ohh...damn... yes thank you! :-P

 

 

I'm not familiar with XMX filetype... it appears to be a compiled file.

If this is truly a matter of accessibility, and not preference, I suggest you contact Autodesk directly. Otherwise, I'll be happy to show you how to manually export your buttons from 2007 and import them into a custom 2011 cui, if you're interested in that solution of course

 

sorry...before i havent seen your answer

thank you for your offer... if you have patient to teach me...

i will be your ''young padawan'' :-)

I need to leave the office for a couple of hours, do you know how to export (save_as) the bmp's from 2007 into a location where you can find them later? If so, go ahead and start exporting them.

Well, my day didn't turn out as expected....

 

Here's a video showing how to create you own "partial" cui file, how to transfer the existing toolbars into your cui, how to replace the default icons with the toolbar icons you export from a previous version, and finally how to turn off the default toolbars and use only your toolbars.

 

The demo also shows the problem with the background color when using the old icons on the new toolbars. You may be able to find a graphics program that will automatically change the background color, but I've always just done it manually. I suggest you try a few, and see if it's really worth all the work of replacing all the icons, or just a select few.

 

 

What potentially makes this worth while is that once you have the toolbars set up inside your custom cui, it's very easy to re-use it in other computers, or in other versions. I'm using the same custom toolbars I created in 2011 for 2012, 2013, and 2014.

Use the Snipping Tools from the Windows Start menu, save your "snip" as a .jpg.

-or-

Press PrtScr button on your keyboard, then paste into MS Paint. Crop/Trim as needed then save.

 

In the forum reply window, click the picture icon and insert your "snip"

sorry.. i havent that option in my menu...

maybe because i m young registered user in forum.....

 

I'm pretty certain you have the "Insert Image" button.

Browser security settings (specifically blocking JavaScript) will prevent the user from being able to open the "Select Files" window. Have you increased your security settings to block javascript?

It looks like you've duplicated at least one toolbar and have replaced several icons... Good!

 

It's good to see you don't have the background color issue. I went from 2005 to 2011, so Autodesk must have changed them in 2006 or 2007.

I think so...

however i was wondering:

 

how i can delete a customization file from CUI?

 

i tried to do some cuiix files... and actually there is a bit of confusion in my workspace... i have for example two DRAW toolbars

i think one is from 2007toolbars.cuix as in your fantastic video.. other... i dont kno (i switched all MAIN customization toolbars off as you suggested...)

 

o:)

 

edit:

 

i noted

 

if i modify a toolbar... after i applied my modification my workspace change and ALL toolbars are showed... is this correct??

Why it hasnt showed my configuration of toolbars i set before changing icon images??

 

toolbar 1 ON

toolbar 2 ON

toolbar 3 OFF

toolbar 4 OFF

 

etc?

1) You can unload unneeded partial cuix files simply by right clicking on them.

2) You can see which toolbars are loaded in your workspace by selecting your workspace, then viewing the contents in the top right pane.

3) Turning Toolbars On/Off can be done without entering the CUI by right-clicking on the grey background near a toolbar

I've noticed that sometimes when editing toolbars in the CUI, some of the default toolbars turn themselves back on. I don't know why, but it does happen. I just turn them back off again and Save the Workspace.

 

Also, I should warn you that when you turn on a toolbar for one workspace, the toolbar is added to all workspaces. In other words, when you get done setting up your CLASSIC workspace/toolbars, If you switch to any of the Ribbon workspaces, there will be many toolbars that you either have to turn off, or reposition. I thought there was a setting to prevent toolbars from automatically being added to every workspace, but I can't find it now.
