Import a Workspace to a Main CUIx File
You can import a workspace to the main CUIx file using the Transfer tab of
the Customize User Interface (CUI) Editor. Workspaces in partially loaded
CUIx files must be transferred to the main CUIx file if you want to set that
workspace current.
Set the Default Workspace
Workspaces in a CUIx file can be marked as default. This identifies which
workspace in the CUIx file should be restored when the CUIx file is loaded
into the program the first time, or after the CUIx file has been loaded with
the CUILOAD command.
Set a Workspace Current
Once a workspace is created or modified, it must be set current before the
workspace can be used to control the current display of the user interface.
You set workspaces current through the user interface or the Customize User
Interface (CUI) Editor. From the user interface, you can set a workspace current
with the Workspaces toolbar, Workspace Switching button on the status bar,
Tools menu on the menu bar, and the WORKSPACE command.
You can also use the /w command line switch to set a workspace current when
you double-click the desktop shortcut to start AutoCAD. For more information
about command line switches, see Customize Startup in the User’s Guide.
