What if you want to add commands to menu? Let’s see how we can do it here. But we know that ribbon is not everyone’s favorite. In the last tutorial, we learned how to place commands to ribbon.
