ÐÐ<br />

Plot styles (CTB, STB), and plotter configurations (PC3)<br />

Support files (CUI, FMP, LIN, PAT, PGP, PSF, UNT, and TXT)<br />

The files are found by following these OS-specific paths:<br />

Windows<br />

Mac<br />

Linux<br />

C:\Users\\AppData\Roaming\Bricsys\BricsCAD\V17x64\en_US<br />

/users//Library/Prreferences/Bricssys/BricsCADV17x64/en_US/<br />

home//Bricsys/BricsCAD/V17x64/en_US/<br />

TIP You can change in BricsCAD the path to local and roamable folders with system variables LocalRootPrefix<br />

and RoamableRootPrefix. This is useful when the content of the folders is stored on a central server.<br />

Tutorial: Importing Menus Files from AutoCAD<br />

If you have menus that you customized in AutoCAD, then you probably can use them in BricsCAD.<br />

Follow these steps to import menu files from AutoCAD:<br />

1. Use the Customize command to open the Customize dialog box.<br />

2. At the right end of Main Customization File field, click the button.<br />

3. In the Select Main CUI File dialog box, click the Files of Type droplist. Notice the list of file types:<br />

Selecting a menu file type to import<br />

ÐÐ<br />

CUIX — compressed CUI files that also store resources, like icon files; in use by AutoCAD since release<br />

2012 and by BricsCAD since V14<br />

ÐÐ<br />

CUI — standard menu files used by AutoCAD since release 2007 and by BricsCAD since V8<br />

ÐÐ<br />

MNU or MNS — legacy menu and support files used by AutoCAD and by AutoCAD LT prior to release 2007<br />

ÐÐ<br />

ICM — IntelliCAD menu files used by BricsCAD prior to V8 and by IntelliCAD-based systems<br />

4. Choose a file type, select a file name, and then click OK. Notice that the menu structure changes to match the<br />

newly-imported file.<br />

Careful! Although BricsCAD imports AutoCAD menu files effortlessly, menu actions sometimes do not<br />

work, because AutoCAD macros can contain macro code or metacharacters not supported by BricsCAD.<br />
