I have always worked with custom mnu's and just use menuload to add partial menus have done so with no probs for multiple versions. Now starting to use Bundles which has cuix.

 

If you have added only to acad.cui then you may have problems with new commands missing.

 

If its a custom Cui then just use menuload.

As shown in the screenshot, you can start with your TOOLS dropdown menu

 

 

Or if you open the INTERFACE, CUI and click on the TRANSFER tab that will get you started.

If you have lots of customizations in your older version, I am guessing that you will have SAVED a copy of your .pgp file somewhere safe,

which contains any alias edits and system variable settings which you prefer.

If not use SYSVDLG to open the dialog box where you can do that.

It is always a good idea to keep a current copy of your personal .PGP file, so that you can hit the ground running

on any machine, by using the READ functionality at the bottom of the SYSVDLG dialog box.

For a custom CUI just add it as a partial CUI. For a modified AutoCAD CUI use the Transfer tab in the CUI to add all you 2013 customization to the 2013 one. Make sure you add in any required image files first though.

 

I do this with every new version.
