GuideSIGN Markings 2024.8.2
Note
Due to the increasing complexity of menu files and specific associated programme files, it is recommended that only personnel with considerable AutoCAD experience should modify the menu files.
You can to use the CUI command to create a new menu CUIX files or alter the existing ones used by the system. The CUI dialog will give you a great deal of control over the icons, buttons, panels, etc. that are displayed to you.
It should now be possible to perform all GuideSIGN Markings commands on drawings received from other sources without taking any special measures i.e. it should be possible to OPEN the drawing and start work. However, this does not guarantee that such things as colors for the various layers used will be as the GuideSIGN Markings template.
It is recommended that you do NOT alter existing menus, but it is always best to create a NEW separate CUIX containing those altered items you wish to have in your menu. This method is preferred, as when systems get updated again next year or the year after, any alterations WILL GET LOST, but using separate menus they WILL REMAIN available for the new version of AutoCAD or GuideSIGN Markings to use.
The second tab of the CUI command allows you to easily move or copy items from one menu file to another (or new file) and save the new file.
Note
Always ensure a different menugroup name is specified to the normal GuideSIGN Markings and ACAD menugroups, so that both groups can be loaded with no conflict.
The command MENULOAD or CUILOAD command is then used to load your own cuix or cui file on top off the already loaded AutoCAD and GuideSIGN Markings menus.
This CUIX file and related bitmap images (BMP files) can then also be distributed out to a number of PCs should you wish to have your new created toolbars available on all of them.
