Also keep in mind that the AppData folder is a hidden folder in Windows, so you will have to turn on the display of hidden files and folders if you plan to use the Search feature or navigate to the folder. If you have your roaming Windows profile files on your network, then look there for the AutoCAD Vertical Product 2018 Support folder. Depending upon where you are in the world and what language version you have installed, the "enu" folder may have a different name. Mine was located atĬ:\Users\dkoch\AppData\Roaming\Autodesk\ACA 2018\enu\Support On the right pane, use the open tool and navigate to the location of the ACAD.cuix file in your user profile.The left pane of the transfer tab may already have your current main customization file open.Start the CUI command to open the Customize User Interface dialog.After installing the AutoCAD 2018.1 Update, launch your vertical product.

The following Screencast shows how to do so. With the updated ACAD.cuix file for 2018 in place, you can now use the Transfer tab of the Customize User Interface dialog to copy the panel and the tool to your customization file.

The first step is to install the AutoCAD 2018.1 update, which you can download from your Autodesk ® Account page. I will be working with the ACA.cuix file, but the same process applies to the MEP.cuix file, or that of any other AutoCAD-based vertical that does not use the ACAD.cuix file.

Here is how to get the Named Views panel and Insert View tool added in the AutoCAD 2018.1 update into your vertical's customization file. I personally have no problem with that, as I would rather maintain the Workspace customizations I have done in my main CUIX file* and manually transfer any new items I deem worthy. While compatible with the vertical applications, the update will not update the customization files for those verticals that do not use the ACAD.cuix file as the main customization file, such as ACA.cuix and MEP.cuix.

The ACA.cuix or MEP.cuix file will not be updated. I would still back the file up prior to running the update if you have any customizations. UPDATE: I have been told that the ACAD.cuix file does not get overwritten if you have already run the program at least once, but that the file is updated and the new panel and tool are added. If you have made any customizations to the ACAD.cuix file, be certain to back that file up prior to installing the update.

PLEASE NOTE: The update will overwrite the ACAD.cuix file for your 2018 product. According to the Readme, the AutoCAD 2018.1 Update can be installed on AutoCAD-based verticals, such as AutoCAD ® Architecture 2018 and AutoCAD ® MEP 2018. You can see what's new in AutoCAD 2018.1 by reading the AutoCAD 2018.1 and AutoCAD LT 2018.1 Update Preview Guide. The ".1" update for AutoCAD ® 2018 for subscription and maintenance customers was released on July 27, 2017.
