Message when launching R3 for the first time: CUI file “shipconstructor2008.cui” is an incompatible format and can not be overwritten.

This issue may occur the first time you launch R3. It is not a problem and should not appear again. However, in rare cases this message will occur every time ShipConstructor is launched. Follow these steps to resolve this issue:

  1. Close ShipConstructor 2008.
  2. In Windows, using Windows Explorer, open the ShipConstructor2008\CUI folder under AutoCAD (ie C:\Program Files\AutoCAD 2008\ShipConstructor2008\CUI).
  3. Download and copy the attached ShipConstructor2008.cui into this directory, overwriting the existing CUI.
  4. Delete ShipConstructor2008.mnr.
  5. Launch ShipConstructor.


If you are still encountering a problem, then try the following steps. Note that these steps will reset any customizations made to the toolbars:

  1. Close ShipConstructor 2008.
  2. In Windows, using Windows Explorer, open the ShipConstructor2008\CUI folder under AutoCAD (ie C:\Program Files\AutoCAD 2008\ShipConstructor2008\CUI).
  3. Delete the following files: shipconstructor2008.mnr & shipconstructorCUI.mnr
  4. Launch ShipConstructor to see if the error persists.
  5. If it does, go to Tools > Options.
  6. Click the 'Profiles' tab.
  7. Click to select the '<<Unnamed Profile>>' and click the 'Set Current' button.
  8. Click to select the 'ShipConstructor 2008' profile and click the 'Delete' button and click 'Ok' to exit.
  9. Exit and reopen ShipConstructor. The profile will be regenerated and the error should be gone.
