Commands : MENULOAD, CUILOAD, MENUUNLOAD and CUIUNLOAD
When you install BricsCAD the default CUI files are copied to the Support folder of your Roamable root folder. (e.g. C:\Users\<user_name>\AppData\Roaming\Bricsys\Bricscad\Vxx.x\en_US\Support).
When you launch BricsCAD the first time the default.cui file is loaded automatically.
There are two procedures to load a CUI file:
-
Load main CUI file, which replaces all existing content with the content of the new CUI file.
-
Load partial CUI file, which appends its content to the content of the currently loaded main CUI file.

You can load an IntelliCAD menu file if you select MNU files (*.mnu;*.mns) in the Files of Type list box of the Choose a Customization file dialog in the Load main CUI file, Load partial CUI file and Manage Customization Groups procedures.
