    Default Customized CUI menus does not change menus.

    Good Morning All:

    I work in the Civil Engineering discipline. I'm running AutoCAD Civil 3D 2008.

    I have customized Menus and Toolbars hundreds of times through countless editions of AutoCAD but this one is being a real *&%#$@!!!

    I have tried revising the Workspace to Alphabetize the menus, as well as to remove unwanted menus from the menu list but it reverts to a standard list of menus. They are the standard ones in the Civil Design Workspace: File, Edit, View, Tools, Map, Projects, Points, Terrain, Grading, Layout, Profiles, Cross Sections, Hydrology, Pipes, Sheet Manager, Inquiry, Utilities, Window, Help (in that order) with the addition of File & Edit on the end!!

    Can anybody shed some light on what I'm apparently missing and/or doing wrong?

    Does anyone have an idea how to solve this dilemma?

    Thanks in advance for your help on this.

    Using the Customize CUI - you need to create a new workspace - Alpha and turn on and off as well as set the order of your menus. When you do, save that workspace.

    Be sure your shortcut icon that you use doesn't call the standard out-of-the-box Civil workspaces or everytime you open the default workspace is set current.

    Yes I think I have the solution. After creating your cui the way you want it, go to the options dialogue box, select the Files tab, & under the customization files, select your cui in the Enterprise customization file path. Re-start AutoCAD & all should be working okay.

    Just be careful about the number of menus. Once you go past 24 menus, controlling them becomes impossible, since AutoCAD's core doesn't handle that number of menus well.
