    Where are they defined? Assuming you made your own menu, just copy that
    menu file and possibly the BMP files that go with it.

    If you made the customizations to the stock ACAD files, then now is the
    time to get them out of there. Create a directory on your machine like
    C:\CADSTUFF and then create a menu file like JOJO.CUI in that directory.
    Create, add, delete whatever you want in this CUI file, save and BMP
    files in this directory also.

    Now when you upgrade to 2007, or move computers, etc, you just have to
    worry about ONE place -> C:\CADSTUFF

    Anything besides .cui and .bmp files that need to be saved? I know how
    to copy my shortcuts and routines over - it's the toolbars and menus
    I'm not sure about.

    If you have your own .MNL file, that also. That is something you would
    have had to create yourself. An .MNL file is a lisp file that is
    automatically loaded when a menu by the same name is loaded.

    Thanks you so much for the information.
    I created a file called jojo.cui and moved the toolbar I created to it,
    using the customization
    options in AutoCAD.
    I put that file in a folder accessible to all, and loaded it on all
    computers.

    Thanks, your info was clear and concise.
