====== Importing RUI and Custom Settings into Rhino 8 ======
{{ :rhino:home:rui_open.jpg?200|}}

==== 1. Import RUI Menu Files ====
If you are looking to import a //Rhino 6 or 7 RUI//, you can do that here in Rhino 8:

  * Go to **Window -> Toolbars... -> ** and in that dialog to  **File -> Open... **, to open the RUI.

==== 2. Alias Shortcuts ====
Aliases are in their own file. In //Rhino 6 or 7// you can go to **Options -> Aliases -> Export** to export an ini file.
In //Rhino 8//, **Options -> Aliases -> Import** to import this file.



==== 3. Keyboard Shortcuts ====

Rhino System options like Keyboard shortcuts, Modeling aids settings, Files settings and more can be saved from //Rhino 6 or 7// with the **OptionsExport** command.

In Rhino 6 or 7, type **OptionsExport** or choose it from the Tools menu, and write the ini file. 
In Rhino 8, type **OptionsImport** or choose it from the Tools menu, and import the ini file.

==== 4. Legacy Toolbar Files from Rhino 5 ====

The Toolbar file format .TB can not be imported directly into Rhino 8.
It is a legacy format that is no longer supported by Rhino 8 or newer versions. 

As a workaround, if you have Rhino 6 or 7 for Windows, you can import the Toolbar and save as a RUI.
This is located in Options -> Toolbars -> File.

  * Go to **Window -> Toolbars... -> ** and in that dialog to  **File -> Open... **, to open the RUI.

If you //do not// have **Rhino for Windows versions 6 or 7** and you have Rhino 8, you can download a **legacy key** [[https://www.rhino3d.com/support/|here]] and install Rhino 6 or 7. Download Rhino from Archives [[https://www.rhino3d.com/support/|here]].

However, if you have one or two .TB files that you need saved as .RUI files, email //tech@mcneel.com// and attach the files.  We are happy to help.
