Is it possible to transfer customized toolbars frm AutoCAD 2005 to AutoCAD 2006?

Hi

Please note I have *moved* this thread from the AutoCAD General (http://forums.augi.com/forumdisplay.php?f=120) forum to this one as I feel this particular Forum is a more appropriate place for such a topic.

Thanks, Mike

Maybe trying plugging in the following search criteria in the forum search (http://forums.augi.com/search.php?) facility ( hint - limit search to AutoCAD 2006 CUI Menus (http://forums.augi.com/forumdisplay.php?f=209) forum, AutoCAD 2006 General (http://forums.augi.com/forumdisplay.php?f=197) forum & AutoCAD Customization (http://forums.augi.com/forumdisplay.php?f=118) forum )...

Key Word(s): *Transfer* + *Toolbar*

*Import* + *Toolbar*

Have a good one, Mike

No problem at all. Just take the menu in which these toolbars are defined (kparr.mnu), and load it as a partial menu in 2006 using MENULOAD. Your toolbars are defined in a partial menu in 2005, right? If not, now is the time to start.

There is actually no need to mess with the CUI, unless you are getting into a more detailed configuration, such as configuring which pull-down menus are shown and in which order. For toolbars, you can turn them on/off, change their position, and save a workspace without getting into the CUI.
