Commands
How do I create a new command and add it to a user interface element, such
as a pull-down menu?
Commands are created and managed through the Command List pane located
in the lower-left corner of the Customize tab of the CUI Editor. See
To create
a command
on page 144 for more information.
Once the command has been created, it can be added to or used to create a
number of different user interface elements. To add the command to a menu
for example, expand the menu under the Menus node in the Customizations
In <file name> pane that you want to add the command to and then drag the
command under the menu. See
To create a pull-down menu on page 272 for
more information.
Menus
Why doesn’t my menu display on the menu bar?
Workspaces are used to control the display of menus on the menu bar. See To
display menus on the menu bar
on page 372 for more information.
How do I change the order of a pull-down menu?
Workspaces are used to control the positioning of menus on the menu bar.
See To reposition menus on the menu bar on page 373 for more information.
Toolbars
Why do my toolbars not stay in the same place after I close and restart
AutoCAD 2012?
This happens because of the way menus are loaded into AutoCAD at startup.
This problem only happens when partial and enterprise CUIx files are used.
To resolve this problem, you can use the new /w command line switch. This
causes AutoCAD 2012 to re-initialize the workspace upon startup and place
the toolbars in their correct locations. See
To restore a workspace with a
command line switch
on page 354 for more information.
Why do my icons on a toolbar display as a cloud with a question mark after
I migrate them using the Transfer tab in the CUI Editor?
This happens because the images for the custom icons are not located in the
AutoCAD support file paths. Locate the images using Windows Explorer and
