UPDATED

TIP BricsCAD can import menu files from other CAD systems, such .cuix from recent releases of
AutoCAD, .mnu from older AutoCAD systems, and IntelliCAD’s .icm files.
These are imported through the File | Load Main CUI File option. In the Files of Type droplist, choose the
other format, as illustrated below.
CUI Customization Files
BricsCAD store customizations in .cui files, as shown in the second line of the Customize dialog box:
Location of the primary customization file in Windows
This single default.cui file contains everything to do with menus, shortcut menus, toolbars, buttons,
tablets, Quad cursor, ribbon, and keyboard shortcuts— except for aliases and shell commands,
which are saved in a separate default.pgp file. Both of these files can be exchanged with other CAD
programs that read them, such as AutoCAD. (Click the “Command Aliases” or “Shell Commands”
tab to see the location of the .pgp file, as shown below.)
Path to the default.pgp file
You can use the Browse button at the end of the Main Customization File field to load a different
.cui file. You would want to do this when you want to quickly change the user interface of BricsCAD:
1. Click the button.
2. Choose a .cui, .cuix, .mnu, or .icm file from the Select a CUI File dialog box.
3. Click Open. Notice that all of the user interface changes immediately!
