Function Syntax: AutoBackupCUIX_Start / AutoBackupCUIX_Stop / AutoBackupCUIX_Now / AutoBackupCUIX_Status / AutoBackupCUIX_All Version: 1.1 Date: 20.06.2026 6:39:01PM N/A AutoBackupCUIX - AutoCAD Civil 3D CUIX Backup Utility 🚀 AutoBackupCUIX is an AutoLISP automation tool that creates a daily filtered backup of CIVIL.cuix for AutoCAD and Civil 3D workspace protection. It helps CAD managers protect ribbon customization, CUI menu data, workspace setup, and production toolbar configuration without manually copying CUIX files every day. Main Commands 🟢 AutoBackupCUIX_Start - enables the automatic command-ended backup reactor. 🔴 AutoBackupCUIX_Stop - disables the automatic backup workflow. 💾 AutoBackupCUIX_Now - runs a CUIX backup immediately. 📊 AutoBackupCUIX_Status - prints enabled state, reactor state, schedule, save path, and last backup date. 🧰 AutoBackupCUIX_All - opens the AutoBackupCUIX Control dialog. SEO Optimized Description 📘 This AutoCAD Civil 3D utility automatically backs up CIVIL.cuix to preserve ribbon panels, CUI menu customization, and CAD workspace configuration. 🕔 The default schedule runs once per day after 17:00 when the next AutoCAD command finishes. 🔄 The routine uses vlr-command-reactor with :vlr-commandEnded instead of an idle reactor, improving compatibility with Civil 3D 2024 workflows. 📦 A hidden PowerShell process extracts the CUIX archive, filters configured ribbon panels and tabs, rebuilds the backup CUIX file, and returns status to AutoLISP. Functionalities 💾 Timestamped backup creation - saves files using @DanC3D_dd.mm.yyyy_hh.mm.ss.cuix naming. 🔍 CIVIL.cuix discovery - uses AutoCAD support-path lookup through findfile. 🧩 Ribbon filter logic - keeps @Dan_ribbon_Acad, @Dan_ribbon_C3D, @Dan_C3D, and @Dan_Acad definitions in the backup copy. 🧰 DCL control panel - provides Start, Stop, Backup Now, Refresh Status, and Close buttons. 🔐 Safe status reporting - reports OK, failure messages, or timeout after the background backup task. 🚀 Startup integration - can enable the backup reactor from s::startup. Practical Result ✅ The result is a timestamped filtered backup of CIVIL.cuix stored in the configured menu folder, protecting Civil 3D customization and AutoCAD workspace setup. Important Notes ⚠️ The save path is hard-coded in ABC:SAVEPATH and should be changed before deployment on another workstation. ⚠️ The default backup time is hard-coded by ABC:HOUR and ABC:MINUTE. ⚠️ Automatic backup runs after a command ends, so it triggers after the next completed AutoCAD command after the scheduled time. ⚠️ This workflow depends on Windows, PowerShell, WScript/VBS, and .NET compression support.
