Customize User Interface (CUI) Editor FAQs
FAQs will help you to find answers to some of the most commonly asked
questions about using the Customize User Interface (CUI) Editor.
Migrating/Upgrading
How do I get my menu customization from a previous release to work in the
new release?
In past releases this had to be done through a text editor, such as Notepad.
With the CUI Editor, you use the Transfer tab to browse and select your
MNS/MNU, CUI, or CUIx file that contains your menu customization. Once
the previous customization file has been selected, you drag the user interface
elements between two CUIx files. See
To transfer customizations on page 381
for more information.
