Topic: CustomizationSection AutoCAD 2017 VB.NET

[mindofcat]

Attempting to transfer my AutoCAD 2010 routines into AutoCAD 2017 using VS2015.

Problem: In AutoCAD 2010 VS2010 I could do this:

        Public Shared cs As CustomizationSection
        Public Sub Initialize() Implements Autodesk.AutoCAD.Runtime.IExtensionApplication.Initialize

            ' Retrieve the location of, and open the ACAD Main CUI File for edit
            Dim mainCuiFile As String = DirectCast(Application.GetSystemVariable("MENUNAME"), String)
            mainCuiFile += ".cuix"
            cs = New CustomizationSection(mainCuiFile)

        End Sub

In AutoCAD 2017 VS2015 the 'CustomizationSection' class seems to be missing from the AutoCAD API.
Anyone have any idea where they moved it, or what the AutoCAD 2017 VS2015 equivalent of the code above would be?

Thanks

In AC2017,
When I add a reference to AcCUI.dll

and
using Autodesk.AutoCAD.Customization;
using AcadApp = Autodesk.AutoCAD.ApplicationServices.Application;


This seems to work :

Code - C#: [Select]

1.  
2.             var cuiFilePath = (String)AcadApp.GetSystemVariable("MENUNAME");
3.             CustomizationSection acadCuix = new CustomizationSection(
4.                 cuiFilePath +
5.                 @".cuix");
6.  
7.

Thanks kdub, this did the trick.
Importing acCui.dll gave me Autodesk.AutoCAD.Customization which in turn contains the CustomizationSection I was searching for. The rest was easy after that.

Thanks again. Issue resolved.
