on creating a new CUIx file, see To create a CUIx file from scratch on page
123. CUIx files can be loaded or unloaded with the CUILOAD and CUIUNLOAD
commands from the Command prompt, or you can use the Customize tab in
the Customize User Interface (CUI) Editor.
Commands and user interface elements can be added to a partial CUIx file
that is loaded under the main CUIx file, but not the enterprise CUIx file unless
it is loaded as the main CUIx file. Before adding commands to a partial CUIx
file, the partial CUIx file must be set as the working CUIx. For more
information on adding a command to a partial CUIx file, see
To add commands
to a partial CUIx file
on page 130.
When a partial CUIx file is loaded, any workspaces defined in the file cannot
be set current. To use a workspace defined in a partial CUIx file, it must be
transferred to the main CUIx file first. For more information on transferring
a workspace to the main CUIx file, see
To import a workspace to a main CUIx
file
on page 360.
To load a partial CUIx file using the CUILOAD command
1 At the Command prompt, enter cuiload.
2 In the Load/Unload Customizations dialog box, in the File Name text
box, enter a path to the CUIx file you want to load, or click Browse to
locate the file.
3 Click Load, and then click Close.
To load a partial CUIx file using the Customize tab
1 Click Manage tab ➤ Customization panel ➤ User Interface.
2 In the Customize User Interface Editor, Customize tab, in the
Customizations In <file name> pane, select Main Customization File
(<customization file name>.cuix) from the drop-down list. To the right of
the drop-down list, click the Load Partial Customization File button.
3 In the Open dialog box, locate and select the partial CUIx file you want
to load, and click Open.
