Personal Hotkeys & Toolbars
Production Topic: Creating your own custom hotkeys and toolbars
- Enterprise Versus Local CUI: Autodesk has consolidated several formerly independent customization files in a 'Common User Interface', or CUI file.
- The CUI file contains workspaces, hotkeys, toolbars, mouse buttons, pulldown menus, context menus, lisp code, legacy menu support, and fragments of other client or discipline-specific CUIs.
- They have provided a bi-level implementation whereby an enterprise read-only CUI file may be centrally administered, and a local CUI file may be customized by the user as desired. 'ABS' is the name of the Enterprise CUI, the local CUI is called 'Custom'.
- The CUI Editor:
- Custom Hotkeys:
- Custom Toolbars:
- Recover or Relocate the Custom CUI: You did run the update process recently, yes? In addition to updating your local workstation, the update process creates a five-level backup of your custom CUI both locally and on the network. In other words, there are five snapshots of the local Custom CUI maintained locally and on the network corresponding to the date and time of the previous five updates.
