Images can be associated with a command, and are displayed on a toolbar button or next to a menu item in a pull-down menu. You can use images that come with the program or create your own.

Show Me: Create a Custom Image and Assign it to a Command

Click the Play arrow below the following image to start the animation.

The following animation shows how to create a custom image and assign it to a custom command.

Autodesk provides standard button images for buttons that start commands. You can create custom button images to run custom macros. You can either modify an existing button image or create your own. Button images are saved as BMP files. The BMP files must be saved in the same folder as the CUI file that it references.

User-defined bitmaps can be used in place of the small image and large image resource names in button and flyout commands.

Small images should be 16 x 16 pixels. Large images should be 32 x 32 pixels. Images that do not match these sizes are scaled to fit.
