Does anyone know how to extract the standard icons used in acad.cuix in AutoCAD 2011? Icon extractors and resourcehackers can't find them.
Saving them from CUI is not only cumbersome, it only lets you save the 16x16 bitmaps - no way to save the 32x32 bitmaps.

Switch to the 32x32 icons and when you export them, you get the 32x32 version.

If you create a new CUIx file or make modifications to an existing one, the icons you add are included in the CUIx file. For the standard menus/command however, those icons are no part of the CUIx file.
Yesterday, I found out Iv'e been busy at home with this about a year ago - I found a folder containing all icons, cursors and bitmaps for AutoCAD 2010. I vaguely recall using a Resource hacker / extractor to get all the stuff out of the files. Only thing is - I have'nt got a clue which resource hacker Iv'e used...

Anyway, it can be done - I only have to find the resource hacker I used before :)
