How to import cuix file to nanoCAD

How to import cuix file to nanoCAD.

1. Download the latest version of the cuix2cfg converter.

2. Unzip it to empty folder. Add your .cuix file to this folder.

3. Run the converter through the Windows prompt: cuix2cfg.exe MyCuix.cuix 

You also can add the following keys to this line:

'-x' adds icons from cuix to the project. Creates the icon library folder, adds the paths to this folder to cfg file. 

'-l' creates the DLL icon library instead of separate icons. This key changes cfg and creates the project for DLL, which can be compiled using Visual Studio.

'-b' uses the Bicubic icon scaling algorithm (softer image). By default, a more contrast algorithm is used.

'-c' creates a new CUIX. If the original file is not recognized by the platform and the feed is missing, you can try this key to create a minimum guaranteed working version of CUIX. In this case, the functionality of the feed may not match the original and, accordingly, will require revision.

'-m' to create a simple menu if the CUIX doesn't include it. If there is no menu in the imported CUIX, the utility has the ability to create a simple menu as a sample for revision.

'-t' to create a simple toolbar if  if the CUIX doesn't include it. If there is no toolbar in the imported CUIX, the utility has the ability to create a simple toolbar as a sample for revision.

4. After conversion you will get the following: 

MyCuix.cfg 

MyCuix_new.cuix

MyCuix_IconLib folder.

5. Move both files and folder to c:\Users\UserName\AppData\Roaming\Nanosoft\nanoCAD x.x\Config\

6. Edit nanoCAD.cfg. Add this text after existing Ribbon section:

[\ribbon\MyCuix_new]

CUIX=MyCuix_new.cuix

visible=f1

and this text to the end of the document:

#include "MyCuix.cfg"

7. It is possible to add new icons to your project. It can be dono in the INTERFACE dialog in nanoCAD or manually in the MyCuix.cfg file, I'll explain both ways.

a) INTERFACE dialog.

Run nanoCAD, call the INTERFACE command. Find your MyCuix.cfg file in the drop-down list. Choose one of your commands, change its BitmapDLL property to the path to icon:
