About Using the Customize User Interface (CUI) Editor to Transfer Custom User Interface Elements

The Transfer tab of the Customize User Interface (CUI) Editor can be used to copy user interface element data from a CUI, CUIx, MNS, or MNU file to a CUIx file without modifying the original source customization or menu file. A new CUIx file is created with the same name as the original source customization or menu file, except when a CUIx file is the source file.

Note: All user interface elements can be transferred between two CUIx files with the exception of the property settings defined under the Quick Properties and Rollover Tooltips nodes.

If you transfer user interface elements that reference other user interface elements, such as a flyout, all the relevant information for that user interface element is also transferred. For example, if you transfer the Home - 2D ribbon tab, which references a number of ribbon panels, all referenced ribbon panels are also transferred.

Note: Images may not appear in the program when you transfer a user interface element from a CUIx file. If the images are loaded from individual image files, those images must reside in a folder that is defined under the Custom Icon Location node on the Files tab in the Options dialog box. If the images come from a third-party resource DLL, contact the party who created the resource DLL.
