It's not crucial to back these up, because a new one will be generated by AutoCAD when a CUIX file is loaded. MNL files are used to hold AutoLISP code that is associated with stuff in your CUIX file(s) the MNL file name matches its associated CUIX file name.Īn MNR file is a "menu resource" file, whose main function (I think) is related to icons associated with the "commands" in a loaded CUIX. The 'CUIx' format also replaces all older workspace customization files, including. If you don't have such, there's plenty of resources on the Web to find out how to change those settings.ĬUIX files contain the guts of your customizable user-interface elements such as menus, toolbars, and workspace(s). The default CUIX file is acad.cuix, which contains the standard layout that is loaded when AutoCAD is opened for the first time.CUIX files are stored as a package of multiple XML and image files. Ask your local Windows guru or IT help staff about this.

If you "can't manually locate" certain folders, it might be because you have Windows Explorer file view settings set in such a way that "system" type files are hidden. BTW, there will definitely be a CUIX there, and an MNR file, but there might not be an MNL file, so don't be concerned if you don't find one. The simplest thing to do is just make a copy of the folder and place it in an easily accessible, familiar place (such as your My Documents folder). are stored, run Options, go to Files tab, and expand the Customization Files node. I assume you meant to write "to backup mnr mnl and cuix". IE search seems to find these somewhere in Program files/Autodes/Autocad2013, I can't manually locate these." ".to update mnr mnl and cuix files before starting the update.
