Work with the Customize User Interface (CUI) Editor

With the Customize User Interface (CUI) Editor, you can create and manage

standard and custom commands and user interface elements.

By customizing the user interface, you can arrange and access the commands

that you frequently use. You can also extend AutoCAD LT by creating your

own custom commands. Use the diagrams under this topic to understand the

steps required to successfully create a custom command or to customize the

various user interface elements that are available for customization.

Create a Command

Custom commands to define a series of actions that should be taken when

the custom command is used. You can also determine how the command

should appear when added to a user interface.

When creating a custom command, you need to give the command a unique

name, element ID, and macro. Once the basic properties of a command have

been defined, you can assign values to additional properties that determine

the content for the command’s tooltip, an image, and search tags. For more

information about creating custom commands, see Customize Commands

on page 92.
