Saving Your Menu Customizations

This topic comes up after every update. I am going to re-post an earlier post on the Workspaces topic, which covers this as well.

You do not need to create a Workspace in order to save CUI menu changes, but it is a good idea:

In HydraCAD Version 50/51 we have fully implemented Workspaces. These are stored in the CUI (menu) file. A few tips:

To add your own Workspace –

Arrange the screen the way you want it (command line, scroll bars, ribbons, whatever) and pick Save Current As: from the Workspace toolbar

To make your Workspace load upon opening a drawing –

Pick Customize from the Workspace toolbar and then right click on your preferred Workspace and pick Set Default.

To save your Workspace so that it will still be around after you update HydraCAD –

Pick Customize and pick the Transfer Tab. Then, drag your Workspace from the Main CUI File window over to the New CUI folder. Drag over whatever else you want to save (Toolbars, Menus, Ribbon Stuff, Cursor Menu, etc). Then pick the Save command from the New CUI window to save your changes.

To import your Workspace(especially after a HydraCAD update) –

Pick Customize and pick the Transfer Tab. Open your CUI from the New CUI window. Then, drag your Workspace from the New CUI File window over to the New CUI folder. Drag over whatever else you want to bring in (Toolbars, Menus, Ribbon Stuff, Cursor Menu, etc).
