NOTE If you have made changes to partial plotter configuration (PC3) files that
are located in a custom folder, those files are migrated to the AutoCAD LT PC3
folder, which is located under your custom PC3 folder. PC3 files are migrated to
a separate folder to maintain backward compatibility with previous AutoCAD LT
releases.
CUI Files The data from these files defines how the user interface elements
in AutoCAD 2006 and later were arranged. These elements include: palettes,
ribbon panels and tabs, menus, toolbars, and many others. Based on the release
from which you are migrating, the Migrate Custom Settings dialog box will
be looking for CUI or CUIx files.
NOTE User Profiles must be selected for migration in order to migrate CUI files.
MNU/MNS Files The data from these files defines the user interface elements
in AutoCAD 2005 and earlier. These elements include: toolbars, pull-down
and image tile menus, and many others. The Migrate Custom Settings dialog
box looks for MNS files first, and then MNU files.
NOTE User Profiles must be selected for migration in order to migrate MNU/MNS
files.
User-Defined Icons These files are typically referenced by commands stored
in a CUI or CUIx file, and stored in the folder defined under the Custom Icon
Location node on the Files tab of the Options dialog box.
NOTE User Profiles must be selected for migration in order to migrate user-defined
icons.
User-Defined Tool Palette Files/Tool Palette Files These files contain a set
of user-defined and standard tools that shipped with AutoCAD LT.
NOTE User Profiles must be selected for migration in order to migrate tool palettes.
■ User-defined Tool Palette Files. Custom tool palette files that were created
in AutoCAD LT 2009 and earlier can be migrated. However, tool palettes
that are supplied with AutoCAD LT 2009 and earlier are not migrated.
If custom tools were added to a tool palette that shipped with AutoCAD
LT 2009 or earlier, the tools are not migrated and need to be added back
to the tool palettes that shipped with AutoCAD LT 2012.
■ Tool Palette Files. Tool palettes created or edited with AutoCAD LT 2010
or later can be migrated to AutoCAD LT 2012.
NOTE It is not recommended to copy tool palette (ATC) files between releases.
Copying tool palette files from one release to another can potentially cause
problems when migrating to a future release.
