I HATE the new CUI because it stinks and does NOT work properly. Wrote in message there a way to turn the CUI method off in AutoCAD 2006 and have the program use the old menu file scheme. You should be able to count on a personal Adesk rep. Of resources than sending a few customizers to get trained on CUI. Training 400 users on a new system would be a far greater waste Autodesk should have maintained the easy customize toolbar button technique.Д«ut it seems like overkill to change to a completely different CAD system over a customization Tired of adapting menus just to see AutoCAD completely reorganize their menu systemsДЄnd command prompting with each new version.ДЈ. I personally have avoided it and limited my customization to LISP only.

But those that have the training seem to like it. NewДЄdesk policies allow the retention of old software.Дў. That may solve most of your problems with production. To work that way, maintain at least one installation of 2005 and use the old methods. Autodesk should probably have maintained the old methods during a transition period. 'Bill DeShawn' wrote in is a matter of practice. Some other dialog with auto-hide and have all the menu calls in there? Have consider to come up with another alternative?. Please, Autodesk, get rid of it and goД«ill your 400 users proficient in both AutoCAD It's an unnecessary 'middle man' interface. Us CAD managers have invented quick ways to get in and out of menu files Instead, they inventedДЄn expensive dialog that makes it harder and more time-consuming.

If anyone know how to turn this piece of garbage off please let me know. I am seriously thinking about moving my 400 users over to MicroStation! At least their customization interface WORKS! In my opinion the new CUI stinks and should NOT have been included in AutoCAD 2006 until they got it to work correctly.

I wish I could charge Autodesk for all of my wasted time. I'd like to meet the brain surgeon at Autodesk who thought this feature was ready for production. What would have taken me an hour or two with the old scheme has taken me DAYS to do and STILL does not work properly.

I am very skilled in menu customization, Visual Lisp, VBA, and VB.NET and have been customizing AutoCAD for 15 of my 20 years.

I am a 20 year AutoCAD veteran and think this is the WORST feature Autodesk has SHOVED down our throats since the R13 for Windows debacle. After I load all the menus I want in my workspace and see them on two lines the second line if GONE when I open AutoCAD again. One being that it will NOT hold pull down menus that are on 2 lines. Is there a way to turn the CUI method off in AutoCAD 2006 and have the program use the old menu file scheme.
