Menu Text File Structure Versus CUI and CUIx Structure

In releases prior to AutoCAD 2006, you added, edited, and deleted menu

information directly in a text file. In AutoCAD 2006 and later, you use the

Customize User Interface (CUI) Editor.

Following is an example of how the Window menu looked in the legacy menu

file aclt.mnu.
