User interface elements in the Customize User Interface (CUI) Editor are used to control how standard and custom commands can be started.

The Quick Access toolbar is located along the top of the application window (above or below the ribbon) and provides direct access to a defined set of commands.
You can customize the ribbon by creating and modifying ribbon panels and organizing ribbon panels into groups of task-based tools with ribbon tabs. Ribbon tabs can be displayed on the ribbon with a workspace or based on a contextual tab state when they are needed.
Toolbar customization can be as easy as placing or resizing a toolbar in the application window to gain drawing efficiency or space. You can also create and modify toolbars and flyout toolbars, add commands and controls, and reposition and remove commands and controls from a toolbar.
Pull-down menus are displayed as a list under a menu bar. Shortcut menus (also called context menus) are displayed at or near the crosshairs or cursor when you right-click in the drawing window, text window, command window, in toolbar areas, or the ribbon.
With the Quick Properties palette, for a selected object, you can access a sub-set of the properties that are accessible from the Properties palette.
Rollover tooltips display the current values of selected properties.
Shortcut keys can be used to start commands and to be temporary override keys to execute a command or change a setting when a key is pressed.
You can create a double click action which starts an editing command when the cursor is positioned over an object in a drawing and a double-click event is registered from a pointing device.
You can change the standard behavior of pointing devices in the program.
The term “legacy” refers to those user interface elements that are not commonly used with the current version of the program, but are still supported because some users prefer them to alternative user interface elements that are now provided.
