CUI compatibility among Autocad versions, Plot Style Table

[ruthellenwilliams]

I have a cuix created/edited under Acad 2012. Can I load it into 2007? What about LT 2014? Compatibility issues? Also, any way to print a plot style table?

For the latter, look at http://www.noliturbare.com/

for the former, not recommended. I would expect to see problems

AutoCAD switched from MNU to CUI in the 2006 versions. When installing a new version make a copy of the old CUI adding the version to it like XXX-2012. Then put it in the support folder of the newer version to transfer items. I keep a few older versions just in case and make copies of CUI's I modify with the date added to them in case I make a mistake. Gotta say you work with an odd variety of versions.

Yes, I'm not with a firm but doing consulting/drafting on contract and it's an odd variety of clients that I have. All small businesses with economic reasons for not upgrading or for buying LT instead of one of the suites that includes full Autocad. I have had multiple versions installed at one time over the past 25 years but have recently given up trying to do that. Just trying to help each as much as I can. None use even basic Autocad to anywhere near it's full function of course - just trying to get buildings built!
