Exporting portions of a Custom Toolbar.....

AutoCAD 2006. (boss' computer)

I have made my boss a few custom Toolbars and Flyouts. Can i export just those few that i've made so i can import them into another computer with AutoCAD 06 installed? i've looked under F1 for awhile, can't find anything really. Thanks in advance. :-)

I am not 100% sure if this is what you want, but can't you just copy them over to a new cui in the CUI transfer window? When you go to the cui transfer window you could just drag and drop the individual toolbars (just expand "toolbars") you want into a new cui file, and then reverse the process on the receving computer.

Using that method i created a company standard toolbar with customized buttons that i was able to put on every users computer.

okay, well if i load that new CUI file, will that override their entire compilation of toolbars or can i just add those few? i guess i should ask could i "transfer backwards" just a few toolbars?

I guess so, but you could try it out, just make a backup first (just in case it doesn't work out).

By the way it's Lunch time!!! :lol:

Yes, just grab the toolbars you need, not the whole file. So what I would do is drag and drop the toolbars you desire from your Bosses CUI into a brand new one and save it. So then take the new mostly empty (cept for toolbars) cui file and then open it on the right side of the destination machine. Lets say you want to give "bob" the toolbars so you open up his cui menu and go to the transfer window and open the cui file you just made on the right handside. Then drag and drop the toolbars from the new cui file on the right to "Bob's" cui on the left. Dragging and dropping will copy, so you have nothing to fear, however it is never a bad idea to back-up your CUIs.
