Has anyone made a cui with the original CAD LT ribbon and all the FX tools on thier own tabs and only on thier own tabs?
I am not finding what i need where i need it in the native FX CAD configuration.
I really do not want to create that from scratch.
I have been using CAD for 20 years and do not want to abandon all that experience to learn a new interface.
I want to be able to learn the FX tools as an 'overlay' / 'plugin' on LT not a mish mash of the two.

I know i can load the original cad cui but i do not want to loose the FX tools i just want to keep them separate.

I will also repost this in the feature request section if it has not been made already.

Hey, Lee. Jesse with Land F/X here. Those are good questions. Since you are a new user, I understand your apprehension about this. Rest assured, you can have a different interface completely and still access all of our tools in the plug-in-specific ribbon tabs. This is how our users utilize Land F/X in AutoCAD, AutoCAD Architecture, AutoCAD Civil 3D, and other products in the AutoCAD suite. Loading one of the stock AutoCAD user interfaces will contain all of our tools to the 5 ribbon tabs that come with the Land F/X software. I have attached a screenshot of a default 2025 AutoCAD installation with Land F/X installed in it. Please try installing one of the AutoCAD CUIX you have been given in our documentation. If you have questions after that, you can communicate those to us in a ticket.

Right, thanks I have that.
What will happen to the FX tabs when i Ioad that?
Where will they go? I do not want just the LT interface i want all the FX tabs to have all the FX tools and only the FX tools.
Same with the LT tabs, all original LT tools and configuration and no FX tools.

Is that possible or have you configured that into a cui?
Lee,

The Land F/X ribbons are defined in a separate interface file completely, and load as a third-party menu group.

Sure, makes sense it has it's own cui and you need that to load the native FX ribbon as i see it now.

Do you have a plan to write a cui with just the FX tabs holding all the FX tools as I described?
Then I can load the native LT and merge it with the FX only cui.
LT tabs on the left and FX tabs on the right.
That would be brilliant and give me what i want.

If not that will be my product request.

Thanks
