You can link to a RUI file in the Options/Appearance/Toolbars page. The list of linked files is store in the <files> tag in the %APPDATA%\McNeel\Rhinoceros\8.0\settings\Scheme__<schemename>\containers.xml file.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<!--This file was generated by Rhinoceros, DO NOT modify this file-->
<RhinoUI major_ver="1" minor_ver="0">
  <!--Open RUI files-->
  <files>
    <file_name guid="62c289c1-b671-4a87-b03f-14298e34bfea" plug_in_guid="02bf604d-799c-4cc2-830e-8d72f21b14b7" source="File">C:\Users\johnm\Desktop\AddMenuTest.rui</file_name>
  </files>

@JohnM

Thanks, works fine.
I was wondering about the GUIDs and if I can or need to use an arbitrary GUID.
Turns out I don’t need them at all.
The next time I save, Rhino adds/changes the GUID anyway.

So this is enough to write to containers.xml:

<files>
<file_name>C:\Users\Charles\AppData\Roaming\McNeel\Rhinoceros\8.0\UI\TEST.rui</file_name>
</files>

I was able to import the tools menu (rui file) from Rhino 7 to 8. I can’t find a way to save in Rhino 7 and import into Rhino 8 the custom menu popup that I assigned to the center mouse button. . I also can’t export and import the settings of the Space Mouse Pro 3d Connexion. Can anyone help me?

Hi, I need help and can’t get Enscape to run on my Rhino8.

The plug-in properties seem to link to Rhino8 folder, but the RUI is linked with the Rhino7 that was previously linked? Your help would be very much appreciated.
