How can i rename menu in autocad

[Tiger]

eh....Like change the menu 'File' to be called 'David'? Or what menu are you talking about?

[giskumar]

Do you want to change Pop up menu name or Menu group name?

Both the things you can change by editing the .mnu file / .cui file and reload it.

Hi,

If you want to change menu name in .cui file....

Find menu group in cui file which is noted as

 
***GROUPNAME

Below the menu group you can find the different menu names which are noted as

**MENUNAME

Changing this menu name can help you.

Thats not for a .cui file. Those belong to the old .mnu file from 2004 and back. You do your editing in the cui as shown below in the image. You should never rename any part of the original acad.cui unless you are looking for problems. You can add menus and customize them through the CUI. Refer to the AutoCAD Help Section before you do anything to your menus.

If you want to bring in an old .mnu or .mns type file, You need to import it in through the CUI with _cuiimport command. This will bring up the CUI editor as shown in the image below. You can save it to the name you want by doing a Save As... as also shown below. You can place it where you want in your menu area.

Before doing anything I recommend you make a backup profile in case you screw up and also refer to the AutoCAD Help File to have a better understanding on how to do what your looking to do.

Personally this is where I think any customized menus should be inserted.

Your right ReMark, Thats where I have my custom menus. Sorry if I did not go into enough detail, But I wish folks would look at their help file for once. All that information available gets ignored to often.

What's a HELP file?

Then they wonder why they have so many problems. OIE - Operator Induced Error.

Working with the CUI editor is still shakey ground for someone who has not done it before. I still say that a backup profile should be made just in case.
