It is recommended to use AutoCAD to handle this file. This is a program created by Autodesk, Inc..
How to open CUIX file?
The main problem with AutoCAD Custom User Interface Format is that the CUIX file is incorrectly associated with programs. This causes the file CUIX to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the CUIX file icon you want to open. If the operating system has an appropriate application to support it and there is also an association between the file and the program, the file should be opened.
Step 1. Install AutoCAD
In this case, you should first verify that the AutoCAD application is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name AutoCAD into the system search engine. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Below is a list of programs that support the file CUIX.
Programs to open CUIX file
Remember to download programs supporting CUIX files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of AutoCAD with CUIX files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the CUIX file still does not use the AutoCAD program, it means no association. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. The program should be visible in the window, otherwise it should be selected manually using the "Browse" button and the program installation directory should be indicated. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the CUIX file with the AutoCAD program.
Step 3. Update AutoCAD to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the AutoCAD program, it is possible that AutoCAD Custom User Interface Format requires a newer version of the program. In this case, use the Autodesk, Inc. website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the CUIX file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. File problems can be divided into the following:
The CUIX file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to CUIX files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our CUIX file. However, remember that not every infected CUIX file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the CUIX files changes over time. On their websites, developers usually offer free solutions to such problems, e.g. in the form of a conversion program or an older version of the program.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair CUIX file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Autodesk
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted CUIX files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
Some operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. Copying the CUIX file to another location will fix the problem.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the CUIX file again. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If this does not work either, restart the device.
