Adaptations to the user interface can be made in an adaptation file, *.cui(x). Adaptation files are based on the XML format and can be adapted with the AutoCAD command _cui in a clearly laid-out dialog box.

In addition to the main adaptation file for the relevant AutoCAD version, for example acad.cuix, ATHENA loads during the program start the ATHENA adaptation file (athena*.cuix) and a user adaptation file (ath_user*.cuix) as partial adaptation files.

You will find detailed information about user adaptations and adaptation files in your AutoCAD documentation.

We recommend that for your own adaptations you use a user or company adaptation file (e.g. ath_user*.cuix). Since the acad.cuix or athena*.cuix can be overwritten by updates or service packs, you may possibly lose valuable settings.
