Why don't you tell us what version of AutoCAD you're using first.

 

Some versions, such as 2004, have a .mnu file while other versions, such as 2009 have a .cui file.

Here is some information about .mnu, .mns, .mnc, etc. files that may be beneficial to your education.

Note that the author recommends making a copy of and then editting the .mns file.

For me, and now *.mnu files are the best way to build a menu, and I think pros would agree with me. Far from complete but sufficient information http://www.afralisp.net/ in AutoLISP and Menu's section. You can load source menu file with _MENULOAD command in any version and *.cui file will appears automatically.

ML0940 posted this back in July 2008:

 

"You can load an .mns/.mnu file anytime which gets converted to a new cui file."

 

Is that how it works? What happens when you still want to do some additional tweaking? Does the user have to reload these files? Does AutoCAD overwrite the .cui file it created?

 

Learn something new every day. What a place!

Menuload has an option to "unload" so you just unload then load your new version

You download the *.mnu, but unload already *.cui. When downloading *.mnu., *.cui be generated in accordance with the latest version of *. mnu.

There may be some way of reloading a mnu midstream but I always use menuload unload and load it works every time and changes the cui.
