huiz, that's great info. Changed the extension from *.CUIx to *.ZIP and voilą, all the files and icons were preset. That is really good info to have!!

Keith, we're a nationwide company, with offices all around the US, and our versions are ACAD 2011 & 2013 only. We'll see how this goes but if we have troubles I'll get back with you on this to try the DLL method.

DLLs have a little extra security to help prevent some of the more obvious tinkering, and I suppose its easier to write instructions to point to a single provided DLL rather than a folder with potentially a large number of icon files.  In a more enclosed environment the BMP solution tends to be a little easier, as replacing/modifying a single BMP is easier than modifying a DLL.

FWIW - If you navigate to:

Autodesk Developer Network  >  Autodesk® Exchange Apps Developer Center  >  General information for app publishers  >  Icon Guidelines (<-- Direct link)


... Then you'll have access to:

Thanks again RenderMan, downloaded it and went through the material. Good stuff! Glad they offered PSD files for examples. This will definitely help me in my new interface ventures.
